Day 2 :)

I feel a little clogged up today, sort of tired. The detox isn't as bad as I thought it would be, but maybe there's more to come, that would be my luck haha.

I added a "followers" widget, I didn't even realize that there wasn't one already on my page. Now you can all follow me on Blogger :)

I really enjoyed the comments on my last post. I'm not hating on meat eaters, hell, I love meat, but I think there should be some moderation when it comes to eating it. I love documentaries, and I saw one a while back that had footage from a factory farm that made me want to cry. Tiny baby chickens stuffed on a conveyor belt, being picked up one by one, having their beaks trimmed without pain killers, and being thrown back onto the line. Females chicks grow up to be pumped full of hormones to make them lay an unnatural amount of eggs, and males shipped off to become food for other animals, because factory farms see them as "useless".

It's all just really sad. Today's society doesn't value the lives of farm animals (or any other animals, for that matter). There is no regulations on farm animals when it comes to the Animal Rights Bill. They are slaughtered in the cheapest way possible, kept in disgusting conditions. Even the "free range" conditions are bullshit. They slap stickers on the packages to make people believe that what they are buying is better. "Organic" just means that they haven't had contact with any chemicals, not that they lived their lives happy, with lots of good food and sunshine.

Of course, these days, big corporations will step on anyone they have to just to turn a profit. My point with all if this though, is that if everyone ate meat just a couple of nights a week, the demand for it would go down, and maybe we could save the lives of thousands (or more) farm animals.

Pineapple Orange juice for breakfast this morning. I can not begin to explain how heavenly it is. After the bitter taste of Mean Green, it's better than chocolate.  I'm learning to appreciate the taste and benefit of natural foods. I feel so....clean...and it's only been 2 days! Like I said, though, I had been replacing coffee and sweets with fruit juice for about  a week or so before my fast started.

The boyfriend is getting into the action, too. He won't juice fast, no way, no how, but he has embraced juicing and is loving trying all of the different combinations the produce section has to offer! This has been such a amazing opportunity for us to bond over getting healthy together. He isn't overweight by any means, but he works a very laborious job, so a big glass of fruit juice for breakfast in the morning gives him lots of energy :)

Well, I've been typing for a while now, and it's probably time I get off my lazy butt and do some dishes lol. I want to go get my horrendous eyebrows waxed today, and I have homework to get turned in before class tonight. I'll be back later :)

Much love, and happy juicing :)
