RE: 🐓🐖🐂 I "survived" a week (and a half) without meat and this is what I learned...🌾

in #steemit6 years ago

Nofa King wayyyyy… 6 years without farting in front of @lionmom… I call bullcoughcoughshit. I don’t think Dandays has ever NOT made music with his butt in front of me. Haha… I can’t say we experienced the same bathroom ailments as you when we switched our diets… or maybe there were some adjustments but everything must have normalized fairly quickly. Good job guys, giving it a good go… our diet is such a personal and sacred thing. Completely switching up what you eat for any amount of time is difficult, especially when you’re living in a community that emphasizes the opposite of what you’re trying to do.

The food industry is such bs these days. They’ve perverted everything and it’s not right that those who can afford it get to eat real food while others have no choice but to eat the biscuits which lead to disease like Hansel and Gretal dropping bread crumbs to the pharmaceutical industry. Mad props for carrying out this experiment. Smart man, don’t deprive a pregnant woman of ANYTHING…

You know what has been the most difficult addiction I’ve ever kicked? It was sugar. Sugar in any form when it’s not shooting to my happy receptors in my brain is gnarly. There’s a withdrawal, both physical and psychological, the cravings are like nothing I’ve experienced before and the temptation is every frikken where. Everything, every condiment, every bagged or canned item at your grocery store, every piece of fruit, everything has sugar in some form added to it. It’s nuts. Of course I eat normally now so the cravings are less intense but now hyper aware when my addiction is doing the talking. Anyway, I’m talking your ear off… thanks for putting us in a category with Natalie Portman. Haha…

Sort:  

Oh yeah, I think sugar can be put at the same level as sex, or crack!
I still enjoy fructose from time to time, and jam, but that's it. I even indulged myself with the worse drink possible, which is Monster Energy drink, and my wife keeps on telling me that they probably put bull semen in there and the worst part is that she is probably right.

For the farting part, I swear to god, I managed to keep that relation fart free for such a long time, she told me that the only time she heard me farting was while I was sleeping few years ago, which I deny it happened.

To be honest, you and Dandays were a huge support in my decision to give it a try, you are an example (with food only!!!), I understand more what it takes now, and I am pretty sure we will try it again once we reach the other side of the world. GMO's are banned in France, so it will make life much easier, though the French love their "Charcuterie", which comprises of all the processed meat you can think of. And we have dashing organic veggies that I can't wait to revisit then years later.

Of course you're both on that Nathalie Portman level, it's a given!!

Haha… even when Dandays and I are disagreeing he’ll lighten the mood with a loud ole fart. It’s seriously non stop in my house. Haha… you’d think we had beans at every meal. He has gotten louder since going plant based, I think 🤔

I used to love charcuterie too or maybe I just liked saying it- it sounds so fancy, but now I’m all about the hummus and guac. I’ve always love chips and salsa but a little hummus and baguette doesn’t sound so bad. Dude, diet can be very fluid, constantly changing to meet different needs. I didn’t know France banned GMO’s … that’s great. I think we find out more about ourselves when we are constantly challenging our fundamental beliefs, such as what we eat. I’m sure you guys will have more fun getting it all figured out and just wait until your kids start coming home from school with completely different ideas of how to eat. Haha… life is great that way.

Good job on the sugar thing by the way. I used to love on monster energy drinks… yuk!! They definitely put some kind of piss in there…
