Getting Bloggy With It

It's been 76 days since my last post in this blog, which means halted this eating experiment for about 10 weeks or so, setting my time table for finishing back aways. However, my disinclination to finish part one coupled with my desire to move onto part two should set me ahead a few of those weeks. Let me explain.

I stopped in April at Week 13. The next few weeks reiterated more of the same: eat foods you can picture in their raw state (14), get out of the supermarket (15), buy snacks at the farmer's market (16), eat foods that have been cooked by humans (17,do zombies still count as human even though they're in a post-humanoid state?), don't eat food made by people wearing protective gear (17), came from a plant eat made in a plant don't eat (18), it ain't food if you got it in a drive through (19), can't be called the same thing in multiple languages (20). The problem is I got the point loud and clear in the first 13 weeks.

And the point made many subtle changes in my diet. I shop at the farmer's market more. I eat drive through far less although on occasion I succumb when traveling, and I am only drinking diet Cokes on occasion when I need some caffeine. No more non-dairy creamer or soy milk creamer. I take my food to lunch everyday even when lunch is being provided. Etc, etc and on and on.

Facing blogger burn out for a multitude of reasons on my other and main blog over the last few months didn't help me stick to this project when I was at a point in Food Rules that felt as though Pollan were beating me over the head with sticks taken from his soap box.  I am ready to start again, skipping forward to Part II, Week 22: What Type of Food Should I Eat? (Mostly Plants).

And so it continues.
