Recently, while watching the Food Network I was floored by a commercial. They allowed the Corn Refiners Association to issue a commercial discussing how High Fructose Corn Syrup is not only natural but good for children. This is ridiculous, seeing as though HFCS is one of the most disgusting things the US government has allowed to be developed. There are countless studies showing the effects of HFCS and it really ticks me off that the Food Network would even allow this commercial on their respected channel. People look up to the Food Network for healthy options and solid cooking tips, yet here they are being funded by an industry that supports the destruction of American health. It is of no surprise that the HFCS commercial was entirely funded by none other than the Corn Refiners Association, which happens to be one of the most powerful monocrop beasts in the US.

New Article
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008I recently wrote an article that breaks down carbs and the effects carbs have on the body. It is an introductory article that provides a nice base for nutritional knowledge. If anyone has any questions, please email me about diet and nutrition. Train hard.

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008Recently, I have really gotten things moving with the Garage. Business cards have been printed as well as t-shirts that are now available for purchase. They are 20 dollars. A new article will be posted in a day or so that is focused on carbs and their place in training diets. Also, in the near future I will be posting new videos based on training and continue to update the articles section.
