August 3, 2006- Below I have included an excerpt from my best-seller Living A God-Glorifying Life Through Good Health. It is taken from Chapter 2- Technology and Declining Health, subtopic Time. "I remember when I was growing up that not only did we eat nutritious meals, we, a family of twelve, ate together. That seems unbelievable nowadays. My mother did not have to try to squeeze cooking in between her full-time job because her full-time job was taking care of the house and us.
Today each member of the household has a hectic schedule and his or her own agenda. We’re so busy running between school activities, meetings, practices, work, and, factoring in the commute time to get to these activities, we don’t have time to sit down and eat a healthy meal together. So what do we do? We grab a saturated fat laden burger and an order of over-salted french fries with a super-sized, sugar filled Coke to wash it all down with. Or we grab a snack from a vending machine. And we call that lunch. And we wonder why we along with our children are obese, feeling sluggish, and have type II diabetes!"
