I agree Max, but even when I was a little kid and didn't know that meat

didn't come from the grocery store, I didn't eat meat if I could get out of

it. My mom always made me take some and I would choke down a bit and leave

the rest. So it isn't only the killing part that bothers me.

It's funny that our bodies tell us what we need, long before there is a problem.

I think it's been over 5 years now that I developed such an aversion to meat. I

stopped eating it altogether until they opened a holistic grocery store nearby.

All their meat and dairy is hormone-free, and antibiotics are only used for the

animals if it's medically indicated. Wow, it was strange to remember what meat

*used* to taste like! I still can't eat much of it, but I feel safer eating it

if it comes from the holistic store.

I also asked the butcher in the regular grocery store about some packaging

information on the chicken they were selling. It touted itself as being

hormone-free. He said that's because the antibiotics they stuff them with works

as a growth hormone, so poultry doesn't need the things 4-legged animals do.

Re: Drinking ??!!??

i think i read somewhere it's not just the protein in meat, but special

avoidance of meat in general due to the hormones most US meats are injected with

to promote yields which is most damaging to the liver. don't know where i saw

this in my net travels but if i come across it again i'll attach the link.

Okay,

All you guys are being mean telling me all these bad things about meat! Tehee!

Sorry, I know Red meat is really hard to digest and is very hard on your liver.

And I guess it is a good thing that I cant afford to buy it often. But I do

have to admit every great once in a while I have to splurge for one of those big

juicy thicks steaks even though I pay the price later. I am originally from

Texas ya know! Tehee. But pizza, for some reason no problem! Spegetti!

Ummmmmm, no problem with that either. But I did make changes in my diet to

include more vigies and fruits. That does seem to help. And I have a secret

for my drinking lots of fluids. I dehydrate easy and cannot take gatorade.

Think it is the sodium content. But I buy Pedialyte. " Yes, for babies! " I mix

a little with each glass of water and I constantly carry a drink with me know

matter where I go. Cut way back on soda's too. I have a 7up maybe once a day

for a treat. But the acid kills my stomach. I have acid reflux and possibly an

ulcer from all this mess too. Okay enough. Just want to share in the wealth

of our wonderful diets. Dana
