The Human Doing

Have you been to the Mall of America lately?  If you haven't and don't mind the crowds and dodging people then you should make a trip out to see the "The Human Do-ing" , man living in a glass apartment in the Mall.  "One man. In a box. For one month. Living a healthier life with your support."  Blue Cross Blue Shield is sponsering this event of capturing a man living in a glass apartment where he lives all the time, he sleeps there, eats there  and exercises there.  The idea is that he is on display and with the support and watchful eye of mall goers and those on facebook who are monitoring his progress has sort of an obligation to do good.  He is learning to cook healthy and you can vote on what "do" you'd like to see him perform. You have 3 options that you can vote on and that he will then "do" for example right now you can vote for 1.) stretching 2.) meditating 3.) yoga.  The activity with the most votes is what his next "do" will be.  Here is a message from Scott, the man in the glass apartment
"Can support from your family, community and surroundings lead to a change in lifestyle behavior?
I’m The Human Doing. I’ll be here for one month to find out. Vote for the healthy activities you’d like me to do. Then do them with me.  Every do I do — no matter how big or small — is a do for everyone. When I sweat, you can sweat with me. When I learn a healthy recipe, you’ll learn it, too.  My success can be your success."

visit him on Facebook to stay up-to-date on what he's "do-ing" and how he is leading a healthier lifestyle and then stop by at the Mall of America and see his glass apartment conveniently located between some rather unhealthy
