“Growing up my father would always say ‘You’ve got to risk it, for the biscuit.’ Frankly, I’ve never understood it. Nor have I ever tasted a biscuit that is worth any level of risk. Nor would I indulge in a biscuit if risk wasn’t even involved, because I’m living that gluten-free life. Yessir. Cauliflower crusts and almond flour dough for me.
“Your brain is directly connected to and informed by your gut – so they tell me. All those billions and billions of bacteria, living and thriving down there. That is what really controls us. We are just the vessel for their every desire. Slaves to their bacterial will. Whole cities of microorganisms that retain full control of their human counterparts.
“Think about it the next time you speak to someone who is hangry, or in any mood for that matter. It’s just the mood of their internal overlords. The state of their symbiotic microscopic society.
“I sound crazy? Well you are looking at me like I am out of my mind. Well clearly its not even my mind. Pay attention. You’ll see. You think your thoughts are your own? I think not. More like the consensus of your governing micro-bodies.
“So you see why I dare not risk, at any level without gut approval. Risk, they say should only be calculated and controlled. Do you now understand the importance of following your gut instinct? Billions of tiny bacterial brains already provided you the decision to your dilemma. Treat your gut well and they will never steer you wrong.
“That’s why I would much rather risk it for a gluten-free rice flour scone, or a coconut flour coconut sugar cookie or, yes, a gluten-free biscuit will do fine. Yeah that could be worth a risk. Metered and controlled risk of course.”
