People say, “I'd die for my child!” But no one ever says they would "live for their kids". It’s so noble to shout that you would lay down your life for your child, but why don't you take care of your health and live for your child?

Have a look at some startling figures. As many as 33% of the people in this country are obese, while 66%, that is two-thirds, are overweight. Have you looked around at how sick and fat our society is? This is the first generation of children that will not have a longer life expectancy than their own parents. 

Every single time you lift the fork to your mouth, you are either shortening your life or you are lengthening it. But nobody thinks about the crap you're shoving into your mouth in the name of food. Nobody thinks that you are on your way to orphaning your child. You are setting it up to where you die at 54 years old, because your diabetes went unchecked and now your spouse has got to raise your kid. Nobody's talking about that. But in this episode, I’m going to be taking it up with you, so stay tuned.
