Changing My Diet
by David GarnerChanging my diet,
I find there's a trade-off in texture and taste,
almost like the translation of a word or a phrase into a foreign language. 03/12/2008 Posted on 03/12/2008

| Posted by Jeffrey Parren on 03/12/08 at 11:07 PM I appreciated this...language will always lack and even in the transition you found this the same, in comparison of healthy food vs the good stuff...~JPP |
| Posted by Nicole D Gregory on 03/12/08 at 11:31 PM Wow! You aren't kidding... Pro-biotic ->what country's language am I speaking? Wheatgrass ->what nationality came up with that? Exercise ->must be some culture I've never heard of... And yet, I still keep attempting to learn = insanity. ;) ~N |
| Posted by Gabriel Ricard on 03/13/08 at 02:51 AM Fascinating correlation. I really like where you went with this in such a short span of time. |
| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 03/13/08 at 04:31 AM I like this very much. |
| Posted by Laurie Blum on 03/13/08 at 05:37 PM I laughed when I read this and wonder exactly what kind of change you made in your diet. Nicely done. |
| Posted by Julie Adams on 03/14/08 at 06:45 PM kudos on the metaphor, so simple a thought and so true, one of those things you wish you thought of...as a new vegetarian, I concur entirely...a pleasure, peace to u, jewels |
| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 03/17/08 at 04:28 PM An original thought and the form seems expressive of this translation, the steps going down, alimentary...quite a memorable translation on your part, tasty morsel for the mind! |
