FROM THE DESK OF FRANK SAnTANA.

We here at 7Flags Health & Fitness firmly believe our mission is to educate, inform and stimulate our members to better health. We believe wholeheartedly that health starts at home and is a family affair! The fountain head of great health is what we eat. It’s that simple! The old adage you are what you eat is more salient today than ever before. We are unfortunately immersed in an environment of toxic food that is attractive, tasteful, reasonably priced, readily available and heavily advertised. And there are powerful commercial interests that want no change in the American diet and these commercial interests spend billions obfuscating and confusing consumers on what constitutes good healthy foods and their nutritional value through their vociferous advertising directed at man, women and children. The preponderance of scientific evidence clearly suggests that a whole grain/whole food diet is the best way to have and maintain your natural weight and attain superior health throughout your life! Seventy five percent and arguably some would suggest an even higher percentage of your health or lack thereof is determined by the foods we eat! Reading and understanding food labeling and the knowing the ingredients in our foods are paramount to a healthy weight and living a healthy lifestyle. Avoiding fast foods death meals, highly processed corrupted, enriched, hydrogenated, and high in sugar, corn syrup, starches and artificially sweeten foods of any kind will assure you of optimal health. If you need a chemistry book to decipher what’s in the food, LEAVE IT ON THE STORE COUNTER!

Get real and do not delude yourself, understand that the only way to have and maintain a healthy lifestyle, a natural healthy weight throughout the rest of your life will require a “life transformation” of acquiring the right knowledge, surrounding yourself with the right people and growing intellectually where you comprehend that you are totally in control of your health or lack thereof! This exciting “life transformation” is anything but radical, radical is having you put to sleep, having your chest cracked and sawed open, having someone stick their hands in your heart cavity, stop the heart, cut open your groin and take out some piece of your vein to bypass a plugged artery congested with fatty plaque and cholesterol because of your diet! Assuming all goes as planned; they stitch you up and administer the heaviest duty pain drugs there are for days. Next you spend months if not years rehabbing, then do it over again several years later! Now that’s what we call RADICAL!!!!

What better way to start your “life transformation” than joining our CSA program!

Consistent with the most current scientific research and our own belief that health or lack thereof starts with what we eat we want to introduce to our members an upcoming service that we want to provide to our membership. The idea revolves around Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) which is a local food system in which local farmers provides fresh foods, fruits, vegetables, meats, poultry, turkey, eggs, fiber and related products directly to the consumers on a subscription basis. Many of the CSA farms are certified organic and nearly all the CSA farms intentionally implement practices that contribute toward organic farming. Several CSA cooperatives and 7Flags Health & Fitness would join together to provide weekly packages of a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables and/or meats, poultry, turkey, etc., to be delivered at 7Flags for member pick up from May/June of 2009 through September/October of 2009, a period of five months. 7Flags members would have the choice of selecting certified organic products only or otherwise and in addition to the weekly package of fresh fruits and vegetables they can also select from a menu of a variety of certified organic meat, poultry, fish and turkey products to be delivered weekly at 7Flags for member pick up. The cost of the service of having packaged fruits and vegetables delivered weekly is $700 for the five months or approximately $35 per week for the 20 weeks. Orders for meats, poultry, turkey, lamb, etc would be an additional charge.

We want to be sure our members understand this project is more than just buying certified organic foods and better food that is locally grown. You will be buying food that can enhance your health and your family’s health! This is the way to demonstrate and educate your loved ones on living a healthy lifestyle. You will be taking part in a paradigm shift in the farm economy, in the food educational system, in our food transportation system and in the process of integrating our local organic farmers with our local community. You will be supporting our local organic farm movement which is more environmentally friendly farming for our beautiful Iowa environment! You are building a stronger local economy for all of us!
