I used to consume the organ pills and powdered collagen daily, but over the last 2 years have moved away from both. It's been a natural process that started when I skipped supplements for a few weeks during a time of moving/upheaval and realizing that I felt no different (and the smell/taste after taking a break was repulsive). I knew the process had to be questionable at best, but seeing it laid out makes my stomach turn. I have a partial cow from a local farm coming next month (including ALL the bones, fat, organs, tongue, etc) and couldn't be more excited. Someday I hope to raise my own meat animals...one day!

I LOVE the old oil paintings that accompany your essays, by the way. The colors are so rich and the people's faces so dynamic and so much is happening in each one. Love it.

I love the way that you used your senses to guide you there, Molly. It really speaks to how we can all attune ourselves to our body's feedback. I really enjoy these old paintings, too. It's like a window into a time long gone. It makes me feel more human somehow. I'm glad you like them, too.
