Ah, Los Angeles. Nowhere else in the world is there such a mix of health-driven “enlightened” souls and debaucherous, nocturnal club-goers. In this magical land of green juice and vodka, there lives a successful entrepreneur named Amanda Chantal Bacon. This woman has figured out how to turn kale into gold by opening her juice bar, Moon Juice. To her credit, she read the LA market perfectly, and she made the most of it. Bacon (her name is just the ironic cherry on top) now owns a location in Venice, a location in Silverlake, a “Moon Rover” juice truck, and a successful website. Business is booming, and even King Kelly himself has stopped by the iconic juice bar…

Bacon has built a health-based empire, and she doesn’t just talk the talk; she walks the walk. Bacon recently shared a “day in the life” on Elle. This food diary shares what Bacon eats on an average day, and the photos highlight her truly odd and exotic taste. Is her diet a bit extreme? Absolutely. But heck, the woman looks looks fan-freaking-tastic (her skin is literally glowing in the photos), so whatever she’s doing, it’s working.

Queue Jarrett Sleeper. The actor/writer is known for Stranger Than Fiction, Nourish, and MyMusic… but apparently he’s had some time on his hands recently. Sleeper added up the cost of each item listed in Bacon’s food diary, and what he found is absolutely astounding. No doubt, he didn’t cut corners on any of the costs (some of the totals appear to be for bags of ingredients not single servings), but when all was said and done he estimated that the diet cost about $1,210.97 for one day. THAT IS INSANITY! WHO HAS THAT KIND OF MONEY TO SPEND ON FOOD?! Sleeper decided to make a video “emulating” Bacon, and while it probably won’t be a stepping stone toward a friendship between the two, it will definitely make you laugh.
