Thanks. This is pretty hilarious, both your post, and the article. I needed some

humor.

Thanks for that. You have some great links in this Aquarius article

(including one cholesterol and health). You have some great insight,

and I really enjoyed reading about happy animal foods and some of the

food ideas (especially now that food is back in my life, lol). I also

believe humane treatment of livestock is so important, so I am glad

you brought that up. What these animals eat and how they live

influences our health when we eat them.

I do have a question, though, about this:

" Since the Aquarius symbol is a human, it isn't a stretch to consider

eating more pork - from happy pigs of course. Pigs are biologically

similar to humans and are considered a tonic in traditional Chinese

medicine for this reason. They also score high on intelligence tests

for animals. "

I have only recently been eating pork. Pigs ARE very similar to

humans. Many diseases are shared, which is why I shunned it for so

long. Well, that and my term of vegetarianism. It is true that many

east Asians eat ample pork. I was unaware that they considered it a

tonic because of the similarities. Do you know more about why this is so?

Vibrantly,

Deanna

Hi Deanna,

Thanks for reading and commenting. I am not an expert on Chinese

medicine. Many things are considered tonic. According to

acupuncture.com, pork " moistens and nourishes organs, tonifies chi,

strengthens the middle burner. " Another book I have on " Chinese Food

Cures " recommends pork for " diabetes, underweight, dry cough,

constipation. " The average person eating pork may not say it is for

tonic qualities. I couldn't find an online reference to the human

similarity concept. But it makes sense that if pork flesh is similar

to our chemical makeup, we could make good use of it.

cheers,

I have a question too.

Isn't anyone worried that associating claptrap like astrology with

sound nutritional science will undermine the credibility of our sound

nutritional science in the minds of the undecided and

uneducated? (And when I say 'uneducated' I simply mean uneducated on

the topic of sound nutritional science.)
