Guest guest Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 Relax and just focus on putting one foot in front of the other ( as the song says). I'm sorry to tell you pork is an avoid, but the eggs are still good. I still believe that as you eat the same thing over and over you will develop a taste for it. Our minds are such odd organs in that they become so engrained and convinced of things and cling to liking things that have so little to do with whats right for our bodies and so much to do with the habits and feelings of people whose paths we've crossed as well as many temporary (and often negative) situations they create in our body chemistry. For me there was a little mourning involved. I realized that I didn't like the place so many of the bad habits took in my life and the big pieces of my life they stole. I also came much closer face to face with my own mortality and watched the mortality of others close to me and had to conclude that I just had to say goodbye forever to the avoids. This didn't happen easily or quickly, but it did take some jarring experiences to wake me up. I want to live as long as I can because even taking away all the neat little conveniences of our computerized automated entertained lives, its an incredible experience just to live in this world, to have legs that can carry us where we want to go, to be able to affect others' lives for the better. And the only way I knew to do that as long as it is my lot to do it in the most enjoyable way was to do what I knew and had learned was right. In some of my darkest hours of feeling ill from my years of habits, I remembered a verse from Genesis. It's the story of Cain and Abel and after Cain had killed Abel it says something to the effect that God would not accept his sacrifice and his face was downcast and God spoke and said " If you do what is right, will not your countenance (facial expression) lift? " It kept me aware that I knew what was right and just doing those simple right things, as unnatural as they were lightened the load because they contributed to my life. meat Hi All, Tom you sure are doing a good job on your diet, I like meat but I don't know if I could eat it 3 times a day. How about pork? I do like pork and bacon and eggs sound good. I don't like mineral water but it has been years since I tried it. I live in East Tennessee and since it is the south we do eat so different from the rest of the country. I went to the library and the book about eating right for your blood type had been checked out so I will have to wait until it comes back in.I go to the grocery store tomorrow so I will try to buy some of the things I need like the greens.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 I think about that too. An interesting book is by Derrick Jensen, " A Language Older than Words " He is an ecologist, and he writes about the destruction of the natural world that has been going on for centuries.... and then he weaves in his personal life... it's very well written, actually. He raises his own ducks and chicken for food. Which surprised me, given how strongly he feels about not killing animals.... I would have guessed vegetarian. He writes about how the birds seem to offer themselves to be killed... his dog would kill them... if he caught his dog at it, he's take the bird away, and the unharmed bird would walk off. But a few days later the dog would have the SAME bird again. I read in a couple of different books about prey animals, that they do not fight back against the lion, that sometimes an animal will seperate from the herd and make itself more vunerable to the lion. It's hard to believe, that an animal would be willing to die. But it's something that people who work with animals have noticed. I'm probably not explaining it as well as the books I have read. Of course there are plenty of other times when the animal will fight for its life. I wonder what blood type the Dalia Lamma is? - T --- wrote: Date: Thu, 16 Sep 2004 12:32:07 +0200 From: " Opernschule BGZ, Y.Zollikofer " <opernschulebgzb@...> Subject: meat well - I still have, after three years of BTD, a bad feeling about killing animals for me to eat ! and not any well spoken words can hide, that whe shouldn't kill - we can eat without meat - anemia is to cure with other things (like iron for inst.) allthough I sometimes do eat meat, because I like it very much, but like Tamara said, I than feel thankful that the animal nourishes me and think " thank you " a shame that all those peoples that had a so much stronger and healthier connection to nature got killed ! love Re: Cheating every other 2 days? > Hello Alyona, > > Do you abhor meat because of how it tastes or because you don't like to kill animals? > > If it's hard for you to kill animals, you might want to look at the > spirituality of the Native Americans, and other hunting societies, who > would pray thanks to the animals who gave their lives so the tribe > could survive.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Opernschule BGZ, Y.Zollikofer wrote: > isn't there a little difference ?? Not really. There are live cells in both, and some plants move about and swim (like Volvox for example) and the only difference that makes us call them plants is the presence of green pigment that can use the sun for energy. But there are all kinds of in-betweens, and the classification is purely arbitrary. There are plants that move and animals that do not. There are animals with pigment and plants with none - there is no definite demarcation between them at the microscopic level and only when they are more specialized and big, do we find it easier to classify some living things as plants and others as animals. Genetically we are about 98% the same, and if you look into the cells of a live plant or animal you will see a great deal of activity going on - cytoplasm moving about and an unbelievable number of reactions and changes happening to maintain the life of the plant/animal. What we should remember is that the entire living system of plants and animals is intended to be in a circular food chain - it is *designed* to be that way. If you take out some aspect of