“The reason that I’m doing this is that I want to give people hope and inspiration,” Charles told BLACK ENTERPRISE
For 35 years, he has been preaching that same lifestyle to others, but now, he’s done talking; he wants to continue putting action behind those thoughts by being a living example for others to turn their lives around.
“I don’t feel like talking about it anymore,” he continued. “I feel like doing something, and I want to show people that they, too, can turn their lives around. I’ve been doing this for 35 years, but I want to bring attention to myself because so many people are asking me what I’m doing all the time. The more people know about me, the more I can address what I’m doing and how eating certain foods and having a diet and exercise regimen in place can alleviate the need for drugs. You can also lose weight easily, have more energy, and you’ll feel better than ever.”
Charles added, “The bottom line is that you’ll have more fun and be happier.”
That, coupled with his background in exercise and fitness, the ever-evolving desire to continue eating clean and encourage others to adopt the same lifestyle is more than enough to keep him going.
“I want to get one million people to investigate plant-based eating. You don’t have to be vegan, vegetarian, or all of these labels,” said Charles. “We give out all of these labels, but my philosophy is that whenever you eat plants, anything is possible, and the more plants you eat, the better off you’ll be.”
Charles, a member of the Major Taylor cycling club, is grateful to have the support of his community and is also encouraging all New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, and Chicago members to join him on the ride as he passes through their respective cities.
