SunPower Cafe Update: new dining room
Check out SunPower’s new dining room! We’ve doubled the size of the restaurant, added beautiful new mahogany tables and soft lighting. The perfect place to take a date or enjoy your birthday or other celebration.
Also, we’ve added new staff to prepare and serve your food in less than 15 minutes during the lunch hour and at night.
Look to SunPower for great new specials and menu items as we’ve added Joseph Waller, a terrific, classically trained chef. Joseph’s resume includes Inn of the Seventh Ray and other fine gourmet vegetarian restaurants. You’ll LOVE his dishes. They are very memorable.
** SunPower Cafe needs your help. Please tell your friends about us. Our all organic vegan and raw food cuisines are creating quite the stir with vegetarians and meat eaters alike. Yes, meat eaters make up half our customers and they come for the taste!

Recently, a skeptical meat eater came with his girlfriend. He loved it so much that they came back 8 nights in a row and sometimes for lunch. Ends up, he owns a chain of Italian Restaurants but he was blown away by how delicious raw and vegan food can be at SunPower.
We look forward to seeing everyone at SunPower Natural Cafe soon. **

Power Balance Performance Technology Bands

Power Balance Performance Technology Bands

Today at the Pasadena Marathon Expo I visited the Power Balance booth where I talked to Collin an employee of the company.

Power Balance is an interesting product that allows you to tap into science and offset by frequencies and increase your balance and power.  I did the demo and it sure seemed to work. Many athletes wear multiple stickers or bands and there are tons of testimonials.

Improved Balance

Greater Flexibility

Increase Core Strength

I purchased one wristband at the show at the show special discount price.

You can purchase them online and use discount code : “troy” and get 10% off, one band is about $42. Which is retail.

Performance Technology is a mylar hologram that is embedded with a range of frequencies found in nature that react positively with your body’s energy field. It has been shown to improve balance, flexibility and strength as well as contributing to an over sense of well being among its users.

Last week Today Tonight had a piece on a product called “Power Balance Bracelets” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFfofm… which they claim even the scientists and sceptics can’t explain. World famous sceptic, Richard “The One” Saunders from Australian Skeptics didn’t quite agree with this claim so came onboard for a follow up report.

He explains how it works, gives a demonstration and runs 5 tests, all of which failed miserably. Unfortunately only 2 made it to the final cut.

Take note of the chiropractor at the beginning claiming he would stake his credibility on the product.

Moby Booking Signing at Skirball Cultural Center

The event will be a discussion, Q&A and signing by Moby & his co- editor Miyun Park. More info on the book is below.

Gristle: From Factory Farms to Food Safety (Thinking Twice About the Meat We Eat) Edited by Moby with Miyun Park An information-packed, lively, and informative little guide, Gristle is for the growing number of people—from meat-eaters to vegetarians— who are thinking twice about the perils of our system of animal processing and factory farms.

Multi-platinum musician Moby and leading food policy activist and expert Miyun Park have brought together ten of the country’s leading voices on this issue—including foodies, policymakers, food business leaders, and food activists—who together eloquently lay out how and why the over-consumption of industrially produced meat unnecessarily harms agricultural workers, communities, the environment, human health, as well as animals.

Combining hard-hitting facts with a light touch—and with fascinating charts and illustrations depicting the stark realities of America’s industrial food system—Gristle is the first stop for everyone who wants to make informed choices about the food they consume.

Brendan Brazier, two-time Canadian 50km Ultra Marathon Champion and Ironman triathlon competitor
