This photo of a food truck in front of the Eugene YMCA says so much about the YMCA business model. Clearly the institution is about business. First and foremost it’s in the business of selling subscriptions. Subscriptions to access. Not life-changing results. Not better communities. Not pathways towards longevity.

It’s kind of just a little bit like salt in the wound when we realize that they stuck a vending machine in front of the workout center in the kid drop-off zone.

It’s just gravy to see a bio diesel sticker on the front of the truck and a gasoline power generator in the back. There is no sense of Green at all.

We can all be grateful that the operator rinsed his hands without soap for three seconds after he took his smoke at 6:13pm.
