Adhering to the O,DSGN-Free,V-Friendly diet is a totally rewarding lifestyle. Besides never having any energy, no one will meet you for lunch, invite you over for dinner parties or share a tub of unbuttered popcorn with you at the movie theater. Instead, you can devote yourself to chewing celery, making sunflower seed burg-ers and having excessive diarrhea. Live it up— alone — because no one will stop by to dig through your pantry. If you find that you’ve been abandoned by all friends (who blame it on your “unnecessarily dangerous health obsessions”), just move to L.A. and look for anemic-looking celebrity types. They’ll love you for who you are. Whoever needed bacon anyway?

raisin salad!

I’m detoxing.

Drinks at 9? That’s right in the middle of

my three-hour toilet date.

I can’t make it. You only have tap water,

and you know how I feel about that.

I’m sorry, I’ve burned through all of my

calories for the day.

I have to wash my hair.
