Quick responses to viewer comments
Looks like blogger is back up, at least partially. So I'll try to get some responses in while I can.
- No, I have not picked ticks off friends and eaten them. Eating ants off a stick does however sound more tempting than it ever has before.
- I don't even put ketchup on people food, so putting it on monkey food is one of the more stomache churning ideas I've heard. I almost feel like I should congratulate those who suggested it. That's actually the closest I've come to throwing up.
- No, I have not increased my vertical leap. If you think white men cant jump, you should see nutritionally deprived white men.
- As much as it pains me to admit it, I have been convinced that a big steak after 7 days of barely eating may be yet another dumb idea. I refuse, however, to return to the land of people food by eating a banana. Some melon maybe.
There has been some funny coverage of this bad idea. But my favourite, without a doubt was the interview with Stephen Johnson
I'm tired. My head hurts. And I actually cut my gums on a piece of chow. But the finish line is close. My last people food meal was last Friday dinner at 9pm. So this Friday at 9pm the experiment closes. There will be another diary tomorrow, and hopefully some footage of me on the real food when its over.

Howdy -
in addition to reading (and enjoying) your monkey chow diaries, I've also developed a design for a t-shirt (a little different than the one you've come up with.) I don't want any money - just a credit if you decide to use it. If you're interested, send me an email address and I'll send it along - I was unable to find one on your site. Feel free to respond to pcdq at yahoo dot com.

wow. having actually handled monkey chow (it's a snack/food/item for destruction for parrots, and even he won't mess with it), I have much respect for you!
you do know, that in some zoos and other regions, monkeys smoke, drink beer and have been known to steal people food. i say liberate your inner monkey and wreck shop.
or not. enjoy that steak tomorrow. See you at House of Prime Rib tomorrow?
You should have a video, after 9pm, in the monkey chow chronicles that should show your expression as you eat something other than monkey chow. Piece of cheescake, fresh strawberry, spoonful of vanilla pudding, something.
So sorry about the monkey ketchup suggestion. Although, the vodka soaked piece as well as the canned stuff sure looked like close calls too.
i writing to you from the states and you by far are the most amazing person ever. keep up all the good work, by the way, are you starting to get a prehensile tail? seeya tomorrow.
Adam, you are almost there and soon will be eating REAL FOOD once again. Hang in there! BTW, That video of you downing a shot of vodka with a soaked monkey chow kibble in it was truly very disgusting - don't know how you did it. Wasn't surprised that you couldn't stomach that canned monkey chow at all...YUCK! At this point, I wouldn't blame you to finish off the experiment with a water / vodka fast. Looking forward to your next posting and video! Good luck! - Melinda
You have to have post experiment footage. I like the idea of recording your first return to human food.
I think others might be right when they say you shouldn't jump to a huge steak right after a week of near starvation, but a week can't do that much damage to your digestive system. I would think you could handle a small steak or maybe a small burger. But do take it easy on the return, whatever you choose to eat.
Firstly, I must say that you're hilarious.
I was wondering about something, and I apologize if it's been brought up before. I understand part of the point was to avoid going to the store, and I assume that it's possible to have monkey chow delivered via postal service. However, whenever I've gone to the zoo, the monkeys always have fruit in addition to their normal chow. I always thought it was a supplement for their diet, not a staple. Was that something you considered?
Didn't take the time to actually read other people's comments so someone may have already said this - BUT, even monkeys are fed fruits and veggies in the zoo (raw and thrown on the floor, so maybe you'd have to stomp on it a little first :) so if you're doing the whole monkey diet, eat some fruit and veggies!
I just found your blog today. You rock for giving this a whirl. I suspect that Bachelor Chow is just monkey chow only it has hickory-smoked flavor and MSG.
How many representatives from the monkey chow company are watching this blog with their fingers crossed that you don't get sick? Have you heard from them?
And for what it's worth, I would buy bachelor chow in a HEARTBEAT.
I am a little late on the whole thing. I found out about the experiment like 2 days after it was over. But from what I have gathered, YOU ARE FAMOUS. That's what radical ideas get you. Do something radical and people will notice you. I can't see myself doing that. You are one of the bravest, and maybe even most psychotic, person I have ever seen. You are a hero. Congratulations.
P.S.
You should try to get on Fear Factor. It should be a cinch for you now. LOL.
Dont give me that. You people have ketchup flavored fucking potato chips. I dont' buy the ketchuphobia bit.
