Is Joey Going Green?

It's not that easy bein' green..........And so the song goes. I've recently come into some information that could change my life forever. There seems to be strong evidence that a vegan diet cannot only control diabetes, it can also reverse it. This is startling info for someone like me. I don't like to picture myself living in a nursing home as an amputee. And if I stay on the course I'm on, this could become reality. What is needed is a drastic change. You're not listening. I mean a really drastic change unlike anything you've ever done. This change will be monumental. I will have to give up grilling, cooking, and eating all the things I love. The net result will be life. It seems like an easy choice but it's not. I already have life doing the things I know I'm not supposed to do. I just don't have it for long. Going green is the only way for me in the long haul.

I have to have a really good metaphor for this. I am going to call it the Quest. This is my quest, to follow that star no matter how hopeless, no matter how far. I just sang this for the Miriam Lodge the other day. Perhaps this was a message from God. OK, I hereby proclaim that I am going to give this my best shot. I'm going to accept the Quest and go green. Just call me Mr. Salad. The produce section is now my favorite section in the grocery store. Oh hell yeah!

I've got this!!
