36ºc in Paris. How surviving by eating ?

Lunch : homemade pizza, with tapenade, tomatoes, mozarella, fesh basilic leaves and balsamic vinegar cream.

Yesterday I brought a Håagen-Dasz cream & cookies ice-cream but I forgot it in the freezer of the institute. I have no memory for sweet food. May be I will eat it tomorrow.

Dinner : cold food : homemade Gaspacho, cold chicken and sauce béarnaise, 2 glass of wine and a special water of my invention (almost) :

I let all the day in a big glass lemon slice, tomatoes, basilic, water and ice. it makes a refreshing aromarized water.

Yesterday, only ate 1400 calories. So lost 800 gr.

Balsamic vinegar cream!!! I have organic balsamic vinegar but never heard of balsamic vinegar cream. It must be a sticky staff.

This morning I woke up late. so I had a light breakfast, orange, organic apple and my own made kimchi.

Today is Ied Ramadan, the day of eating after one month of fasting.

Not very sticky, though it is a thick syrup of balsamic vinegar.It has a very good taste and is used also to decorate plates :

I didn't fast but my family in Kurdistan did. it is not so hard to fast now. They don't do anything during days time except sleeping. In the evening after they break their fast they all come out like bats.

In the old day it was very hard. I remember my step mother. She was pregnant, fasting, carrying my brother on her back and was collecting harvest in the field. It was midsummer, the longest day.

Here it is hard for muslims also, because they have to work as ordinary citizens. It was even bad for muslim students, because ramandan started during Baccalaureat examination : fasting + short nights.

And imagine muslims in Iceland, with a day lasting 22 hours… Allah did not think about people living out of Arabia !

Sleeping during the day is cheating you might as well say that I fast every night

Many people think that the fasting should take place at exactly the same time as it does in Mecca wherever people are, I think that is the only sensible solution

You forgot B12 vitamin and zinc, only found in meat obliging vegans to take pills.

Humans are neither vegetarian nor carnivore : they are OMNIVORE. No discrimination in my plate

Now they don't sleep at night during Ramadan.
They say almost all the shops are open from evening to early morning.

Other good sources of zinc are nuts, whole grains, legumes, and yeast.

Re-vitamin B12:

Vitamin B12 isn't affect by heat. It is affected by water.
Vitamin B12 is actually a bacteria found in the soil where vegetables are grown. But since we wash our vegetables before we eat them, we wash off all the B12 with water.
But cows, pigs, ect. are feed the vegetables without them being washed off. This puts B12 in their body, which is why it's in their meat after they're slaughtered.
This gives off the impression that vitamin B12 is only available from animals, but it isn't. When you cook that meat, the B12 isn't affected by heat.
Naturally from the soil, but mostly available in meats, not vegetables... weird, isn't it?

If they don't eat pills, vegans should eat unwashed vegetables and yet covered of the earth in which they grew. Or doing like gorillas, eating vegetables, shit them, and eat their own shit

I prefer a good steak.
