Next week starts a whole new diet.
The words fill up my head, so full that one day they will burst forth and fly away like birds into the sunset.

Always over the fads.
Yesterday, I discovered that the paleo movement has become almost as crazy restrictive as the vegan movement. So I have decided to stop toying with my ideas of a paleo diet and stick with my true omnivore but mostly vegetarian deal: I can eat any non-processed food that I want to eat, but at least 85% is going to be plant based. While doing this, I am still going to cut back on most grain consumption. I will personally allow quinoa, brown rice and buckwheat to remain as a variety option, but they won't be staples in my personal diet. Meat will make an occasional appearance if I can find locally raised or wild caught specimens. The same stipulation goes for eggs, honey and goat dairy. This does not mean I will not experiment with vegan options or even paleo options, because I love to experiment. But you can forget about me giving up nuts or beans. It took me 22 years to develop a taste for nuts and beans, I'll be damned if a little phytic acid will deter me from eating them from time to time.
