Juicy

For Christmas we got a juicer.  My husband had been wanting one for a very long time, he was pretty much convinced that it would change his life.  Like, that serious.  So when we opened that box with the juicer inside, he was...well, like a KID at Christmas.  Update: It's now June.  I am not a big fan of the juicer, personally.  My biggest problem is that I just don't understand why we need to even have juice.  I prefer to eat my fruit whole, honestly.  And drink water or tea.  I felt like we had to have a LOT of fruit to get a wee little bit of juice.  What the heck, juicer!?!?  And the kids hated it.  Like, they genuinely would rather have water than the "weird" juice that Mommy made.  Sigh!  Ok, so picky kids and thrifty mom aside, if you watched the documentary Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead like I did, you can kind of see how the juicing lifestyle would be a life saver for those who are currently eating themselves to death.  For us, it just didn't fly.  Plus, juicers are hard to clean and kind of messy.  You be the judge.  In my PERSONAL opinion, you would be wise to borrow one and try it for a couple weeks before investing the money.  I am not knocking what could be a potentially very healthy choice, but it is quite a commitment if you want it to "change your life".  PS: Guess who has NOT made any juice as of yet?  Husband.  Nuff said.
