PacifiCare BASTARDS!

PacifiCare just denied my whole family health insurance! BASTARDS! Each one of us individually was not not worth insuring according to them. I'm OUTRAGED! What the hell is going on with what's left of our country? I have one of the healthiest families in America, yet we got denied health insurance! I'm sending PacifiCare to The Lean Berets-Avengers of Health "Firing Squad" NOW!!!
This is NOT the last of it! I've been given this situation to bring LIGHT to the darkness of the screwed up and corrupt "sick" care system of America. Enjoy the pain PacifiCare because that's what you are going to get from me. What complete BS!

Cankle Throw Down Lean Berets Style!!!

Kevin Rail, Co-Founder, The Lean Berets
Reporting for duty in Malibu, CA!

What is all this talk about "cankles" in the media? For the gymbonically challenged who might be reading this message right now, cankles is a word that describes a phenomenon when the calf of an obese person strategically blends into the ankle area with no concrete deviation between the two. Hmm... That sounds pretty scary to us. To be honest, there is probably one, or on a good day, 2% of the obese population that have cankles because of a health issue with their hormones or glands. But what about the other 98 to 99 percent? All we have to say is one thing... "You need to get 30 minutes of exercise, 30 days in a row with The Lean Berets 30x30!" That should be a good starting point. We are not being critical, judgmental, or being jackwads. We are just telling you the truth and trying to offer assistance, which is a hell of a lot more than your triple mocha latte is doing. Meet us at the park and we'll show you how it's done!

Mitch Albom Show today

The Lean Berets RJ Here Comrades!

I got invited to be a guest on the Mitch Albom radio show on WJR News Talk 760 AM in Detroit this afternoon with Mitch Albom. Mitch Albom is a best-selling author of several books including "Tuesdays with Morrie" and "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" along with running his radio show. I wanted to say thanks to Mitch and his producer because they were an absolute pleasure to work with today. I've done a few media gigs--some of the hosts were not pleasant and didn't give me a chance to speak properly. Today I got time to answer their questions appropriately on the critical issue of child obesity. The show had high energy and was bias for action. I feel like we made a difference today to create awareness about preventing child obesity.

For more on Mitch Albom, go to www.mitchalbom.com

Also, we taped The Today Show segment on child obesity in Ventura, CA. It should air Friday during the 7AM hour--possibly Thursday--but more than likely it will be Friday. It will be available off MSNBC.com for reference. I'll keep y'all posted on the link...stay tuned!
