	3:40pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Song: "One Draw" by "Love Joys" 🔥 ⬅️
	3:41pm danny san: Since you guys mentioned indigestion , I might mention a way of eating that certain nutritionists termed food combing. Even if one eats an all cooked food diet (which i try to stay with as close to an all raw diet as I can) The properly combined diet works like this , proteins with green vegs or starches with green vegs . Starches with proteins require completely different enzymes for each. Example: a hamburger: Bread is starch And meat is a protein, and mixed together causes (most of the time) indigestion. If you can find "The Natural Hygiene Society" It is where i got a start in 1980, and never went back to the standard American diet. thanx for the space
	🥀 3:43pm Bobby: ↳ danny san @3:41 danny what time is dinner tonight?

	4:01pm rf: According to Wikipedia, false. Yma Sumac was born in Peru and moved to NY as an adult.
	4:01pm The Oscar: I'm pretty sure the Amy Camus story is a myth-- my old boss at the record store really wanted to believe it though!

	🥀 4:02pm Handy Haversack: ↳ βrian @4:00 Good choice! I hit the liquor store yesterday as well. Supplies had run low!
	🥀 4:02pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Douglas R @3:58 I got kind of tired of the dead brother in law and stopped watching. Is it worth finishing the first season and starting the second? He was just so awful.

	4:03pm Vrykoluka: NO, Yma Sumac was really Peruvian, named Zoila Augusta Emperatriz Chávarri del Castillo.The "Amy Sumac" myth came from a tongue-in-cheek review written by the critic Leonard Feather, which some mistakenly took as being true.

	3:41pm danny san: Since you guys mentioned indigestion , I might mention a way of eating that certain nutritionists termed food combing. Even if one eats an all cooked food diet (which i try to stay with as close to an all raw diet as I can) The properly combined diet works like this , proteins with green vegs or starches with green vegs . Starches with proteins require completely different enzymes for each. Example: a hamburger: Bread is starch And meat is a protein, and mixed together causes (most of the time) indigestion. If you can find "The Natural Hygiene Society" It is where i got a start in 1980, and never went back to the standard American diet. thanx for the space
