THE FAT TAX

Being out in the deep woods and countryside brings me endless amounts of joy and peace. My thoughts are rich and fertile and my lungs seem to expand greater gathering cleaner air. My nose helps this process along constantly sucking in deep breaths of all the glorious scents that can be found lingering about the hills and pines. Hunting, fishing, hiking and the like put me in a euphoric state and make me feel light yet rooted and exposed to the bone. Nothing better in my book.

I would assume some of the same emotions can be felt by those in tune with the Self regardless of the environment. I'll bet those that stroll the downtown streets can find joy in marvelously tall buildings, window shopping and the smells and sounds of bustling streets. Definitely not my pony to ride, so to each his own.

Take Alabama, for example. Warm summers, swamps, rivers and dark woods would drive anyone inclined to earthy living outdoors. Catfish noodling has always amazed me. It must take more than just fortitude to stick an arm down the throat of a toothy, forty plus pound, aggressive prehistoric looking fish. I'll pass, but it's sure "good watchin'".

With all the etouffee this and the deep fried that one could easily surmise that the Crimson Tide State is generally unhealthy. Well, that's all about to change come January 1, 2009. The southern state is about to employ measures to encourage state workers to get fit or pay up. In August, the Alabama State Employees' Insurance Board approved a plan to tack on an additional $25 to cover their insurance premiums, if they don't take advantage of free health screenings available to all state employees.
Bravo, 'Bama!

The critics don't see it this way though. They've branded the plan unfair and discriminatory against those with genetic predispositions. This "Fat Tax", mind you, is only imposed on those who refuse to take the free screenings which help to identify health risks associated with obesity.

First, I'll offer to run these critics through a quick nutritional analysis and preworkout warm up. If they can make it through just ten minutes of the warm up and have at least one serving of vegetables in their diet on a daily basis that are not prepared deep fried, then I'll start to listen to their oppositional stance.

Others have argued that this "Fat Tax" amounts to lawful discrimination that infringes on the right of free will. Lets look at free will within this free country. Free to do what? Anything and everything I guess. Frankly, we have experienced freedom to such a degree that we forget about effort and productivity on many levels. So much so, that we have become glutenous and lazy. As I have preached before and will continue to do so, we are breeding a weak human race that is evolving itself on a path to self destruction and elimination.

Having a little "Come to Jesus" meeting with your doc may be just the right kind of "slap in the face" reality for your free will and deteriorating body. I know it's a whole sack of cats easier to stop by Fried Freddy's and pick up a cheap meal instead of going home and preparing something that has more nutritional value than old shoe leather. But, if you want to still have most of your parts in working order by the time you slide into your golden years, it might be time to take note and save yourself $25.00.

After all, you may need that $25.00 to get you to the end of the month if the state of the economy continues to dwindle...just like your health. Get on board the only boat that doesn't seem to be sinking, get yourself checked out with your doc and find the solutions your free will has been ignoring with a Habitsforming program designed with your needs as priority. Find awareness without excuses.

Yours in reality,
Rochelle Gravance
