On my way down to the beer fest on Sunday I received a message from my friend Simona. She wanted to know if I’d be interested in going diary and processed food free for 7 days in a challenge with her. She has recently become freaked out by the growing awareness of all that is done to food so that we can keep it on our shelves and in our pantries for a few months longer. And the general creepiness that is the dairy industry.
I’ve been mulling over my own issues with dairy lately…which has gone something like this, “Dairy makes me sick. I LOVE CHEESE. Sometimes I feel hungover after eating dairy. FEED ME ICE CREAM.” and so on.
And so even though when that guru-lady told me that dairy was the devil I rolled my eyes…I figure I’m due for a bit of a break from the dairy monkey on my back. I’m not so good with the all-or-nothing attitude. Usually when I tell myself I can’t eat something it will become all that I want to eat. But 7 days is not such a big deal.
I think the no-processed foods part will be a piece of cake (haha.no.not literally) b/c I already cook most of my meals at home. but we’ll see!
love and happy cows
