Hi everyone,

I wrote to the list about not eating meat for 10+ years. I gave up meat

when I was about 17 and just started eating it again (I'm 30). When I was

about 19 I decided I would try a " vegan " diet and within 2 years was

overweight and depressed. I started eating a little fish in '94 and have

been going through candida and hormone related problems since '95.

The only question I want to raise about eschewing meat is, how spiritual is

it to be sick and unhealthy all the time? I do not disagree that eating

meat " seems " unspiritual, heavy, not light and lovely like eating rice and

tempeh. I was very judgemental of my mother and sister for years for eating

meat. I always thought of them as being " less spiritual " than me.

They may not have the same kind of awareness that I have, but neither of

them have had the kinds of constant health issues that I have either. For

whatever hardness meat has given them it's also given them a lot of strength

and determination which I honestly have lacked.

I'm starting to consider the idea that it's spiritual to eat in a way that

supports one's nature or highest good, not in a way that is dictated by the

mainstream.

Hi ,

Is this a rhetorical question you're asking yourself? Or was this

directed toward Elize? Eating red meat is not right for everyone,

and therefore not everyone is sick and unhealthy as a result of not

eating red meat. And consider possibility that going against your

own spiritual beliefs can make you sick and unhealthy.

While I have many health issues, eating red meat is not the solution

for me. I've tried it, and I get a headache so bad it feels like

someone has driven a spike into my skull. Plus, I get so weak and

tired, I can barely stand up. Who knows...maybe it upsets me to eat

red meat on a spiritual level, and that causes a physical reaction.

And for a lot of people, not eating red meat DOES support their

nature and highest good. Every body is different! :)
