Here's why this woman's frankly bonkers food diary is the talk of Twitter
THIS IS AMANDA Chantal Bacon.
Bacon, based in Venice, California, owns a juice and nut milk shop called Moon Juice that counts people like Gwyneth Paltrow and Shailene Woodley among its fans.
And she’s the talk of Twitter today after a frankly bonkers food diary she wrote for Elle in May 2015 suddenly went viral all over again.
Whoops!

So, what does she eat? Glad you asked.
Bacon explains that she starts her day with “some Kundalini meditation and a 23-minute breath set — along with a copper cup of silver needle and calendula tea”.
Silver needle and calendula tea? Surely that’s a mystic magic potion used to make boys fall in love with you when you’re 14, no?
Once 8am arrives, that’s when she really indulges.
Brain Dust. Vanilla mushroom protein. Corydceps. Lipospheric vitamin B-complex packets.
Whatever happened to a cup of tea?
As for what her idea of a fun snack is?
Bee pollen and activated cashews.
Ah yes, brain chemistry magic.
Do they also heal your inner unicorn spirit?
Over the course of the article, she also casually mentions how she ferments her own coconut yoghurt (of course) and likes to snack on a “delicate broth of mushrooms and herbs” before doing a two-hour yoga class.
Finally, it ends on this note.
Ugh.

Needless to say, not everyone was sold on her Raw Magic Dust Diet.
Whoops!

Since then, people have unearthed more glorious articles about the juice shop’s owner dietary habits.
Some more choice quotes.
Sounds… thrilling.
For those of you who are interested in replicating her diet, Moon Juice helpfully sells an assortment of tonics and dusts on their website.
Like Sex Dust (“A lusty adaptogen to ignite, excite, and cultivate the sexual flow in both men and women”) and Spirit Dust (“This divine energy formula feeds the thriving physical body and unites the heart and spirit with sacred herbs”).
