When I said I was leaving my friends’ wedding reception at 9 PM, I definitely got some looks from other guests.

You’d have thought I’d suddenly grown a second head!

I had a lot of fun and was honored to be part of my friends’ wedding.

At the same time, parts of the day reminded me of why, as Rebels, we’ve gotta stick together.

It doesn’t mean we turn our noses up at non-Rebels. That sure isn’t gonna spread hope and healing.

But it DOES mean we’ve gotta spend time around like-minded people to help us stay strong.

This world has a lot of good things and caring people in it, and it also has a lot of problems.

One of those problems is how sick we are.

The copious amounts of crap food and sugar, the fixation on big pharma’s so-called “solutions” instead of food as fuel, the sneaky ways of keeping us “fat, dumb, and happy” so we stick our heads in the sand and eat…it’s out of control.

And it’s SO easy to get sucked back into it all.

There are lots of grassroots movements – including Code Red – fighting back. There are more and better options in stores and restaurants.

But the mainstream world is still all about obesity and disease.

So tell me…

Will you stay in that world?

Will you allow yourself to get sucked back into it?

Or will you fight for yourself, your kids/grandkids, and your loved ones?

There are two VERY simple ways to fight.

1) Be the example. You may not be “perfect,” but you can always be better. Keep working at it. The magic is in YOU.

2) Connect with other Rebels. Get and keep people in your corner, so we can all fight TOGETHER.

I wish it was easier to be healthy in today’s world. I really do.

But it’s not, and it won’t get any easier until we do something about it.

Pick your hard by linking arms with your fellow Rebels, and keep going.
