The Functional Path is a path that had been traveled many times before but had fallen out of use in favor of smoother paved roads that promised faster and easier results. Seeking to follow and better define the functional path is a continuing journey, fortunately it is a journey that many have traveled before. Functional Path training is getting back to the basics of movement. It is learning to tune into the body and it’s inherent wisdom to produce rhythmic flowing movement.
Unhappy Meals is the title of a great article from the Sunday New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/28/magazine/28nutritionism.t.html?th&emc=th
magazine written by Michael Pollan. It really made me think. After reading this it is no wonder that we have an epidemic of obesity and diabetes. The solutions are rather simple. This is a must read!

Funny,
My colleague just sent me the same link. May be the best "mass media" article on nutrition I have seen. Awesome!
Keep well
Will
