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.

raw people love to talk about their shit!

feeling good. not craving cooked food at all and feeling pretty energetic. all in all, this cleanse seems much easier to me now that i've already been around the raw block. actually, after the master cleanse, this raw thing feels downright luxurious.
my consumption:
-green shake
-handful of grapes
-half bell pepper
-15 almonds
-apple - probably the best pink lady i have ever eaten!
-cousin's dinner - 2 dolma, 2 pieces of flax pizza, 2 pistachio falafel (amazing!), copious amounts of flax crackers, 1/3 piece raw carrot cheesecake with raw chocolate sauce - i want to bathe in this stuff it's so good!
- and of course taking psyllium/bentonite, kamut and fenugreek...

i was also lucky enough to go on a raw outing with pq, l. and some non-raw supporters. it was delicious. it's funny that what would normally be considered inappropriate dinner conversation dominated the table talk. even the waiter chimed in with a heartfelt discussion of his bowel movements and his cleanse du jour. the dude was ex-military turned flake who couldn't quite manage to keep us supplied with flax crackers (or water). i dare say he wouldn't normally turn too many heads, but pq's ears perked right up as soon as he said the magic word: PSYLLIUM. apparently poo is a very powerful aphrodisiac.
