One of the most interesting documentaries I’ve watched in the past decade is called Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. In it, the filmmakers make the case for juicing, claiming that since juice contains all of the nutrients in the actual fruit or vegetable, so drinking juice will put those nutrients directly into our bloodstream, much more quickly than it would if we were to spend time digesting a vegetable.

+++ title = “06” date = 2019 +++ The first time I stayed up all night it was New Years Eve, and I was eleven. I just wanted to see what would happen. It was the end of the rainbow. I was curious what would happen I stayed up all night. So hour by hour, I eventually got to the end. The sun rose and I hadn’t missed anything. The end of the rainbow is also useful when trying to lose weight.
