"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease." -Thomas Edison
A Letter of Introduction
Phil’s Power Pancake was established in 1981 to assist a nutrition program consisting of unrefined foods and high density powders. Power Pancakes are grilled and served hot with fruit yogurts, delicious.
In 1991 I heard the call for a convenient snack food and contracted the Zen Bakery in Los Angeles to begin production of a baked version of the Power Pancake. The Sport Club L.A. and the Gold’s Gym in Venice were my first accounts. During this time the Pritikan Diet was leading the march of non-fat diets. I was promoting fat as a healthy part of your diet. Other companies introduced non-fat muffins (intentionally mislabeled) and my product suffered. Now it’s the low-carb diets that are in vogue, and again, people think Power Pancakes are bad.
I studied Architecture at Ohio University from 1968-72, focusing on European design and philosophy. My designs considered ecology and conservation as overwhelming criteria. Now with foods, we must realize the amounts of water, land and chemicals that are being used by today’s industry in food processing. What’s right for the body is pure nature, backed by pure science, not endless hoopla from a corrupt food system. As I write this letter, lawsuits against the food industry will help to spell out the truth. In the baking industry, white flour, trans fats and corn sweetening has dominated recipes for decades now. Soy products are highly refined and are not healthy at all. High protein diets are an environmental nightmare and lack sufficient nutrition for optimal immune response.
It’s up to nutritionists, personal trainers, food managers and store owners to fix this problem. If we make a change from refined industrial ingredients to a 100% natural approach, many of our health problems will vanish. If we start to ride bikes and drive less, there will be no need to fight wars for oil. Now is the time to start the revolution. The proceeds from Phil’s Power Pancake will go toward helping educate people in these areas. The Eco Diet and Lifestyle will outline all the information people need to know in order to connect with organic farming and bicycling for ultimate health and wellness. The movement will help to increase business for environmentally responsible companies and natural food lines.
Let’s work together to improve the food quality and design of our businesses and philosophies. I’m willing to come and talk to any group of citizens concerned about our children’s health and the future of America.
