What are ⁦@driscollsberry⁩ strawberries only red on the outside, and completely white on the inside? Real strawberries are red on the inside too. #frankenfruit #gross I guess I won’t be buying strawberries anymore 😢

I’m running 5.6 miles on May 16th for survivors of domestic violence. At 44 y.o. & #vegan 28 yrs, I’m stronger than ever. Today I ran an 11-min/mile pace for 6 miles. Most people my age get diarrhea from eating and can't run. I fix that! #GutHealth
