Off the Binge

Eating more Mexican food than most of Texas is not something one should be proud of. If all the wisdom of man is mere foolishness, all the tacos you can eat are mere stomachache. Along the way I’ve rediscovered herbal tea, that proverbial panacea in a land of coffee and Coca-Cola. Fresh off the binge I love pure water and pumping iron, though what’s heavy isn’t just metal or military presses. Try as I might to be beholden to a higher commander. Off the binge, now is a time that goals and dreams be elevated as never before. I begin to power forward from petit fours.

Hello Stephen ... it appears our diet these days is heavily influenced by salt, fat, and sugar. Stomach ache also hits me after eating Mexican - thanks Stephen - Lindsay
