    I like how you think. I'll see if there's one of these related to word crimes, tinfoil hats, and synergy.

    Wow, I'm so surprised at the results! My life would be so much harder without the internet. No more paying bills online, or mobile banking. I'd never see pictures of my nieces and nephews or my friends' kids. No emails to the kids' teachers, or checking the school website. How would I research things? OMG, I'd have to subscribe to a newspaper!!

    And my boot collection would suffer without zappos...

    You know, I think the internet would be the hardest immediately, but I would adjust. There is still TV, snail mail, news, drop off at school, etc. It would be harder, but doable. (It would be impossible for a lot of professions, however, my former one included.) We’ve all been on weird diets at some point in our lives so a week of kale wouldn’t bother most people, but week after week with no protein, no variety, no participation with all the happy occasions that center around food, etc., would seem so depressing for my energy and emotions. I think I would be miserable to be around with no protein.

    Yes, in my profession I'd be fired the first day I told them I wasn't doing the internet any longer.

    I assume I'd be given some sort of super-pill or something to make up for nutrients my body needs that aren't in kale. I'm not signing up for a suicide mission!

    Only Kale? Might have to give up the internet.

    Maybe because some of us are so old we can easily remember living life fully without the internet! Would it be harder? Yes. But it can be done!

    I'm not even that old (IMO ) and I can fairly easily imagine life without Internet. Forget Kale, I'd say goodbye BBB.

    Yep, I grew up without the Internet, too. Pictures came in a letter, printed out from a photo booth! You never emailed the teacher, if something was up the teacher called you. Far fewer helicopter parents. You listened to the radio to find out about snow days.

    I would barely last three days with only kale.

    Same here. I can't do my job w/o the internet. I guess I'm stuck with kale, though as pp mentioned, eating only that might do me in pretty quickly!
