Day 5 wrap-up
In one of the more surreal weeks of my life, this was definitely the most surreal day. I’m closing in on 30,000 downloads of the diaries. I did interviews today. INTERVIEWS. Me, the dumbass eating monkey food. I’ll post links as I find them – let me know if you find them first. I’ve never felt so blogged.
I still can’t get over the support people are giving me. I’ve been called a genius and an amazing human being. Wonderful people have offered me home-cooked meals (is everyone in Nebraska so nice?). Women have claimed to find me attractive, with one suspecting she may love me (she might not be eating chow, but she’s clearly on the vodka).
Keeping my ego in check is the fact that I have also been outsmarted by many young children - I should have eaten some fruit. I get it. Back off kids!
The zookeeper, food-science, and monkey-lab technician communities cannot be thanked enough for their sound advice. Who knew?
But most importantly, everyone who has said “keep it up” should know that they are the only reason I have in fact kept it up.

its people damnit! its people!!!!!!
like everybody else says..
Keep it up , man
you devotion will get you very far not only in your monkey chow adventures but hopefully in life too.
You are an inspiration to us all (by 'us all' i mean 'the crazy ones')
seriously, please slog on through these remaining two days... If i lived near you, I would personaly BBQ you a striplion the size of a toilet seat for your victory meal.
PS: Striplion is best served with whole grain mustard and horseradish...
wishing you luck.

Wow, man, I salute your fortitude.
Please, for those of us who enjoy this type of ... internet... joy? Keep it up!
You have my support!
If you wish to try out something else later... there's this guy who survives on sunlight!
Don't eat the fruit man!!! Be strong! Have you considered shaving the pellets into a dust then mixing them with water and drinking it? I know that sounds nasty but hey, you never know.

dude your crazy and i love it. what i want to know is where you came up with this idea in the first place and what not? also i love the monkey chow out thing at the end i think that's my new like see you later thing lol
~G/L
your so crazy, but keep going! when this is all done, you should probably visit the doctors to make sure your body can still function. Good luck!
Not to be nerdy, but when you were wondering the PDF being changed, I thought I would look at the PrimateDry67.pdf file properties:

So, Manimal, you may be part Ferret instead of part Monkey! Hence the stinkiness.
Oh! What about ants on a stick? Not much for food, but just too add a little bit o' crazy for your neighbors.
dude your doing great i checked out the rest of oyur site because of this! im inspired what can i say, i wanna get angry!
I have to thank you. I laughed and laughed and laughed. I don't do that often enough these days, so thanks.
you are a king amongst men... or a human amongst monkeys.. i dunno, whichever inspires you more..
keep up the good work.

Your delivery in the monkey chow videos is brilliant. I hope this lands you much success in the future.
Finally someone is addressing the important scientific questions of the day.
As a child I ate some cat crunchies but probably not enough to start purring.
Keep it up!
seriously, keep it up...living with less is always very interesting...save some money and buy a car with the money you would have used on food
I'm lovin' it!
You are so cool. I admire your struggle! Keep it up!
im sure you already know but you made it to boingboing
PLEEEEEEEEEEEEZE, we need at least one minute of continuous monkey chow eating on video!!!! feel free to yap through it as well, that's enjooyable
Hi there,
I remember you talking about this some time ago when you were trying to buy the food, and it's so great to come across a link and see you actually going ahead with it.
Amusingly just yesterday I came across a human weightloss diet where for 4-week stretches at a time you get your entire nutrition from bars, shakes and instant soup. Have to say I found it pretty scary, but at least it goes to show it works for people (in some circumstances) as well as for other primates. Anyway it's the Cambridge Diet if you want to find out more. Personally I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole, but I suppose at least it has a little more variety.
Good luck!
Zen on dude. Why get choosy... a great exercise for the mind.
Don't forget... you are eating better than most of america :)
I've been performing the opposite experiment to you and feeding my monkey 3 square human-style meals and cans of lager for the last 2 weeks. He's starting to throw things more and move about less. His favourite meal has been sausage egg chips and beans so far, though I've high hopes for tomorrow's lasagne. His breath still stinks and he still shits on the carpet. He belches more than he used to and seems less interested in the dog (much to the dog's pleasure).
I think you should eat some fruit
May I suggest rotating brands? I do not know how many brands of monkey food there are, but with my dog, he gets bored with his food, so I rotate among a few different brands, and each time I switch he wolfs down his food with gusto.
So rotating brands may bring more of a variety of flavor. Or maybe you can even mix them together, like fruity pebbles? No ... that would just make a boring melange. With a different brand each week, you'd have something to look forward to!
People in Nebraska are nice, yes, but there is also some sort of bred-in compulsion to feed others. It's strong. You should have met my grandmother.
You are definantly onto something. If you took your energy/idea and R & D'd a type of people 'chow' (you'd have to rename it to market it), something pleasing to the senses, you could possibly have a big return in the future. The way the economy is going many people in the near future will not be able to afford to eat regular food. (Oil goes up, war costs go up, cost of living goes up, food goes up, wages don't go up to keep up) and this is when your product tears it up.
Keep gagging down the chow!
you are retarded. keep your ego in check, please, whore
your idea is great. Do you have any regular medical advice? because who know how dngerous your crazy idea could be...
Keep going!
just discovered the chow diaries...be strong my friend.
don't know if it's been suggested, but would it violate the rules of the experiment to put some kind of sweetener on the food? It might make for less gagging on the way down...just a thought.
Good luck with the last two days.
well us nebraska folk don't take kindly to people not taking kindly to strangers.
and we are almost always drunk ;)
yes, nebraska people are very nice!
the next time you're in nebraska, we'll have a barbecue for you, sans-Monkey Chow.
If you, or anyone out there does this again, try soaking the chow first (in water or broth)and combining it with vegetables to add some fiber and color. Then it is just TVP - textured vegetable protein. Also, beware of the little bug eggs that are often in the monkey chow. Store your chow in airtight containers, in the freezer or away from other grain items. The bugs make a lil' extra protein crunch, but are no fun if they hatch and start flying around in your pantry infesting your rice and beans. The chow is a good RARE treat for tortoises, iguanas, and parrots, but should be soaked for all but the parrots.
Monkey chow man:
Tired of preparing food, setting the table & washing dishes?
Try T.V. dinners with paper plates & plastic forks, knives, spoons and styrofoam cups. Unfortunately you will still have to shop.
I feel the same way though. Oh how I long for the Star Trek device that spits out fully prepared and tasty food.
Hey...at least you're entertaining, which is more than I can say about most people. Good luck!
