Inspirational – David McCullough on America’s Founders and You

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.
