The man speaks the truth. I used to be able to subsist on fast food, but these days if I don't eat at least semi-healthy I feel like absolute shit.

Personally I agree with zarx, veggies suck. I hate the taste of chlorophyll so almost anything green taste bad. Zarx could always get his veggies the same way I do, get a wife who thinks steamed rice and stir fried veggies are an acceptable dinner. If you're hungry enough, you'll eat it.

Should I start juicing?
I saw the infomercial for this:http://www.powerjuicer.com/
and it seems pretty awesome.

Is it a real alternative to actually EATING the fruits and veggies?
And would it be much more cost effective than just buying juices off the shelf? Throwing tons of items into a juicer for a glass full of juice seems like it would be a pretty expensive drink...

The advantage of making your own juice is to avoid having added sugars, colorings, and preservatives mixed in. You can also add other items which by themselves aren't as tasty but have good nutritive properties (btw, I don't believe in the claims of wheatgrass proponents. I'm not a plant, I don't need extra chlorophyll and if I'm going to add something green to a drink, it had better taste good on its own before I add it in). The problem with the juicers is that unless actively consume the solids left over from the juicing process, you lose out on a source of fiber in your diet. I'm not sure if the monetary costs are in favor of making your own (minus the cost of the machine, of course).

You could always use a blender instead, but you end up with something closer to a shake or smoothie in consistency. But if you get tired of plant-based drinks, there's always the fish option. :sweat:
