“sickness is painful. health is a lot of fun”

This is fun! Here are some more:
Goals without commitment are still only wishes.
When values are clear, decicions are easy.
Dr. Graham’s first rule of holes: When you find yourself ina hole fromwhich you wish to escape, first you must stop digging.
Dr. Graham’s second ruleof holes: Digging more slowly will not get you out of the hole you currently find yourself in.
You cannot experience health to a greater degree than you practice health.
We were born with everything we need to thrive. No one was born with a stove on their back.
If you try to break Nature’s laws, Nature will break you.

Fresh, ripe, raw, organic, plant, foods.
If starches look like more than the paste they are, you need to eat more fruit.

Would you give it to a baby?

I think it goes: “whole, fresh, ripe, raw, organic, plant (foods)”.
I have heard him say it slightly different at different times.
Since I almost never use all capitalization- I am going to enthusiastically communicate with text the way I think a cheerleader might.
WHOLE!
FRESH!
RIPE!
RAW!
ORGANIC!
PLANT- FOODS!

and he adds in “local” somewhere…

excuse me but my children LOVE school and their teachers are excellent..they do a better jb than I do at times..they are educating my children and my children are learning how at a young age to interact with other children…learning to work things out amongst themselves at times..I would say that was a very big plus…Not so sure home schooling is the right choice for everyone…I would not be so judgmental over this…I hated school as a child b/c my teachers sucked, but my children love it…so go figure

or “don’t die…fast”
and then he also said…”We are fighting the war on fat, but the fat won” bahahahha

Thanks for sharing this Markus!
“if confronted, find what we agree on.” My favorite. Reminds me of a similar I wrote:
No need to try to force people to your way of thinking…”Seek to build a bridge from your mind to theirs… Then they can cross over if necessary.”
