In the grocery store today, cruising through the baked goods aisle because The Boyfriend still eats bread. While I'm waiting for him to pick one, I see a loaf that is trying its best to look healthy. On the front, it says how it's better because, with added fiber and protein, it's going to keep you feeling full longer.

Added protein? In a loaf of bread?

I got a sneaking suspicion and checked the ingredients. Yep, added gluten. So I guess technically "added protein", but c'mon...

Doing my shop today, by the deli section there's a shelf with a banner "fundraising for the hospitals" and below was chips and Pepsi and nothing else

then I walked past a girl who looked about 4 sitting in a trolley and she was trying to devour a toffee apple.



And at the cash register, the family behind me talking about how "there's confectionery in every aisle, trying to make us buy that stuff huh!?" in which they had brought like 5 apple pies, lots of bread, etc.



But the worst was yesterday, trying to convince someone that sugar has only been in our diets for the three hundred years or so. Then he said, "The ancient Egyptians used honey!"
I gave up. I'm not going to bother trying to argue.

Why add the protein when you can just eat it. Just goes to show even the big food companies know what they are peddling is shite!

Because if there's anything people need more of, it's gluten.

Ughhhh. I just had a miserable headache/nausea/extreme fatigue experience yesterday from drinking 12oz of beer, just because of the gluten. (I thought it would be okay -- it wasn't) The idea of high-gluten bread terrifies me.

Just a little gross.....

I went to the bathroom in walmart. From the toilet stall I hear the sounds of gastric distress. In a loud sick groaning voice the man says "Oh chalupa" "OHHHHHHH BURRITO!"

Saw this posted by my former sensei who has been brainwashed/errr...convinced by his wife that vegetarian is the way to be.

My response?
I couldn't resist (sorry Sensei !)
Umm...the ox has two stomachs... and....the grass eats what...fertilizer (manure???)
I think I'll wait til the ox processes the grass for me =)

"CBS This Morning" had Dr William Davis on today, discussing Wheat Belly and how crappy wheat is for you.

The segment ended, The Boyfriend turned to me and said "He sounds like you".

Yep.

A colleague of mine didn't know what a cucumber was....! I still can't get over that one!

A co-worker of mine thought that whipped cream was in the frozen food department and came in a "whipped topping" container. I told her to buy whipping cream and whip it for real whipped cream. Crickets.

Part of the reason I hate eating out now is because I know there's nothing good I can exchange my grain/potato side for. Hooray, freezer-burned vegetables that don't taste like actual vegetables, or a fruit cup that will knock me out of ketosis. For a while I started asking for a fried egg on the side, but I can taste the rancid oil they fried it in.. And the eggs themselves taste like crap compared to the farm eggs I'm used to. So basically the only thing I want to eat at restaurants is straight-up meat. And I can eat higher-quality, cheaper, and tastier meat at home. And I can eat it with real grassfed butter, as opposed to butter-flavored industrial oil. And eggs and vegetables that actually taste like eggs and vegetables.

You need to go somewhere with decent restaurants.
