The Way I Live

For the record, I've been master cleansing since way before Beyoncé, Ashanti or Trina. Ask about me. I almost passed out on "the strip", that cobble stoned walkway linking the illustrious institutions of the Atlanta University Center. I toted a gallon mixture of cayenne, fresh lemon juice and maple syrup to class and even observed the dreaded salt water flushes. I never made 10 days but I put in work and detoxed significantly. I'm a longstanding vegetarian, sometimes vegan, and health nut by blood. My parents, both former athletes, faithfully patronized our local co-op. Soy milk has always been in my house although I didn't personally take a liking to it until the advent of Silk and I never savored the tooth-rooting sweetness of sugar cereal. So it was exciting to read about my health conscious kinfolk in the Washington Post a few days ago in a story spotlighting unlikely vegan football player Tony Gonzalez. One day, I plan to open a vegan eatery and maybe by then more folks like Gonzalez will populate my customer base. Click here to read the article.