the food chain you disturb the balance of nature. We are *designed* to eat animals, and the way our design is set up, you can not doubt that. It would be a denial of the wonderful, intricate and well planned functioning of every level of our beings to pretend we are not designed as we are. Would that not be an insult to the design then to eat inappropriately for the design? About ten years ago, I spent two weeks in Kruger National Park in South Africa, camping there and exploring on foot (not something most people get to do, I was on a research team) to observe the wonderful balance of nature there and how every creature on the planet is inter-twined in design so that they all support each other nutritionally and in other ways. You can see it best in a natural unspoiled place where the animals are where they were designed to be - not imported from some other continent and mixed in. There's a little bush that grows there despite dry conditions - turns out termites bring up water from 250 foot underground to give the bush water - and turns out a specific breed of centipede eats the termites which are poisonous too all creatures except one. That one is a small creature who in turn is food for a larger one, and so on up the line to the Giraffe who only eats from the very tops of the trees where other animals can not reach. Each vegetarian animal eats their own level of vegetation and if you look carefully you can tell which herd last ate in the area where you are standing. Nobody goes hungry as each has their own level of food horizontally. Weak trees are brought down by elephants, and stripped of bark that they eat, leaving only the strong ones to produce leaves for the rest. Yet if you take out just one creature - like the termites that get water for the plants - the entire system of plants and animals would die. The water hole activity is also beautifully designed and intertwined, and the smaller animals get thirsty first - so if you want to see zebra for example, you go to the water hole about 3pm as that's when they get thirsty. This way, prey and predator go to the water hole at different times and can drink safely - it's not meal time, just thirst time, and animals there who could be prey and predator will often be seen drinking in peace together. Man is an important predator at Kruger Park as well. If man did not cull come animals there would be too many of some species. So man culls the excess animals and most of it is made into canned meat for the many families living near the park or working in the park. There is also a great deal of promotion of the farming of African buck rather than beef cows there. The reason is that Africa is not designed for cows (India is designed for them, and they come from there.) Cows have been brought to AFrica and have destroyed a large part of Africa as any aerial photography will show. Africa is turning to desert, and unless they get the cows out of there - it will soon all be desert which can grow nothing. The reason is that cows eat grass down so low there is nothing left but bare earth. then the torrential rain of Africa comes down and washes off the topsoil leaving barren desert. African animals of the cattle kind - Afrikaander cattle and African buck of various kinds like the large Kudu for example) do not do that - they eat grass till there is a significant stump of grass left then they quit - enough is left to be viable and have roots that hold the soil together during the rain - and then sprout again for the next season after the rain. Where the designed animals are, Africa is healthy - where the imported cows are - Africa is dying, all plants and animals can not live where Africa is dead, barren desert with no topsoil. The whole world is designed equally intricately and well, and man is part of that intricate design. In my book " Thou shalt not kill " applies to the entire design - removing a termite would kill Africa - adding cows would kill Africa - removing man as a predator would kill Africa. The design is a big unit - and for me the wonder is that the closer you look - including down a microscope the more wondrously intertwined you can see that the design is - how we are not healthy without fish oil - we are designed to need it and can not make it from linolenic acid for more than 3 to 5% conversion, no matter how much flax seed we eat. We are designed to get many different nutrients from animal sources as there is no other way to get them in the right ratio - and if we did not use the food chain we are part of, we would destroy it. Africa is no exception - Kruger PArk was just one spot still as original as it was designed where you can see that. Nature even supplies the right medicines in the right places. For example a terrible animal disease in cows called Foot and Mouth disease occurs in Africa in beef cows. Why do the African animals not get it? The Tswana tribe knows why - the African animals eat a specific bush that grows there which is a herbal cure for Foot and Mouth. Being part of the design in Africa they *know* to do this and never get sick. The cows designed for India don't know that in Africa and they get sick and die and whole herds are often destroyed to stop the spread. So in order to try to save Africa - those who understand the essential inter-related design of NAture are trying hard to get farmers to farm African animals. Sadly the desertification of Africa thanks to imported cattle is progressing very fast as the new powers in the government don't give a hoot about tomorrow - so it is an uphill battle. The natural design is delicate - break the link in the chain and it ALL can fail. We are also a link in that chain - an important one. I could write for ever on how intricately our bodies are designed to use the animal and plant food in the chain where we are a link. We are not designed to be vegetarian, and anyone who studies botany and zoology down a microscope and at the cell physiology level could never doubt that. After seeing Kruger PArk close up even from a distance looking at the land as a whole I don't doubt the place of every component including ourselves in the food chain. But the closer you look down to microscopic level and below, the *more* obvious it is. Kruger PArk occupies a size about a third the size of one state of USA, ix exactly as nature designed it originally and is maintaine that way - so is an excellent living example of how well the plants and animals are all designed to work together as a living unit and food chain - every link in the chain is essential, from termite to man. The chain is only as good as its weakest link - all the links are relevant, and leaving out only one link can destroy a continent. Literally that is happening.