hypothetical diet

• No meat unless I’m a guest in someone’s home or under some sort of culinary travel-duress
• No alcohol unless I am in love
• [Coffee restrictions will require their own post; it's too complex to get into now]
• No marijuana except as an aphrodisiac or if a critic I respect writes convincingly that a film or book or band can only or best be appreciated after smoking a small (or large) amt of good marijuana
• no tobacco unless it’s a part of an ethnographic immersion of some kind
• no hard drugs unless I need to do them just this once in order to get a really awesome job (movie deal, Zeus’s amanuensis, etc)
• no processed foods unless I am hungover or driving for more than ninety minutes
