"I can tell that this rabbit food stuff is already making you fussy."
-Starbucks co-worker, 6pm, Day 1.
Food timeline-
9am: oatmeal (plain), coffee (black)
12:30pm: Pink Lady apple, water
4:30pm: undercooked brown rice (working on that one...), raw carrots, raw cucumber, raw almonds, water.
8pm: Whole wheat pizza with tomatoes, roasted peppers (canned from a local farm's crop last year) and pesto, salad (topped with olive oil and balsamic vinegar), water. (My dear friend Shell homemade this pizza for girl's night and so graciously left the goat cheese- major rough point of the day- off of my slices)
11pm: raw almonds (at Jackson's, mind you, for my darling sister's first drink on her 21st birthday! Yes, I slid the cake by me without a second glance. This was not as rough a move as passing up the goat cheese.)
When I was checking out of the grocery store this morning, the extra-talkative attendant asked me what I was going to cook with all my produce. I told her my story and that I unfortunately don't cook- just kind planned to eat all this stuff raw. She told me that she was diabetic and the doctor gave her a huge list of stuff she can't eat. She promptly threw the list in the trash. "I figure i'm gonna die no matter what so why care about what goes in my body now?"
She brings up a good argument- what does it matter what we put in our bodies if it will all go to waste someday?
This reminds me that while I eat my "rabbit food" I needed to think. Hopefully by the end of this I will have a good answer for her.
You know the answer to your question: we're called upon to live responsibly. xo
