i have to warn you - if you're going to eat red peppers, beets & carrots together in these sorts of quantities on a daily basis, you need to prepare yourself for the possibility of producing truly scary looking shit.

it's the scariest shit i've ever seen, i tell you.

i hope i'm ok. i feel ok...a little better once it's passed, even...

the thing that's unsettling me is not exactly the fear that i'm passing blood; all evidence is it's just what i ate, and i feel fine. the thing that's unsettling me is that i wouldn't know if i was. so, yeah - it's probably just the beta-carotene and betaine, together. but, what if it isn't? how am i supposed to know?

well?

if i'm really paranoid, i guess i can look for clots and clumps, right? i should actually be able to tell the difference between a tinted fecal matter and actual blood clots, right?

so, i dunno - am i going to get used to this? if i'm eating beets everyday, it would seem i'd need to.
