Hello August, and Rule #18

I felt very healthy following last week's rule. It made you forgo things like the ice cream at the company picnic, the non-stop starbucks desserts at work, and the candy from the occasional candy dish. When I was hungry I would often find myself eating an orange, some watermelon, or a handful of cherries, and surprisingly (only if you know me) I was okay with it. This upcoming week our rule is very similar but perhaps a little harder because the "cooked" catch is not included. Rule 18: Don't ingest foods made in places where everyone is required to wear a surgical cap. This will mean basically anything that is made in a plant. We are taking the "made" part of this rule very literally because many foods go through a processing plant where people are required to wear surgical caps, but these places do not make things such as apples, which we think are okay (obviously we always try to buy locally so this issue may not even come up....but just in case we want to make our rule clear).
