True hunger interview with durianrider
(June 2008)




"Recently I spent a visit at the Australia Institute of Sport (AIS). I had a race in the nations capital, where the AIS is situated. I spent some time in the library. Their latest 'sports nutrition chronicles ' had just hit the shelves. Feeling like a good joke I decided to read some of it.

I came across the 'eating disorders' section. Giving advice to coaches, parents and fellow athletes of what signs to look out for. 'Avoidance of dairy, meat and other animal products", was repeatedly stated, as a primary warning sign.

They are allowed to have their opinion. And here is mine.

I justify an eating disorder as clear cutting rainforrest, polluting streams, demolishing animals homes, releasing excess C02 into the atmoshpere, burning logs, poisioning native animals, releasing introduced species, crazy working conditions for workers, top soil eroding, salinity increasing, fcuked up trade agreements, cageing, genetically breeding, drugging, artificial feeding, family separating, cross breeding, bashing, transporting, brutally murdering, chainsaw hacking , net drowning, bycatch producing, imprisoning, wrapping corpses in plastic, perfuming, salting, colouring, smoking, advertisement justifying, microwaving, hand washing off the blood, picking up with utensils to consume, washing hands with dead animal fat soap ... thats my definition of an eating disorder.

How can optimum health be obtained with such a high death vibration?

My belief is it can't.

Durians all round!!"
