have you had changes in diet?

[Jade]

I'm sure I've shared my dietary changes plenty. I'll give this: I haven't been sick since I went vegan. It's been a year and a half so this is Iowa winter #2 without any cold/influenza symptoms whatsoever. Never do I get indigestion either, and that used to be a big ailment of mine. On the occasion I do eat something I'm "not supposed to" (like if someone gives me a pastry or when I would use some chai powder at work!) it alters my chemistry enough so that I smell. I don't use soap or anything much anymore which isn't a problem if I eat cleanly, and when I don't I get an obvious and obnoxious manifestation of an adulterant.

I have always believed Ra's words in that any conscious change in diet is a valuable way to respect yourself. I don't advocate for veganism unless someone shows interest first. It really is a commitment and it takes a good solid 6 months before one's tastebuds change to truly enjoy it.

Lately I've had a little bit of extra acne, I think it might have been all the extra caffeine I was consuming at work, or maybe the sugar. I have drank coffee since age 5 and quit once at around age 20 and had such a caffeine withdrawal migraine, it lasted for weeks. It's something I want to try again soon.
