Our boys and men are trained to believe they are still cave men bashing things over the head, dragging them home, and eating them. "That's just what men do." <br /><br />A good dose of gardening can go a long way toward peaceful compassionate change. <br /><br />The pineal gland and DMT are fascinating subjects. What you have added above in your comment makes a lot of sense to me. I have always wondered how people can work in slaughter houses. The places kill animals, but what effect do they have on the workers? Meat production and consumption is not good for any of the life forms involved.<br /><br />I like my meals without all the violence.Gregg Koephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349453216733070775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-30154838924349698452016-05-13T09:41:10.356-03:002016-05-13T09:41:10.356-03:00We immediately noticed how much cleaner vegetarian...We immediately noticed how much cleaner vegetarian cooking can be. No excessive fat and grease to contend with during and after. No toxic juices on your counter, cutting board, and utensils. When you really think about it, and look closely, preparing and eating meat is quite gross.Gregg Koephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349453216733070775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-79073463432373413692016-05-13T09:38:11.281-03:002016-05-13T09:38:11.281-03:00Aww - a chicken sanctuary.

Protein is in bread, pasta and vegetables etc. Eating meat has an effect on the cannabinoid receptors in the brain. My personal theory of why meat is popular is that when an animal is put through absolute terror DMT is released in the blood stream and this is then taken in by consumers, this would explain why the most popular meats are terrorised in abattoirs and game meats and fish are less popular. Basically the more an animal is terrorised the more popular the meat creating a hierarchy. Thanks for the great post.

It's just so hard to watch other children get sick with the parents unaware that it's mostly dietary related.

My health has improved in many small ways (I didn't have any serious problems) and we're all thriving, including my 7 year old son. And while I realize this is just anecdotal, my son is definitely the healthiest child I know. He's very unusual in that he's never had an ear infection, been on antibiotics or been constipated. He's quite tall for his age and thriving. I say this to let other people know that a child can thrive on plants and that they don't need to eat dairy or meat or eggs to be very healthy. Plus, as you said, it feels so good to know you're not contributing to a cruel and environmentally damaging system. I also enjoy cooking more than I used to.<br />-KateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-12263422678367986632016-05-11T16:58:11.133-03:002016-05-11T16:58:11.133-03:00I agree 100 % that living creatures not only deser...I agree 100 % that living creatures not only deserve to not be eaten but deserve a life free from stress. My partner has just built a chicken coop for chickens which will be allowed to live each and every day until they die naturally. This is something I can do for sentient beings that is easy and loving. I am vegan and have been for many years for the same reason.