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 When I was a teenager, I was looking at some nature picture book, and there were a sereis of photos of the grasslands in Africa somewhere. In these photos, there was a lion, a zebra, and another horned animal, I think it was a wildebeest, not sure, some big animal with horns. For 2 or 3 days the animals were near each other with no problem, they were not afraid of the lion and the lion did not move to hunt them. Then suddenly the next day the lion attacked the wildebeest. The researcher taking the photos was astonishd that the horned beast did nothing to defend itself from the lion. He said it was big and strong and could easily gore the lion with its horns, but did nothing. I am remembering this from many years ago, so it's possible that I have the details wrong, but it made an impression on me. I'm also remembering reading an account of a man who was attacked by a lion, and he said at a certain point he went into a joyful euphoria, and felt no pain.... he was rescued none the less.... I have a theory that hunting by predators is responsibler for the evolution of love and of intelligence....in the prey animals, the baby stays very close to mama,there is a very stong bond between them, because if the baby strays too, it gets eaten. The mama will fiercely defend the baby and the lions know it. There's a bond between the mama lion and the babies also, as lion cubs can get eaten, but also hunting has to be taught. And lions hunt in teams, it takes some intelligence to stalk prey, you have to watch it carefully, and plan your move to catch it, and if you are hunting in a team, you have to coordinate with the others, however simply. While grazing animals, to eat, they just bend their heads and chew the grass, nothing to think about, nothing that needs to be learned. I'm not a animal expert, just my musings... - T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also find that most people who deny themselves meat for " ethical " reasons do not even bother to find out what it takes to get the right amount of each nutrient daily. If they did they would see just how and why we are not designed to do that - including the BTD research which also shows that. The more researchers find out, the more it is proved how much we are designed to eat meat and fish etc. The ratios of amino acids are different for example in animal versus plant protein and the immune system doesn't like it if we use only plants like soy etc for protein - it causes the immune system to skew towards overactive antibody and auto-immune activity. Nor can we manufacture enough DHA and EPA from plants - we can only convert 3 to 5% of it - we need it from fish. The list goes on a long time of how and why we are designed to consume animal foods - and the more research we do, the more we find out how important animal foods are to us. It was not long ago we spoke of " getting oil or fat " - and now we know enough to recognize that we need not just " omega-3 oils " but specific omega-3 oils like EPA and DHA to function properly. Those only occur in animal fat, like fish oil. I've always thought it obvious that we are designed to eat animals but I had the advantage of several years of study in the right areas of various biological sciences, to make it obvious. My good friends who are vegetarian and in poor health as a result (allergies, fibromyalgia, obesity, painful arthritis, etc) do not " get it " - they continue to eat " tofurkey " type food instead of turkey type food - and in my opinion that is the unethical thing to do as it is a total disrespect to the beautiful design we have, and is doing intentional damage to it by using inappropriate fuel. It's like putting sugar in the gas tank of a nice car and saying it is moral to do so in order to save fossil fuels. The car is not designed for sugar, and in my view it is not moral to abuse the car or the human body by using fuel contrary to the design. > and have a concsiousness - that's what makes the > difference .... ! We have a consciousness yes - and it should take into account the design of our wondrously intricate bodies and how they are designed to function and what is intended by the design as fuel, yes. It also means we kill to eat, and not for pleasure; that we kill as nature does - in a humane way and not a cruel way, and that we respect food animals. That makes a difference - and respects the design and intention of the design. We did not get designed this way by accident - it is intentional and very special and to be respected, it's how we fit in with everything else on the planet.

I'm reading for information of nutrition for years, so my fealings are not just because I'm not taking information ... but anyhow, let's stop this discussion, who will ever know the trueth, I eat meat (organic, grassfead) from time to time I just don't like when people that say they have difficulties with concsiousness killing animals, are getting anwsered like they where some romantic crazies - that makes it very easy for the others to cope with their own concsiousness .... love Re: Re: meat > Opernschule BGZ, Y.Zollikofer wrote: > > well,well ..... an animal that has to eat meat because it is made like that > > of his creator ... isn't that a big difference to humans that can live very > > well without meat > > > It's not true that humans can live very well without meat. > > I also find that most people who deny themselves meat for " ethical " > reasons do not even bother to find out what it takes to get the right > amount of each nutrient daily.
