Helping Haiti

The overwhelming out pour of help being given to the people of Haiti after the massive earthquake is amazing as they have been needing it even before the devastation. The basic human need of food and water has been scarce for Haitians. But the global empathy shown reverses the plight of this poor nation. They are now centered to receive aid from different countries, corporations, and groups. We all want to help. But are afraid that our donations or time will be misappropriated. We need to make time for Haiti and not just send a $10 text donation. We need to open our hearts, minds, and of course our wallets on genuine help that can save lives. Let us all purge and dwell into the lost that has occurred in Haiti. They need everything except pity. Tap into our finances. Look at what we can sacrifice, not on what we can spare. Collecting our coin jars is good. But canceling or postponing some luxuries and devoting a part of our income will be more profound. Plan to give now and in the future as it will take time to rebuild and even construct a better Haiti. Aside from the financial help we can scour around our environs and source for other type of donations from clothing to even cell phones. They don’t have anything and are barely standing on there two feet which should be emphasized as most have a pair of shoes to spare and donate. Don’t let the conventional wisdom of charity restrain us from helping. Innovate our styles, such as looking in our directories including Facebook for people who have relatives in Haiti and find what they may need. Reach out directly and be involved. Helping Haiti will be an evolved process that will surely make us all proud of sharing this planet. Let us all do our share.

Twinkie Tax

Our sweet tooth has been made numb by the number of articles we have read on the people who die due to Obesity and other related diseases. But the Twinkie Tax title of this article made us want to go walk down to a store and get out sweet tooth fix of the day. Our society has made it so convenient to access sugar filled snacks that promote Obesity. From small to big stores they have made sure that on the checkout counters your are tempted to pickup a snack or two. We do not see fruits or vegtables at the checkout on the grocery line. Currently as the US goverment overhauls the Health Care system the Twinkie or Junk Food Tax is proposed heavily to create revenue. The convenience of soda and sweets will be curbed down by this taxes. Manufacturers have been fighting for the last couple of months to ensure that this federal tax does not happen. At least a dozen states haves taxes already that penalize buyers of this junk food but its revenue our not always directed to the fight on Obesity. Illinois is one of the latest that slapped candy with this taxes and aims to use it to build roads which is unfortunate for our battle on Obesity. We will see this tax push through as more and more people understand that eating this Junk will lead to being overweight then to Obesity then to Death. But until we see on food labels with warnings from the Surgeon General that its consumption of such foods lead to death we will have to see more people die. Twinkie tax is needed if we expect to evolve from the way we consume foods and towards a healthier lifestyle.

Obesity killed the Cat, the Dog, and your Future...

Fat Cat, Fat Dog, and Fat Future. Obesity will be sitting on your face if you don't do anything. Everyone from Time Magazine to the CDC, Center for Disease Control to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation have been shouting on how more than 30 percent of children in the US are overweight and 17 percent are obese. Obesity is also shortening the lives of cats and dogs as we continue to over feed are pets. The culture of excess and the proximity of unhealthy foods dominate our world today. The change that is needed will be a combined voice of the people to a healthier lifestyle. We need advocacy and action towards instilling a new tommorrow for ourselves and our children. We already look at labels at the grocery for nutritional value and we are starting to have labels on fast foods joints and restaurants where we spend more than 50 percent of our food consumption. We know the value of exercise and are waiting for a catalyst to juice up some motivation. The information to prevent and control obesity is abundant and available for us now. Lets start walking to the future. P.Gators Foundation

Save the Whales

We need to fight Obesity in its many forms and as we saw this PETA advertisement that reminder is even bigger. Chanco Brothers are whale lovers which also includes a huge appreciation of the tale. But this picture of a whale does remind us to start doing our Meatless Mondays and helping our good friend P.Gators in fighting Obesity. Let’s appreciate Veggie’s and Fruits more.

Silent Killer.....

Chanco Brothers have been passionate on hunger issues and have neglected the silent killer. We have enabled it to magnify a false security and satisfaction that made our bodies bigger while flushing down years of our healthy lives. We have aimed to feed and nourish the hungry without looking at the scales. Our old definition of weight was the attraction between your body and the earth. Now it is the attraction towards death. The villain which we all know as Obesity has infected the way we live. He is generally ignored as he amplifies the excesses that have been part of our culture. When we let him be a part of our lives then diabetes, heart problems, and a whole encyclopedia towards death’s door is opened. We are ready to fight back and have found the perfect hero. Chanco Brothers are joining P.Gators to fight this worldwide phenomenon that is called Globesity. P.Gators needs our help to stop more people from dying. We have opened our doors to the bad guy in the past, now is the time to welcome P.Gators, the obesity fighting hero.
