The FastDay Forum

22 June is the shortest day of the year,DownUnder, according to some, and the longest UpThere. Although I still favour my dear, departed Gran's claim to 21 June being SDOTY.
Fasting all day today. It's wet in Sydney. I have enjoyed the various POV's in the Vegan/vego fora and in the Paleo/Med debates. I am a continuing Flexitarian with a bias towards Vegitoes. My family includes a PosterGirl Vegan daughter in law. A veggie granddaughter and friends with all sorts of preferences and intolerances. I had iron deficiency as a younger woman. Then developed lactose intolerance after a stomach bug. So, I don't know what best diet there could be, I just hate food wastage and animal cruelty. I know that slice of carrot cake which slipped by my lips and probably adhered to my hips was "healthy" in way: it was part of a wonderful celebratory life with others. Coffee's ready. Ciaou and good luck on your fast today.

Hi--happy 22nd June! I'm pretty flexible myself--just try to eat clean. Lots of veggies and some fish and chicken, a little olive oil and dairy and cheese, very little red meat and 3 to 4 servings of fruit daily along with a bit of whole grains. A little carrot cake must be a good thing, for sure.
