The Vision: America will be the healthiest nation in the world, within 10 years.
--Bill Phillips
I believe America can and should be the healthiest country in the world rather than the most unhealthy, which it is now. We can transform from worst to first. And I am determined to help make it happen.
We began in 2003 with a demonstration. Thousands of people participated and "donated" pounds of unhealthy bodyfat they lost during the year. Our objective was to collectively abolish one million pounds of unhealthy bodyfat. We worked together, and we achieved that initial goal. And in doing so, we demonstrated that when a group of Americans with similar values and beliefs works together, extraordinary results are possible.
I prepared an official report titled, "The Great American Transformation: People Who Are Making a Change and Making a Difference in the Nation's Health." I personally delivered this report to Washington, D.C. in 2004 to show that the health of America can indeed be improved by people who are ready, willing and able to do their part.
The Vision will become a reality and millions of Americans will get involved. They see people transforming and becoming healthier, leaner, stronger, more energetic, more alive… and it inspires them to have faith that they can do it too. And that's how the Great American Transformation will happen. Millions of people will set the example, which millions more will be inspired to follow.
The American transformation has begun. And it will continue! You can participate by setting personal health and fitness goals, exercising and eating right, and encouraging others to do the same!
