A Standard American Diet “S.A.D.” coworker, out of the blue, decided to try a raw fruit and plant-based diet modeled after mine for the next few weeks just to see how he feels. I could not believe it when he told me!! This is why I eat with my coworkers (even when their food saddens […]
Day 1,048
I had to brake suddenly in traffic this morning and my perfectly ripe peaches went flying and squished against the walls of the mini cooler. My heartbreaking screams of despair while sitting in traffic, “Nooooooo!!!!!! Not my peaches!!!!!!!” Folks around me might have thought I had an accident and hurt myself or my car. I […]
Day 1,042
On this day one year ago today, I only ate 459 calories. Yikes, right? I’ve been unintentionally hitting somewhere between 700-1700 calories in this last week. I’m now noticing a pattern. My calorie intake has been dropping steadily even though I don’t feel like I’ve been eating less food. I’m feeling full and satisfied, sometimes […]

Even as a white woman raised by unconscious racists, I do not understand or agree with white supremacy. I do not support racism, sexism, or speciesism. I do not understand why people are afraid of and violent or controlling towards other beings with different skin color, sex parts, genetics, or even ideas. I don’t understand […]
Day 1,038
River dog had to go back to the animal ER on Friday night, as her snake-bitten ear from last week developed an infection. It was gross and scary looking. They were very glad we brought her in when we did. Needless to say, I didn’t sleep that night… again. Saturday, I was essentially useless. Sunday, […]
Day 1,032
I’m feeling awful today. On Saturday, our dog got bit by a snake and she’s been in the ER since then, slowly recovering, but not without a few extra and costly complications. We visit her daily, and she’s going to be fine with hopefully no permanent damage. It’s just been rough. We’ve been stressed about […]
A Toddler and a Cupcake.
Last night was Date Night at Whole Foods with my love. We sat down in the eating area with our vegan and raw fruitarian meals, when a couple with their toddler sat down next to us. Both adults sat on one side of the table and they placed the toddler on the other side with […]
In response to “Do all meat eaters deserve to die?”
I believe that the majority of people are vegans at heart and don’t desire to harm animals even if they were raised to do so (like me). I believe many of my meat-eating friends are future vegans, because they love animals. I believe that when presented with the truth and after waking up from the […]
Day 1,027
Coworkers came by and poked my Thai bananas earlier. So I decided to show and tell about my food line-up for the day. Papaya, ataulfo mangoes, Thai bananas, and emergency black grapes. I showed them what ripe feels and looks like. Pretty cool, right, Coworkers? Yep, pretty cool. Today I tried using a machine in […]
