MFP Banner Ad
Well, that was kind of strange. I am not sure what the criteria is for banner ads on MFP, but the one I just saw when I logged in was $1 off an Oreo Cookie Jar Blizzard at Dairy Queen. For those that may be unaware, those are not good for your diet. ;)

Is there anyone out there like me?
I don't think my body properly digests meat. If I eat it, I get a pain on the inside of my right hip and I get constipated for days. It's strange to me that the pain is so localized. It's like I'm missing some kind of enzyme to digest the meat and it gets stuck there. I know it's from eating meat because when I remove it…

Okra?? I went to the farmer's market the other day and was buying several things from an organic farmer.

The effects of eating crap
I've only been at this for a few days, but I've already discovered what happens when I go from eating fresh food to processed crap, and eating until I'm stuffed, etc. I used to always be sluggish and tired and cranky.
