It’s almost as if they feel personally threatened by my dietary choices. It’s led to some interesting discussions." For friends who go under a cleanse or diet, I usually ask: "Up to when are you doing this?" Because my main concern is what we're going to eat when we hang out, and when we'll be able to dine out again and not have to think about all the dietary restrictions. There, I said it! I cook and eat vegetarian/vegan/raw fares at home, but I'm open to anything when I'm out with friends or family. The "threat" for me, personally, was the social aspect of it. Did you miss the wine or alcohol in your diet and cooking? I assume it was not allowed in the program. “I’ve also been fascinated by how freaked out some people are when I tell them what I’m doing.
