Cooked Sprouted Grain Bread---gateway drug

[Amberly]

The other day, just to prove to myself that I'm not a fanatic, I had a slice of sproued grain bread. I didn't really want it much, but for a couple of days I had been trying to persuade myself to eat something not raw, but just couldn't. I know that sounds crazy, but I felt that I needed to prove to myself that I was making a choice rather than following some rule that I had set for myself.

So I had a raw sandwhich, but on Ezekiel bread. Mistake. Is is a gateway drug. The bread led to ketchup and more bread and more ketchup, and then I found myself pinching off pieces of macaroni from the fridge.

I didn't actually get a plate of it, because then I wouldn't be able to manipulate myself into thinking that I hadn't really done any harm. I did though. I felt huge and sluggish. And it actually tasted pretty good.

Oh! And I had a piece of regular wheat bread that I usually love, and it was so awful and chewy and tasteless. I get sick thinking about it, but I'll want some of the sprouted grain tonight.

Beware the gateway drugs!!!

I can relate to that. When I first went raw, the one thing I allowed myself was ezekial sprouted grain bread. After about 2 weeks on all raw, I could no longer eat it. Every piece I tried tasted like mold. But it did open a doorway for me also, leading me to think just a little of this or a taste of that.

I did try it again a couple of months later and again it tasted like I was eating mold. That was enough for me to know, something isnt right about it, for me. ha!

The other day, just to prove to myself that I'm not a fanatic . . . I know that sounds crazy, but I felt that I needed to prove to myself that I was making a choice rather than following some rule that I had set for myself.First, I don't think that being a fanatic is a bad thing -- the history of the word is simply being a "fan" of something, so you can be a fan of raw food.

Also, isn't it a choice in that you've set a rule for yourself?

My gateway drug is chicken.
