my body is a temple

As sports, similar to advertisement, is one of our most revealing precursors to our transition, the Steroid Era and subsequent fallout of the Mitchell investigation brings great promise to our direction. The "Chemical Era" is subsiding to the natural state. One that celebrates the body, untainted, and thriving because of it. The Steroid Era came about during the height of postmodern perversion, driven by hypercapitalism. Corrupting our bodies, betraying ourselves and our ability, and taking a cheap shortcut. Our figures and the resulting production becoming grossly exaggerated, distorting the human reality.

Yet, with this fallout, we will find that the body when believed in, can achieve even greater results. To be sincere with our bodies and our ability is the next progression, the truest progression. This move toward the temple of the body coincides with our culture's newfound and rising interest in exercise and health. Although spawning from a superficial, self-involved manifestation, the result will be Real. This deconstruction of the "false body" will trickle into the sphere of plastic surgery and any sort of chemically-based body enhancement. The natural, the sincere, is and always will be the most beautiful.
