We are in the "Give Up" stage in America.
The food industry and mainstream commercialism is killing the American Man. What is Okay? Being Fat is okay. Being fat is normal. Being fat is funny. Being fat is sexy. Being fat is celebrated.
Sugar is in everything. The American man is consuming 20 tea spoons of sugar every day. Excess sugar turns to fat. Also, processed sugar is toxic. Try this... take your sugar intake to ZERO for two weeks. At the end of two weeks, eat a bowl of ice cream. See if you don't wake up with a screaming headache. Gentlemen, sugar is the hardest thing to combat. It takes your full attention and discipline.
Also, American culture has been built on a foundation of drinking. Outside of fitness type exercise, American men get together to drink alcohol. Its starts in high school and escalates in college. While most Men drink less later in life, the older body is less capable of processing beer & wine the older we become. The fat beer drinking American (doesn't even have to be drunk) is today's picture of masculinity. Guys, your friends really don't care if you drink or not. It is possible to watch a football game without drinking.
Also, porn is prevalent. The sex slave is booming right under our noses. Mary Frances Bowley runs Wellspring Living, a nonprofit organization in Atlanta that helps young survivors of human trafficking get their lives back by providing shelter, education and counseling.
"In Georgia, we know there's a range from 200-300 girls that are trafficked each month in our city. And tonight there will be 100 girls that will be exploited in metro Atlanta," Bowley said. "So the numbers are huge." Men are providing the demand for this. In case you need real man reasons to stop playing with yourself, know that every champion boxer abstains from "letting it go." NO guy about to fight for money is going to give his chi away before the brawl. No fighter would ever play with himself. Masturbation is pointless and a complete waste of energy.
Eating & Drinking like a pig and watching porn (or worse) is robbing men of mind body and spirit. While men are just enjoying the short term simple pleasures in a life of leisure, they are really growing old fat, stupid and creepy.
"Monk Life" is a term I use to describe a simple day that eliminates sugar, alcohol and sex (especially masturbation). The idea is to eat just what is needed to fuel an active lifestyle, drink mostly water and read or meditate with any free time at night (No TV, NO Computer).
Stripping away the garbage that is killing the American Man is the way to find the masculine power that is inside every dude. The hippies would say "tune out and tune in."
