I heard an amazing
lecture by David McCullough, one of my favorite authors http://wunc.org/tsot/archive/sot1223abc09.mp3/view.
National Public Radio describes it:
Author David McCullough, a
two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize, writes about American history. He says
that, today, Americans know less and less about that history and he worries
that our ignorance may soon be costly. The author of “1776” and “John Adams,”
among other books, addresses an audience in Greensboro as part of the Guilford
College Bryan Series. His lecture is called "Reflections on 1776 and
Nathanael Greene."
Mr. McCullough’s
lecture provides strong and profound context for where we find our country and
ourselves. Because I have read his works several times, the lecture added an
even greater richness, understanding and appreciation for our founding fathers
and mothers and a renewed and reenergized vision for my family’s future. It is
worth 60 minutes of everyone’s time.
The inspirations
that Ryan and I took from the lecture were many, and I am sure you will find
inspirations unique to you.
How does Mr.
McCullough’s lecture apply to food and health? It reenergizes my mission to
help people take back their health and personal freedom. Large numbers of
Americans have become so controlled by the food and health destruction industries
(processed, drugged food and pharmaceuticals) that they cannot function without
their deadly poisons. American’s energy and vitality continue to wane, their
brains are dulled, and they are repeatedly taken advantage of by corporate
America, to become poorer physically, mentally, emotionally and financially.
The Founders of
America made immense and unimaginable personal sacrifices to create a free
country. Today’s “tough times” pale in comparison, and America is a shadow of
the country they created. They did not do it for financial gain or to maintain
a privileged way of life. They did it because it was the right thing to do. They
were visionary, brave and they persevered beyond what most would ever consider.
Bringing ourselves, and ultimately our country, back to greatness requires a
revolution with the individual first.
