Basically, this blog is going to be about my journey to raw foods land, and my running habits.  That latter part may not be impressive at first, given that I’m recovering from another an injury.  I may end up not going totally raw as well, but I am quite certain that I will at least remain high-raw and a vegetarian if the raw vegan approach doesn’t work for me.

I feel that I should clarify from the beginning that I have absolutely no moral concerns about the killing and eating of animals.  I am a science major, and while I haven’t graduated, I am far enough in the program to know that animals do not have feelings.  They just don’t.  I hope that I don’t offend anyone by saying this upfront.  If you feel that animals have a right to not be eaten, I will not judge you for that.  We all end up in the same herbivorous place in the end anyway.  I choose not to eat animals for two main reasons:  I feel that commerical meat production is a horribly wasteful industry and a poor use of our resources, and I have some digestive issues that are largely relived by eating plants rather than animals.  I hope that the latter will be further ameliorated by increased consumption of raw foods.

Starting tomorrow, I will post my meals and snacks throughout the day and my daily workout in one big post at the end of the day with pictures and what will undeniably be an excessive amount of commentary as a side dish.  I hope that it is enjoyable to read, and that I enjoy blogging.  However, I alluded on the “backstory” page to issues with food.  Do not expect me to elaborate on these at all, except to say that I do not need any commentary containing any opions that resemble the following: “you don’t eat enough,” “why do you restrict your options so much,” “you have an eating disorder,” you should eat more _____,” “I can’t believe you ate all that,” etc.  If that’s all you have to say please don’t say anything, and keep in mind that I may not photograph and post every bite that goes in my mouth.  That would just feel like overexposure, and it would be weird in the college cafeteria if I whipped out my camera and tried to make my lunch photogenic.

I’m sure this was way too spastic, so I’ll try and make it  better tomorrow, but be warned– I have a rather spastic brain.
