Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to another climate warrior and regular CleanTechnica reader, Rob Simon.

In all the pharmaceutical commercials of the day, cholesterol drugs always seemed to be for people with a lot of gray hair. So it just didn’t feel right. Luckily, I had one friend in high school who I thought might have another idea for me, and that was Rob.
This was in the 1980s. These people were wayyyyy ahead of their time. And thankfully, Rob knew enough to listen to my situation, and suggest to me, “Sure, Scott, you could take a pill every day for the rest of your life … or you could just eat some f**king oatmeal.”Rob and his amazing family took me in for a week-long stay at their house, where they taught me how to live better. They taught me about how to buy ingredients in bulk at the health food store.
And thankfully, I didn’t shrivel up to nothing. If I had tried to do it on my own without the Simon family’s support, who knows what would have happened? Instead, I flourished. I lettered in multiple sports as a high school senior, making second team all conference in football at the outside linebacker position, and easily making the wrestling team without even trying to lose weight. After a few months of eating healthy, I had become lean and muscular, and full of fuel that.
