2020: Looking Into the Future with Clear Eyes

Hello, readers. This autumn 2019–winter 2020 and 54th Fruit-Powered Magazine issue arrives on the edge of our starting a new decade. At this time 20 years ago, panic was rampant over whether Y2K would demolish computer systems. Now, we’re 30 years away from what some environmental experts call doomsday.

As I explore in Issue 54’s In Season story, “Why You Should Go Vegan for the Environment,” which is an open letter to the world, human overpopulation, finite land and water resources, and climate change are colliding in way that threatens life on earth. My story is a clarion call for everyone alive to get illuminated and inspired to make radical changes to their lifestyles to ensure our planet is sustainable for many generations to come.

Get Guidance in the Finest Diet and Exercise Programs

To help people transition to a plant-based or fruitarian diet, my Raw Vegan Coaching Program, part of my Fruit-Powered Life Force Center, is a resource for folks wanting to cut through the clutter and learn from a guy who’s been a vegan for nine years and wholly low-fat raw vegan for almost eight years. One recent client, all of 19 years old and living in a popular barbecue region, sees people in his family and community who are overweight and obese along with suffering from Type 2 diabetes. He’s choosing a life of good health.

Another client, in my Posture Exercises Method, said enough is enough with chronic pain, which held her back from participating in activities she desired. Improvements came quickly, as they generally do when we give our bodies what they need so that we can correct suboptimal joint alignment and posture.

If you and/or loved ones are seeking guidance, I’d be honored to serve as your holistic health coach in what I believe to be the finest diet and exercise programs. With these natural health services, I can work with anyone anywhere through video chat.

Ken IlGunas Zooms in on Minimalism and Wanderlust

This issue’s Closeup interview, “Ken Ilgunas on Vandwelling, Wanderlust and Society,” is with this author, who’s explored a range of timely interests, including minimalism and climate change. Ken and I grew up mere miles apart outside Buffalo, New York. I didn’t know him there, however. I stumbled on his Walden on Wheels: On The Open Road from Debt to Freedom in December 2017 and was blown away by what this resourceful man achieved. I’ve followed him since and enjoy his work and masterful storytelling. A lot of lifestyle attributes Ken Ilgunas writes about such as spartanism and freedom are needed if we’re going to make it in the future.
