I just realized that I'm one of those straight-edge freaker dudes.
When I was in high school I had a classmate who was into the punk rock scene and an associated lifestyle. He had vowed to never use drugs, smoke, or drink. He even felt bad about consuming a little chocolate here and there because it had caffeine in it. He called this lifestyle "straight-edge." I affectionately called him a freaker. At the time, and for some years there-after, there wasn't too much that I would NOT put into my body. He told me that I was the freaker.

Well, now I'm a straight-edge freaker. Although it is not a moral choice for me. I'm simply trying to lose some weight and be healthier. Let me tell you, it's pretty hard to do- especially when you have lived a life of unlimited consumption for a while. My hat's off to you Craig. I hope you are still a straight-edge freaker.
