Strange Eating Habits

I saw this programme on TV the other day, I think it was last Friday.

It was on Channel 4 and it came after the news so it was one of those new producery things.

It was about people who ate only raw food, nothing was cooked at all.

One woman even drank her own piss, it was disgusting, the body must get rid of it for a reason, why are you taking it back in again? Water doesn't cost a lot! Then she had a filtration system which filtered her water (obviously) but it was a mammoth of a thing, I've got a water filter and it's a small jug dealy. She was complaining about London tap water having far too much coke in it, well I'd say that's a good thing, forget paying for it, just take some water.

There were a few people on this programme but I only remember three/four.

One was the woman mentioned above, another was a couple, one was a single mum with three kids.

The funny thing was how patronising the man was, he was acting as if he had been mother nature's son since he was born but he only started eating raw stuff a year or so ago. Him and his wife invited people over to show them how to start eating good food and the people were having none of it. The funny thing is, the dude said we eat no warm food but he was warming up a lasagne on some heater thing, isn't that a bit hypocritical? He was going on about saying how warming food up kills the goodness in it and a dinner guest he had raised the point that people had eaten stodge and lived up to 80 or above and he got a bit annoyed. I don't like that, if you want to live your life that way then fine, but don't look down on those of us who aren't weirdos (hah!).

The woman with the coke water had some device attached to her body that took all the bad vibes out of her, how stupid, you can't get something like that, she had been truly brainwashed. Also, she was so keen on being very very very healthy but she went bike riding in London without something covering her mouth, does she know how many pollutants there are in the London air? Maybe she is too busy attending her "Raw food is God" seminars to realise that there are other evils in the world.

The woman who had the two kids was a bit strange too but she was the most sensible out of them all, she didn't let her kids have warm food or too many fruits, fruits were their treat but she DID have a microwave in her house even though she said she had been eating raw foods for 15 years.

The Post Xmas and New Year Slump

I never understood until today why this time of the year is so depressing.

Well I say today, I mean last Friday. I went to stay at my cousin's house for the first week of the new year and only when we were driving back home did we realise how bleak and grey January really was. I think it is one of the worst times to be alone, I was surrounded by people I loved on that journey home and even I felt a twinge of depression.

It's funny and equally sad how quickly people go back into normal mode after Christmas, two weeks ago it was Christmas Eve and there was definitely something festive and cheery in the atmos, now two weeks later everyone is back to normal.


It took me 23 years to realise why this time of year is so depressing, the "excitement" of Christmas (which for adults means stuffing your face and getting pissed as a fart) has well and truly gone and we are left with nothing to look forward to where the whole country can bunk off collectively. Sure you get birthdays and parties but it feels different because you can't share your antics with people. It sounds strange but even people on the tube are nicer around Xmas time and I am sure that pushing and shoving is down by about 40%.


I'm back at work today and I feel so depressed man, even though it is kinda sunny outside (it is still freezing mind) and the husband isn't too far away either. I'm just thinking, if I feel this depressed, how must the children feel? But then when I was a kid I never ever got a January slump, we were back to school showing off our new toys that we got for Xmas.


I feel depressed even though my life is peachy by standards, I have the sexiest husband in the world, I have a decent job, I have no Xmas debt and things are looking up on the promotion front but still I feel a twinge of sadness (it's probably because I know I can't bunk off work early and use Xmas shopping as an excuse).


Is this sense of depression what the shepherds envisioned when they saw the stars in the sky?


Man, roll on summer! Though it seems like it was only here a few months ago, which it was..I sometimes wish that there were more seasons in the year.
