wheatgrass!

superfood.

not a bird, not a plane, but superfood. superfood with super-benefits and in my humble opinion, super-awesome flavor.

people think it's weird, but i like it. i like putting neon-green, yummy-tasting vitamins into my body while the rest of the world is eating a cheeseburger. it makes me feel subversive.

"oh, i'm such a rebel," i sometimes think. "look at me with my healthy radioactive juice...i'm really 'going against the grain' here."

there's something about the secret pride i feel whenever i tell someone i just had some and they gag a little. "heh, heh, heh," i think to myself. "these jerks just can't handle it."

or maybe it's just the fact that they give it to you in a shotglass. there's something about choosing to pound this glow-in-the-dark stuff over a shot of jameson that really makes me feel like a badass. the clean kind. the kind of badass that smells fresh like gardenias and can point out all your spelling errors in seconds flat. i don't know what it is, but i like it.

in sum:

-i like wheatgrass.

-i like being healthy.

-i like 3 pounds of vitamins being packed into one little baby shot. (this saves time and money, also known as "efficiency," something else that i like)

-i like feeling like a badass.*

*note: if you too would like to feel like a badass, next time you're craving some onion rings, go to a juice bar, order a shot of wheatgrass, and when they ask you if you want an orange wedge as a chaser, say no. so hardcore.
