I saw a young woman say grace over her lunch today at school. Afterwards she attacked her sandwich with vigor

Hmmm...food issues...

If you are interested, you can look at this:

I don't think I could handle the raw foodist route. But have read a lot about it.

Yeah the cleanse that you're doing does interest me! But my hope would be to get the system without having to be a rep. Is that possible? Can you just buy the product? How much does it cost.

[goldenfyre]

Yes, absolutely. I just bought my initial stuff retail priced. Just go to that site. You don't have to sign on to be a rep or anything. You just pay more. If you sign as a rep you buy it wholesale.

The biggest issue is kinda the cost. Intro package for the 9 day cleanse is about $140, I think?

But feel free to check it out, I have more info on it too if you want more than whats on the website...

[eliciam]

Yeah that is a bit pricey, but worth it if it makes you feel good. I'll look to the site and if I'm seriously considering buying it I'll chat you up some more. Thanks for the info!

Have you tried soy lattes?

You probably could have predicted that I would have asked you that....

[eliciam]

Yes! I am actually quite a fan of the "Roy" which is a latte with half soy, half rice milk. The combination of the two is really creamy and good but overall is higher in calories, carbs and fat than nonfat milk.

I am scared of those toilets too.

When I see people praying in public before a meal I can't stop staring. It just amazes me.

[eliciam]

Outdoor toilets are breeding grounds for nastiness.

That was the first time I've seen outdoor prayer in quite a while. I was beginning to think that we had no Christians left in Seattle.

I see an outdoor prayer about once a month as I walk by Il Bistro on the way to the theater. Those outdoor tables seem to attract them.

Itadakimasu

[cukebrian]

My Japanese grandparents say itadakimasu before eating, and they make prayer hands and bow their heads a bit when they do. And I was taught that translated literally, it means "I will take it to my head," in other words, I will make good use of this food and not squander it. Because they're Buddhist, I always thought this was a Buddhist thing.

But then before her trip to Japan, dibble_dabble asked me about "that phrase you say before you eat," and I guess that while it may have religious roots, I believe it's now a basically secular saying.
