The “Strange Custom” of fasting

March 24, 2010 By Brad Pilon

Every wonder why breakfast is good and fasting is bad?

This is an ADVERTISEMENT that was found in “The Milwaukee Journal” back in 1943

I’ve also blown up the text part so you can read it….

And finally, just a reminder of the real reason why “breakfast is the most important meal of the day”

So it looks like back 1943, the practicing of ‘fasting’ was cutting into somebody’s profits.

(I love the “not wise, not wise at all” line)

Thank goodness the right propaganda can fix this nagging problem (sarcasm)

Personally, I think I’ll keep on fasting…I may not be a ‘champion’, but hey, I’m lean, healthy and enjoy eating when I’m hungry 😉

Fasting for Weight Loss – Setting the Record Straight

Paleo eating and vegan eating are the EXACT SAME THING. This is why any and all research on Paleo diets can be used for Vegan diets, and vice versa. It’s also why any personal experiences people have had with a Vegan diet can be directly applied to what you will probably experience with the Paleo […]

A new definition of health

In 1948, the World Health Organization took a stab and defining health; they said that health was, “A state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” Despite the fact that this definition is vague, unmeasurable, and practically unattainable, it’s still the definition the WHO uses today.
