I have been reading this book called Crazy Sexy Diet. It’s the lifestyle that helped the author beat cancer and when I started reading it, it was pretty much preaching to the choir. I know the standard North American diet is unhealthy..
and yet…
I am still a slave to the gods of milk and sugar. Literally.
If milk is healthy for us, then why is 80% of the world’s population lactose intolerant?
I used to do ESL classes for immigrants here in Victoria. A man from Shanghai told me that just like we sometimes say that people from India smell like curry, we here in North America smell like CHEESE.
Gross.
And sugar… no one in their right minds thinks sugar is good for us. And yet, it is in EVERYTHING. Trust me. I’ve looked.
So, why is it so hard to let it go? I let go of meat 8 years ago and have never felt better. It is because meat does not have the addictive properties of milk and sugar.
So here it is… Shari Nakagawa – addict. Trying to break the addiction.
Wish me luck.
