Hey, I'm Jack. You don't know me. Or, well, you probably don't.
About a week ago I was sitting at my table eating my packed-out lunch of whole wheat pasta, lean chicken, and brussels sprouts when I got to thinking... my health is not improving as much as I wish it was. I gave up veganism for a grain-free way of life years ago, had large gains in my health, then I went back and poof a lot of the damage is coming back.
I'd left the primal/paleo/grain-free way of eating for a variety of reasons, mostly social ones but with a large amount of skepticism. And you know what? I'm still skeptical of many parts of it, and I'm still annoyed with the social climate of that community... but I also have to concede that going back to grain is not doing my body good.
So I started Ochre and Arrows. This is my personal blog that is about personal reflection and, admittedly, maybe airing some grievances. Maybe you get something out of it, maybe you don't.
But since you don't know me, or probably don't, or knew me but don't remember me, some background:
My name is Jack.
I am a 27 year old college student.
I am a rather disgruntled ex-vegan of three years, ex-vegetarian of seven.
I am transsexual. I wouldn't make this public everywhere, but it's actually really important to this blog as it directly correlates to my health.
Um... I think that's it for now. I'll get back to you on that.
