I am writing this as 12:08am the cusp of my third day living here and I wanted to take the time to reflect before I go to bed.

I am so happy in my new home, so grateful for what I found and excited for the emotional, mental and even physical growth sure to come from it. My friend Ryan and I are sharing a room and I am finding this to be comforting. My room is no longer my private dwelling place for me to focus inward on myself and my thoughts, it is only a place of sleep, storage and security now. I feel more relaxed and in some ways happy having another breathing individual nearby, perhaps that satisfies from primal urge not to sleep alone. I know I’ll spend more time actively involving myself with people now and as a result my dismal social skills should improve, they being one of my greatest weaknesses and perhaps the most important strength to have in this world.

Christian, the man who owns the facility, and his family are wonderful company and share with me a appreciation for health and education. Their interest in my cooking and own ability have made me very nervous, as I have only been cooking for less than 9 months, and  it has almost always been alone and for myself. I had no one to learn to cook from either it was simply something I started to do myself, and I am still constantly trying new things but now I am nevious and have been making rookie mistakes as I have sitting in the back of my head the thought that others are going to be eating my food and I fret over these experiments of mine and my reputation hanging on their results.

I am going to start looking at how they cook and try my best to learn from them as I spend my own money on private experiments, pressure free. I’ll cook for them things I have mastered and need not worry about later.

The food here is amazing by the way, healthy, tasty and beyond what I’m used to cooking myself. Tomorrow we are going to create a general menu plan for the month and I must do some research ahead of time and cross check that against what I think about what will make a nutritious and balanced meal plan so I can help.

On that matter I am trying to gently present evidence to them that grains are best avoided and that saturated fat is very healthy.  Although the evidence to support both of these truths are tremendously strong, the popular belief for many many years is the long disproven lipid hypothesis that saturated fat is bad for you and the grain industry’s constant labeling that eating oatmeal, Cheerios and the like MAY reduce heart problems as well as the USDA’s ancient and ridiculous food triangle   has brought people to become convinced that processed seeds are the staple of any healthy diet, disregard less of how toxic they are to us uncooked and how recently we started eating them in the human lifespan and how they fly in the face of evolution.

I used to be totally fine with grains but after cutting them out of my diet for a few weeks on the encouragement of my cross-fitness gym I found myself feeling fantastic and many problems I associated with being human completely, me suddenly realizing these all problems all to clearly once they stopped and even more so when I started to eat grains again. As such I feel a strong desire to spread the word about grains and help anyone I can know more about this.
