LindaLee Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 You see them in the sausage aisle saying, "Are you kidding me? Seriously? Who puts sugar in that?" and stamping their foot like a two-year old. They have a freezer FULL of Applegate organic hot dogs. Every single day, they're hard boiling eggs. They go into ecstasy over a little coconut butter. They have ten kinds of tea in their cabinet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 This is an awesome thread! -- they know what carageen, soy lecithin, kohlrabi, and chard are -- they don't complain about feeling bloated or lethargic -- they are really disappointed when spaghetti squash is out of season and thrilled when strawberries come into season -- they find themself standing in front of the refrigerator saying "man I wish I had a cauliflower!" -- an egg is warming on their counter because they are going to make mayo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhmomi Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 OMG. I am so scared to go look in my freezer. This could really ruin things for me for a while.... FYI - I have shrimp from TJ's that is compliant. Of course I don't know that the additive is specifically non-compliant, it just sounded gross and unnecessary so I took a pass. You know someone is doing a Whole30 when... ...they feel guilty for eating a Larabar because it's "processed". ...they know not to buy roasted cashews at TJ's because they contain rice bran oil.

befabdaily Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Their freezer is full of picked-clean chicken carcasses waiting to be made into bone broth.

jhmomi Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 ... they are excited about the cinnamon apple tidbits they made as a school snack for their kids in their dehydrator. (From "Eat Like a Dinosaur" - just chopped apple tossed with cinnamon and dried). Excited enough to immediately order an apple peeler/spiral slicer/corer from Amazon! (I am limiting my consumption to a few pieces at a time, never a big bowl, but they are a yummy, healthy treat.) ... they are shocked to discover that the three dozen eggs they just bought a week ago are already gone.

Delaine Ross Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Thank you for this! They have this conversation with the TJ's cashier (and this was yesterday) Me: do you have Larabars? Cashier: yes, many kinds. Do you want me to hold your place in line while you run over? Me: No. Thank you but I can't have them right now. Cashier: but they're just fruit and nuts Me: I know, but I have an unhealthy psychological relationship with them. They feel like dessert.
