Reboot!!!!!!

Here we go again.
So the Vegan experiment was a bust.  Or was it?
We call our little escapades into the dietary realm experiments because we want to learn something.  Either about the diet or about ourselves, often both.
And I suggest that we learned a good deal last time.  We learned why vegans are mean and we learned that you can go for days and weeks without any animal proteins with no ill effects.  That's good to know.
Why?
Well, lets see what the typical responses were when people were told we were eating vegan/vegetarian:

1. "Why?"   
2. "You guys are stupid."  
3. "I don't think I could do that."

Ignoring the two most popular responses, let's analyze #3.  Why can't people do that?  Are you going to shrivel up and die?  Obviously that didn't happen.  I think it's fear.  Fear of the new, the unknown.  You have to change just about everything when you drop animal products from the diet.  And that means leaving some really yummy food behind, mostly your favorite comfort foods.  And comfort foods are comforting.  Without them what would happen?  (You get skinnier and healthier mostly)  

Thus we are restarting our Jack and Jill blog.  

Well, despite such encouragement as: "Why?" and "You guys are stupid."  I found parts of it fun.  

And I want to keep the food experiments and fact finding up.  

So why not start a whole new blog?  A third one?  Nope, redundantly redundant.  

We are rebooting this blog with a continuing mission to be like our physical culture heroes.  

Part of that will be open scientific experimentation on ourselves with different dietary protocols, where we suffer and report back to you.  

Jack Lalanne did alot of that as a young man, most famously the cow's blood diet.  He'd drink a quart of pure cows blood every day trying to be bigger and stronger.  He did this for weeks' going down to the butcher's shop everyday to drink it fresh.  Until the morning he choked on a giant clot.  That pretty much ended that lil experiment.  

Please trust that there is no way Denise is going to let me drink cow's blood.  

And if she did, we would definitely video it.  

But this is about getting healthy, not trying to get some horrible disease in an equally horrible fashion.  

So stay tuned, we do have some bloodless videos we will be posting shortly.  

As always, your comments are welcome.  

Excelsior!
