Dear Taco Scientists,

I am interested in adopting a taco-based lifestyle, but I have a confession to make. I am actually a little afraid of eating tacos in public. I tend to spill out the fillings all over myself and make a mess. Should I practice with a burrito first?

Sincerely,
Tacophobic in Tempe

 

Dear Tacophobic,

Firstly, let us address your last question. No.

Secondly, we have to wonder, are you tilting your head when eating tacos? Are you folding your tortillas properly? Are you opening your mouth when the taco gets close enough? We believe that everyone can benefit from a Taco Cleanse, but you have to be willing to put in the work. It takes practice and dedication for the unfortunately taco-challenged folks out there. We believe in you. Also, it might be time to stop worrying about what others think of you. If they can’t look past your hot sauce stained sweatshirt and see your inner bodymind igniting with the heat of a thousand jalapeños, then why would you care what they think? Good luck in your taco journey, TiT.

In Taco Solidarity,
The Taco Scientists

But when The New York Times tweeted a guacamole recipe that included green peas as a featured ingredient, Twitter reacted with disgust. Even President Obama registered his disapproval by tweeting

We at the Taco Cleanse believe in experimentation. If smashed peas appeal to your palate, we encourage you to eat them with pride.

No Burritos Just Tacos on the Taco Cleanse

Standard

One of the main problems that people come to us with on taco cleanse is trying to substitute with other items, like a California style burrito. We don’t have anything against other food but the thing is, our research has repeatedly proven that you just aren’t going to get the kind of results you are looking for if you don’t adhere to a strict taco cleanse. If you are having trouble with this concept please watch this video. If you continue to have trouble…check out the ten hour version.
