Odd Health Kicks
For weeks now, I’ve been hearing the strangest sound coming from one of my neighbor’s apartments. At first, I thought it was a vacuum cleaner or other medium-duty appliance, only to discover the noise coming during the early and late hours of the day. It suddenly occurred to me this morning: what I’m hearing from my neighbor’s apartment is a blender.
Blenders, it seems, come and go in the food fad category. Health “experts” seem to come up with new, more noxious concoctions some combination of fruit, vegetables, and a “specially-formulated protein blend”, the last element also used to advertise dog food. At what point did liquifying an entire meal become a substitute for actual food?
