I have decided to stop ingesting dairy and eggs.
And, I use the term “ingesting” loosely because I am not doing this for any moral reason…. I’m selfishly just doing this for myself. Completely hypocritical, maybe, yes–definitely… but also completely in sync with the trends that motivate me. I came to this decision after months and months of scientific research in quest of a cure for my son’s allergies to dairy and eggs. As it turns out, there isn’t a cure–and there probably never will be. There is also varied and limited, although growing, resources and theories surrounding food allergies… A LOT of finger pointing and not a lot of fixing. But what I did find… politics, politicians, chemicals, antibody killing hormones, GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOODS… organic lies, untested treatments, mistreatment of animals and LOTS lots lots lots of manure. And, as it turns out, I have been putting all of this into my body for years. If my midsection were a stage and the curtains opened it would be a serious Rocky Horror production, most likely… (there’s more after the giant egg)
Now, I am not trying to dictate or make generalizations on vegetarian lifestyles… MOBY, I am not and never will be… I am also completely aware that the VEGAN POLICE will consider my attempts to be pungent and wreaking of rotten garlic… But WHATEVS, I am just testing this out… I started on New Year’s day after spending the days before gorging myself with the very cheese that I have become addicted to. Honestly, I have never been a dieter — so having RULES is something new for me AND this will not be easy… but as I sit here on day 5 — I am feeling a little bit lighter… Less PUFF, shall we say. And while I’m treating myself like a lab rabbit… I am looking for new things to eat, recipes, websites and cookbooks to try…. I’ll try it all and then let you know the results… Recommend away before I waste away to nothing… Readers-O-Thisblog, PLEASE, DO TELL–I know you have the goods…
