You rule, anarchir! Great blog also.
Thank you very much - nothing in the world feels better than to be understood. Of course this thread is a mess of injected discussions about dumpster diving and eating bugs, etc, but thus is the nature of online forums. My "trolling" is a part of a brainstorming process, which I hope will eventually evolve from forums to a site once my ideas solidify. (AlexLibman.com hasn't been up in like a decade.)
I've stuck to this diet about 95% (5% being tea and occasional cigs) to 100% from October to June. For some reason black tea turned out to be the most addictive substance in my universe - I still drink tons of it every day. I occasionally smoked a pack of cigarettes just out of the blue, like one pack every couple of months, but now I've quit for good - but I can't quit tea.
From around June, I've stick to it about 90%. I found this diet easier to stick to at wintertime, when large portions of hearty pea soup or a spicy bean stew always satisfy, but by late spring I was eating less legumes and more carb junk (i.e. fruits), and I felt I wasn't getting enough protein, so I've decided to include a little "unlicensed" fish. (Protein percentages are probably less important than I make them out to be, so my main rational excuse was that my eyes became more sensitive to light, so I wanted to make sure it wasn't due to absence of a natural animal-based vitamin like D or B12 - seems like it wasn't.) Yup, I've wrestled those "sea kittens" out of a local "public" lake all by myself, and the only "license" I have is a suspended driver's license from New Jersey (for which they wanted a zillion dollar fine the last time they knew where I lived).
So now I'm getting ready to go for 100% again, having redefined the rules to allow tea. Anything can be grown in greenhouses, obviously. Tea isn't the most productive use of greenhouse space in terms of nutrition (its antioxidant properties are mostly hype compared to leafy green veggies), and I thought it was sexy to be able to say "I only drink water", but I just can't make that work. Herbal teas with lemon also don't work - I needs my black tea. I guess it's the caffeine.
