Why does he need to understand what you’re talking about? My guess is that he knows and doesn’t care. Why can’t the guy eat his chips and soda while you munch on your celery? He’s an adult, right? You worry about your eating habits and let him worry about his. Unless he’s actually interested in knowing what you mean by “live foods,” why try to explain it to him? I don’t think the issue is a short attention span. It’s I-don’t-give-a-flying-fuck-what-you’re-talking-about syndrome.
Honestly, I would’ve given you a funny look when you said “live food,” too, and I know quite a bit about food/nutrition. I can easily figure out what you mean by that, but the live/raw food movement always makes me scrunch up my nose. When I Googled the term and found, “the term ‘Live Food’ is sometimes used to express that the food is particularly high in life force,” it resulted in a major eye roll on my part. Life force? Ugh…
Feel free to eat all the live foods you want, but that doesn’t mean he should. Heed this girl’s advice.
