Hey folks, this is Abel James, and thanks so much for joining us on Fat Burning Man,

where we talk about real food and real results.

I have a special show with you here today with artist and designer Ron Finley, known as the Gangsta Gardner.

Ron lives in South Central Los Angeles and quips that

it's home of the drive-through and the drive-by. So a few years ago, Ron planted a curbside garden

in the strip of dirt in front of his house in L.A. The city tried to shut it down, so Ron accidentally

started a revolution and changed the game of urban gardening. Now he's teaching others to grow real food and urban landscapes and it's transforming food deserts into food forests, one garden at a time.

Before we get to the show, here's a quick update. Thanks to all of you who joined us in the Wild Diet 30 Day Challenge in the Fat Burning tribe. There are thousands of you all over the globe.

You guys totally rock.

So here's what a few of you are saying.

I just want to share this quickly with you.

Rojalia says,

ever since I joined this group, my life changed for the better.

Meeting all of you fantastic individuals helps me get by by motivating me to do better every day.

In 34 days, I lost 27 pounds and people keep giving me

compliments on how nice I look now. I started at 293 pounds and I'm 266 pounds. I'm not going to

stop until I reach my all-time lowest. Then I can finally start my second chance in life. Actually,

you can start it right now, man. So Janet says, hi, Abel and Allison.

I started dabbling in the wild diet.

I am now down 17 pounds total, and I am ecstatic about the beauty of this new lifestyle.

Thanks for calling it a lifestyle.

My blood pressure medicine has been cut in half.
