Heath food junkies...part 1



This documentary was really interesting, but, people who are obsessed with what they put in are also obsessed with what comes out of them. I had to skip through parts or vomit.

There are always those who take things to extremes. I don't think this is much better than those who eat a really fatty diet. Personally, if my husband came home from work and said "Hey Honey! How's about we go on an enema-holiday?" he would be trying to remove my boot from his ass for a week.
I always go back to the old adage---all things in moderation.
The idea of trying to have a healthy diet is fine, but the idea is variety.
As for the woman who gives colonics at her clinic, exactly what does she think shit looks like? It looks like shit. It's not pretty, and no amount of eating uncooked food will turn it into anything other than shit. As a friend at work told me "you can't polish a turd". Wise words from a wise man.

OK, I get the raw vegetables, but I would have to be in the dessert a mighty long time to drink pee. And maybe by hen I would choose death. As for the colonics, just who was the first person to decide that the best place for coffee was up your butt. What about all that caffeine. I thought caffeine wasn't good for you. I wish I could be that dedicated to a diet. But I'm a cajun at heart. I like the taste of good food. Be it fried, boiled, roasted or raw--I like food! And if I want to drink something yellow, it will be lemonade! I know I'm not a healthy eater, but I'm a happy eater. That is, until I get on a scale. Now that's a whole different story!

Christina... that quote is going in my book. Right next to "you can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit"!

"You can't polish a turd!"---I love it!!!

Bayou Jane said...

Another thought---wouldn't they have a big gas and diarrhea problem?

Enrique...glad you're here. I know the military stresses the importance of survival training. Has the issue of drinking your own urine ever come up?

This is off topic DD
I just got word from my contacts at city hall
Toronto has decided to foot the entire bill &
headstone for Cory Haim. His funeral is set for
Tuesday march 16th. No wonder our citys nikname
is "Toronto the good!" thank you for the space DD. -Kiki

OMG URINE THERAPY!!!!!!! That was enough for me!

Bayou Jane said...

I loved lost boys and burbs. I really liked anything with Cory in it. He acted and said things in his movies (and I believe probably in his life) that I wish I had had the guts to say! Like...Fuck off!
I would be telling my dear boss that more than once a day!

Toronto is a GOOD city!

Canada doesn't sound too bad either. If it just wouldn't be so damn cold during the winter. If we keep having earthquakes, Canada may end up being tropical one day.

Pat...hope you're having a relaxing weekend! Just a crazy thought. If hypnosis can help people stop smoking and such, maybe it could help take the edge off of the irration your mom causes you. Maybe make it less intense. You could trade a card reading for a session. Something to think about!

Bj you should visit us in the summer when you
get a break from school. It hits the high 77s :) Kiki

Bayou Jane said...

Kiki...I think I would love your summers. Maybe one day I could be one of those little old ladies that summer in Canada and winter in Florida. That would be nice!

Has anyone been watching what's going on in Mexico? I don't think I'll be planning a vacation there for a while!

Bayou Jane,

Survival is just that, and if it requires drinking your urine; well then that's what it takes. Especially when water is scarce and life is on the line. You will want to drink it when your body is ready.

I carried plastic bags of all sizes to wrap around green foliage, condensation forms and some water will puddle in corners for a gulp. There are lots of learned tricks depending on the terrain and flora. Bit of water will serve as bait for a snare as well. Catch a snake or lizard.

I drank rabbit blood before I cooked him in a buried box once during the survival phase, but I'd rather eat roots and berries like a bear. I have eaten grass and other less than appetizing bugs as well, but not urine...yet.

Your mouth gets too dry and without water and no moisture your rectum is the only choice for ingesting nutrients, and usually it's your buddy helping you with that while you watch for enemies with your trousers by your ankles and your rifle in your hands. Your buddy working "like a mechanic" under your hood.

This is something we practice because a 5 man team is vulnerable if spotted, so losing a man to disease or illness is harmful to everyone.

The Mexico thing is out of control. So many AMERICANS go missing on the border every year, but it gets very little press anywhere. It will take drastic measures to fix.

What state has the second most kidnapping rates in the world?.... Arizona!. Let's do something already!.

Then again; Wall Street has had us all in the same precarious position and arrogantly working under our hood for decades.

I really hope that whomever takes the reins at Treasury and SEC is an outsider with a chip on his/her shoulder, and takes a special kind of delight in bringing down these grief and greed pimps.

"All arrogance shall reap a harvest rich in tears; for God calls men to a heavy reckoning for unweening pride". -Herodotus

I think about that every day.

Dude lighten up please it's only Monday,still got
a lot to do towards working for this weekend.

It's been a while since Ive heard the father of
history himself name out of ( my UofT Latin )
undergrad school studies. Wow I'm impressed !
You are a well read man Enrique. Did you study
Latin ? What about the ancient Greeks and
Romans ?? I'm just curious & you don't have to
reply back if you don't wish to do so. I understand.
I must say it is astounding that his writings have
held up since the 5 th century into the new millenium.
Btw is Alex still there visiting with you ? ATB ttyl :) Kiki

kiki,

Alex will be moving to Australia soon. His ex wife and kids are in New Zealand, so he'll be close to them. I guess he'll finish out the Summer here with us and take advantage of the home meals.

Yes I did study Latin and Greek, and also classic Roman and Greek history and works. All the stories of the past apply today. The last book I read was Suetonius' "12 Ceasars"-for the third time!- What a collection of personalities and sexual deviants--so much power in one person's hands. Now I am reading "Crime and Punishment" by Dostoevsky. It is the fourth time I try to get it started, but now I'm making some headway and may finish it before picking up something else.

I want to get a book on Naval Architecture next, or something a little more upbeat than Mr. Rodya Romanovich Raskolnikov.

Oh I see that's nice to have him here for the
summer. Then after he goes back hone u can
go visit him perhaps when they have summer
which is our winter.

Yes I remember your letter describing the
writings detail of Raskolnikov's room. You did
mention you were rereading Crime And Punishment.
If I may say so you do have quite an ecclectic
taste in literature my friend. I mean this in a
positive complimentary way & with all due respect.

I also studied Greek & Latin.
Do you speak Greek Enrique? English
Tikanis thessaloniki Enrique? Greek

Damn, I am in the presense of intelletual gradeur! I bow to my betters. I have just finished the Reader's Digest. Got all the vocabulary correct and you just can't beat Humor in Uniform!
I'm feeling more stupid by the minute!

Gawd! I'm so far behind! (Said in best Eddie Izzard voice following along in heels)
OK. If these people are such "naturalists", why do they keep giving themselves enemas and colonostic cleansings? If they believe that "natural" foods are the answer to following our "holistic" path and staying "in tune" with our bodies, then why do they believe in such a shitty way to get rid of our crap? What? Our bodies do not do a proper job of it (getting rid of crap) "naturally?" We need help? With enemas and "cleansings?" That seems like a double standard right off the bat, to me. Plus, I thought your diet was reflected in your hair. Why is all their hair so dull and lifeless? And why do they all seem so unhappy? They all seem more happy when they are "inflicting" their lifestyle upon others, rather than when they are actually living it themselves. Seems more like a religion to me.
Just an observation.
