1. I need to stop using the word “vegan.” It freaks people out. Over the next few weeks I’m going to be testing out: “nutritarian,” “nutrient dense,” and “no fun,” as in, “So what’s this diet you’re on?” “Oh, it’s the no fun plan.” and “Grow up and get on the no fun plan! Stop eating candy and cookies like a little baby!”
2.I don’t really like the word “diet.” It carries too much baggage. I’m going with “eating plan,” or “health plan.”

4. After a hectic morning we got home around noon and I was itching to get up to campus and get some work done. I was pounding mango, watermelon, cauliflower, handfuls of blueberries, hummus, carrots, peach, etc., not even sitting down, just standing at the cutting board with a knife, slashing open fruits and tearing apart vegetables with my bear hands, putting it down like I was about to go fight a war, and suddenly the thought entered my mind, “This is what it’s like to be a gorilla.” I don’t know if that’s accurate, and I apologize to any offended gorillas out there, but seriously what I was doing was not human.

I’m a sorta flexitarian vegan myself sometimes.

The vitamix is awesome. Good to juice those baby’s up and then use the pulp in some yummy vegan muffins (an oxymoron). I think you are starting to do the gorilla thing. But, don’t gorillas spend a lot of time scratching themselves? Then again…
Actually, our admin guy who set this all up is totally rad and awesome. He deserves a raise.
“Grow up and get on the no fun plan! Stop eating candy and cookies like a little baby!”- Have a hard time visualizing John Wayne as a vegan.

What’s up with the first comment being positioned out of place when the post ends with an embedded picture? Who built your site an amateur?
And yes, my avatar gives me nightmares!
Remember when you did the three day apple juice cleanse? That was awesome. Don’t forget to lube your ducts with a few table spoons of olive oil.
It’s cool to see you guys making these healthy choices. Good Luck!
I always say that I eat like a seven year old with no parents! Your comments were hilarious. I love that you guys began this new health wave today. We are taking small steps and giving up sugar for the month.
Grow up! and get on the No Fun plan! Already.
