Of course you weren't shtting
Your body was celebrating food that wasn't contaminated with mutant germs.

Dan and I have unique health goals. We aim for a Nourishing Traditions type diet with high animal protein. You may disagree with our health goals, and that is fine. I might disagree with yours as well.
We have never aimed for perfection. We eat out about once a week and aren't uptight at family gatherings and church potlucks. I will cater my meal slightly but will generally eat what's served. My husband will usually go nuts and eat pure crap.
During the week my son was in the hospital, we all ate pure crap. It was a week marked with white flour pasta and cookies. I could have put in some effort and made more food myself, but I didn't. There was no lacto-fermented salsa or soaked grain tortillas for a whole week.
We don't consider this a failure. Some of it was laziness. I didn't want to make three meals a day. Some of it was comfort food... the cookies. It wasn't a failure, though, because it was temporary.
We undid some of the things we had been working toward. Both Dan and I noticed a marked difference in our regularity. At first, I thought it was because we were using someone else's bathroom, but then I remembered the cookies. Rest assured, we have been doubling up on out lacto-fermented foods, and things are coming back to normal in the bathroom.

I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
I think I would be clogged with the stuff they ate.
I liked that she admitted to enjoying the washer and dryer like normal folk. I have a feeling the kids didn't want to go home.
Of course Dan goes nuts and eats everything. That is what happens when you starve a person.
I don't doubt that if they ate spaghetti and McDonalds for a week that their bodies would work differently, but she doesn't acknowledge that there is a vast middle ground between mass quanities of Chips Ahoy and a teaspoon of fermented salsa.
I just a friendly gal looking for options.
"During the week my son was in the hospital, we all ate pure crap."
forget finding 1/2 eaten rotting apples around your 400sqft pit and turning them into lacto-fermented applesauce - this the ultimate form of recycled food/not letting anything go to waste.
Wait, they eat out once a week? We don't even do that.
I do appreciate that she is giving thanks to the McDonald's house. I always here wonderful things about it.
