Seriously. Have you seen Jack LaLanne lately? I came across a Sunday afternoon infomercial two weeks ago featuring him, his wife Elaine, and super model/raw food guru Carol Alt. They were touting the virtues of juicing and blending one juicy brew after another in one of Jack LaLanne's power juicers . I found myself riveted to the TV. At 93 years-old, the man is absolutely charismatic. He truly is a walking, talking billboard for eating healthy foods and exercising. He looks amazing!!!
Over the years, Jack has become famous for quotes he's made during interviews and public speaking engagements. (little gems known as “LaLanneisms” ), including saying, "I can't die. It would ruin my image."

He has certainly inspired me. So much so, that in my quest for a new juicer (the old one is literally being held together using a paper clip and duct tape. Ahem, you get what you pay for.), I decided to buy the Jack LaLanne Power Juicer.
I bought it at Target, rather than from the infomercial. As far as juicers go, at $120 it's not considered "high end", but it's easily the best quality juicer I found in the $100-$150 range (my pre-set budget). It's easy to clean (oh, happy day!), has a large chute that can receive large vegetables and fruit (like whole apples), and it extracts on average, 30% more juice than comparable juicers. No lie, I'm getting nearly 20 ounces of juice with the same amount of produce that used to get me 12 ounces. Only time will tell whether or not it will hold up mechanically, but so far so good. Thanks Jack! Your a true inspiration!
