Why do my roommates make fun of me cause I use my juice extractor daily?
I drink celery, carrot, broccoli, cabbage juice, etc, with the juice I make from my juice extractor, however my roommates make fun of me cause I do this.
Answers:
Are you a guy? Because if you are, then that's probably why, but who cares, you are getting a ton of antioxidants, and vitamins. So when they are dying of cancer, you can laugh while you are juicin'
Who cares?? Its obvious that you are to sensitive!!
cause their stupid !
I have no idea what's thereto laugh about ?
I would think anyone would make fun of you.
It's kind of weird. Healthy, But weird.
Dont worry about it. But will you make me some orange juice please.
You'll probably get the last laugh when you are 110 years old and dancing on their graves.
get your own place
They probably don't understand the benefits from it.
And also, how a little extra work can give you great nutrition and
vitamins and keep you healthy.
Maybe someday they will remember this and start themselves!
They are laughing out of embarrassment since they are ignorant and have just realized they are living with a superior intellect
that's crazy. they probably have a fear of health? or maybe they're shocked that there are still people left in the world who eat food that wasn't processed.
Just put it all in a smoothie blender...less cleanup..more pulp fiber. Here are some recipes
Ridgerunner's Blended Spinach Salad
1 cup pineapple
1 orange
1 pear
1 apple (or a couple carrots)
1/8 slice lemon with peel
1 tbsp ground flaxseed
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 large handful raw spinach (about 8 oz - yes, 1/2 lb!)
First blend the pineapple, orange, pear, apple, lemon and flaxseed to a nice fluid. Add the frozen blueberries and blend them in. Last, add the spinach and blend for 20-30 seconds until smooth. It looks horrible (purplish brown) but tastes delicious! (and you will be surprized how much it "compresses down" with blending - 1/2 lb compresses down to about 1 cup fluid).
I started off just adding spinach to the carrot citrus cocktail we all love, but gradually started adding more fruits. The secret is to have lots of sweet and fluidy fruits to overwhelm the subtle flavor of spinach. You CANNOT taste the spinach - I guarantee it!

Broccoli?
Okay; you've sort of answered your own question.
They're probably thinking "WTF? The dude could be juicing stuff like pineapples and raspberries, and eating his damn broccoli intact with some hummus. Why make such lousy beverages? I mean, that's not even something you can mix vodka into. Gross."
maybe they think youre kind of like the guy on Friends who used to dry his fruit.
anyway, i think thats great you use a juice extractor. im going to look into it myself. what machine are you using? thanks.
weeeeeellll lets roll on over to the juice section in the grocery store , what do we see? about 1000 fruit juices and one veggie. hint? naaaaa
then again , you're room mates MAY just be jerks .... dunno , but my recommendation is you take that gas inducing concoction of yours and rip off one in each of their rooms and laugh at them , it'll make you feel better i promise .
Sounds like they are just playfully teasing you, ignore them. People always like chiding someone else about habits that are different from what would be standard or their idea of what is considered the "norm".
Most people get teased for one thing or an other. I have always been teased because of what i eat. My friends would often say " you know most people smoke herbs you eat them" Juicing is healthy but not a lot of people do it. It is not the norm therefore, many may not understand it. If they are your friend then they are only teasing you because they want to enjoy your company and have a good laugh. The best advice i can give you is to not worry about what others say, just do what makes you happy.
Hello Religion B,
I think what you are doing is very healthy for you. I hope you don't become discourage by your roommates comments. Keep up the good work and stay fit.
