RSS Feed #3 (Greasy Grandpa? Muscular Moma?)

During my search for more RSS feeds, I ran across one that really caught my attention.  A news feed in the New York Times was titled, “60-Plus, Ripped, and Natural Competitors.”  Disgusted by the thought of “ripped” elderly men and women made me a little curious on whet exactly this news feed was about.  Apparently, The World Natural Sports Organization puts on a body building competition for the “chizzled” men and women over sixty years of age.  Just picture your own grandfather up on stage, greased, oiled, and in a skimpy Speedo.  I’m sure this is not a sight you would be interested in seeing, however these people are no ordinary old men and women. A competitor in the contests had this to say, “Age is a statistic, not a burden and there is no reason a man or woman can’t get into and maintain the best shape of their lives at any age.”  However these bodybuilding contests were different than others.  These contests required all of their participants to be completely drug and steroid free.  Even without the harmful drugs, these people could still be in great shape; especially for their age!  This news feed informed the readers that people don’t have to take drugs or any steroids to be in shape, fit, or muscular.  The author of this news feed put together a good story, while giving out a great message to people who may believe drugs are essential in being fit.
