Food’s important. One way to find out just how much influence food has over one’s life is to go on a fast. A fast teaches many things, mainly about one’s self. One day in a bookshop I noticed a little yellow book, more like a booklet. It was called The Master Cleanser by Stanley Burroughs. I bought it, and the book stared at me from my bookcase for one year. Then this holiday 2006 Stanley Burroughs and his lemonade diet was mentioned, and my daughter-in-law, Alicia, with eyes wide open, decided then and there to do that cleanse. So, of course, not to be left in the dust, I seconded the decision, as in, me, too, -both of us.
To prepare for the lemonade diet I went over to Fairway at 2127 Broadway in Manhattan for supplies, and there I saw the biggest, juiciest organic lemons. I put thirty-two of them in three plastic bags. Then I got the best quality Grade B organic maple syrup, and organic cayenne pepper. Hopefully, I had enough of these three items to last the length of the cleanse. A woman nearby asked what I was going to do with all the lemons. I told her; she continued asking questions. Finally I had to take my book out and show it to her. She copied the name and author and thanked me with much gusto. I think she was the right person at the right place getting information that was important to her. www.fairwaymarket.com
And that was the beginning of a new understanding for Alicia and me. The new understanding being the influence food plays in one’s life. Alicia and I had very wonderful and different experiences while on this Master Cleanser lemonade diet for two weeks. However, after all was said and done, the one thing we’re both clear on is that we have great respect for food, and the enjoyment of eating.
Try it; you’ll see.
