Dry January

Bananatropics26

So what's all this dry January stuff about? Why is everyone obsessed with being perfect and trying to achieve some kind of ever lasting human life. We all get old. I never was a fan of the puritan culture in some areas of this country. Like I'm gonna pop the balloon right now by saying this --> nobody and I mean nobody is pure or perfect. Just don't get this whole religion these days of being a good little citizen and doing what your told. Why does it feel like sometimes it's like a massive herd of annoying puritans trying to climb up my behind and force what they think is right on to me. Nah. I am an adult not a child. Don't get me wrong people will judge you for not being sterile like them. Some of these puritans are so superficially squeaky clean that they actually smell like a hospital. That sterile horrible smell of chemicals what a life?

  • Don't forget veganuary too where we're encouraged to become vegan for a month, I'm veggie all year, but if it helps to get some people eating less meat then its a good thing healthwise and for the planet.

    If someone starts coming across as all "holier than thou", then either ignore them, say 'Yes dear you can think that if it makes you happy' or wind them up, the choice is yours, you don't have to give them the power of making you feel bad.

    I’m not vegetarian, but like many people I try to limit animal produce in my diet.

    I may be unusual as a vegetarian, but I don't actually have a problem with people who eat meat.

    Apart from th difficulties of finding somewhere I can eat, I suffer from being a good cook and resent paying megabucks for something I could of easily cooked myself or even worse bought for 99p from iceland and heated up myself.

    I don’t eat meat but I do eat fish. I became a (largely) vegetarian because of the cruelty to animals aspect (as a child I really loved meals with meat). However I don’t judge people for eating meat - I think we evolved to have a mixed diet that included meat - it’s entirely natural for humans to eat meat. Both my children eat meat and I have no problem with that. It really is an issue of personal choice and freedom.

    I struggle to eat chips and don't like them. I prefer my own cooking to eating out generally, although having not eaten out for 5 years I did a few times last year to try and get out.

    I'm not sure MSG agrees with me either.

    I haven't had a KFC in about 40 years. I don't like greasy food.

    I don't like KFC, in fact I don't like most of those fast foods, I'm not a fan of burgers either, the best thing abot a maccyd's is the gherkin. I don't like chips or fries either. 

    I'm never sure if KFC have monosodiumglutinate in them, I'm really allergic to that.

    We don't have much choice of food places round here anyway and most of the restaurants cater for the lowest common denominator, so it's steak and chips, fish and chips and a carvery on a sunday. I've not eaten out or had a takeaway for years.
