carnivore eyes

My peripheral vision has gone dead. My eyes ache on a daily basis. On the occasion that I get hi, I usually have an experience kind of like this. An experience where I bump into things and have a faulty perception of the proximity of all objects. I am not bumping into things though. I am however, kicking things with my feet and walking in front of cars. According to the news there is an 'social epidemic' of people walking in front of cars. Checking phones, blackberries, i-pods. I wam walking in front of traffic without such distractions. I know the feeling, the difference between my peripheral awareness being entact and being broken. I considered diet as a cause.
I am eating very very well lately. Crepes at Loveley hula hands are delcious and perhaps surpass the amazing pork crepes that were served at Simpataca for a while. The spanish family supper at Clark Lewis was also amazing. The outstanding dish was an earthy 'cinnamon scented' cous cous. All the japanese dishes I have been eating from Madhur Jafferey's Far East cook book have bee outstanding. I have been euphoric from dinner on a daily basis. I have had a wide variety of nutrients. Maybe too much rich food? I don't know.
Only being able to notice things happening directly in front of me makes me really terrified though. I need the side vision. If I go dancing I might bump into a person or hit them with an arm. At night my eyes cannot focus well. Everything goes hazy, doubles. My right eye feels as if it is stuffed with dry crumpled cardboard.
Food cannot fix everything. But maybe I will prescribe a melon for myelsf.
