drinking the green kool-aid

Green kool-aid is how I like to describe the cult-like experience of raw food, or really any crazy diet. People always seem half-fascinated and half-horrified by my commitment to cleaning my colon, so I thought I'd share my experiences in excruciating detail. As with any train wreck, it's hard to look away. Nonetheless, I've managed to pick up some comrades along the way, as a result of my dear friends' curiosity and solidarity. Others interested in drinking the green kool-aid, holla.

dry heaves, take 1.

i drank my first bentonite and psyllium coctail. for those raw novices out there, bentonite is a clay that is used to draw out toxins from the body; psyllium is water soluble fiber that creates bulk and pushes everything through. while the pysllium seems harmless enough, i dare proclaim that clay is not fit for human consumption. emily was a trooper and watched me dry heave with every bite (note: the mixture was so thick i had to eat it with a spoon) and kindly suggested some honey to help things down. the last spoonful was dangerously close to ending up down emily's sink: everytime i put some in my mouth it would come halfway back up before finally going down. an hour later and i still feel completely ill. gross.
