It confirms everything my mother has been telling me about meat products in our industrialized era.

Correct me if I’m wrong but, sadly, everything that has been said about meat equally applies to vegetables. In order to produce more vegetables (and yes, make more $$$), in any kind of climate and condition, farmers not only plant genetically modified seeds but also pour tons of chemical fertilizers on the crop. Imagine the effect this has on the soil which is then reused to plant more crop. Sure the veggies look amazing, bright in colour and defectless in shape, but do they really hold any nutrients?

If you think you know what a real tomato or apple tastes or even smells like, think again.

Let’s not mention the 2% milk we drink which tastes like water…

Up to 100 years ago people used to die from tuberculosis and flu, nowadays you get the cancer of this the cancer of that and we all wonder why.

Hi Raymond,

Fantastic addition! I would definitely agree that this is VERY true. We are what we eat, and most in our world have yet to discover how much and what, other than nutrients and calories is passed on from living being to living being in the consuming process.

There’s a saying that goes “You can’t get healthy eating sick animals.” I tend to think this may be true.

Are animals raised to make red meat treated worse than white meat?

Dear Shauna

Thank you for your beautiful and valuable comment. You have shared so well how our bodies do react to the different foods and substances we eat and more people are awakening to eating in the most compassionate way for all of creation, all the animals and plants and beings on this planet.

I wish you all the best on your personal journey, it sounds like you are in such a wonderful place and know exactly how to proceed for your health and the welfare of the planet! Thank you!

I just want to say thank you to Evita for her answer to Summer’s question. That was just what I needed to hear! Thank you. I also want to share with people some of the bad effects that eating animal products has on us, but I want to do it in a way that doesn’t offend anybody. I have just recently made a commitment to stop eating animal products, because of what they were doing to me personally. We really are what we eat. I notice a huge difference in every area of my life when I don’t eat meat. I am more focoused mentally, physically, and spiratually when I don’t eat meat or animal products. I was taking a powdered drink that had caffine and creatine. For two years I was addicted to this garbage! Now thanks to God, he has freed me from this life draining substance, that I thought was giving me energy. Now I want to be free from any animal products and eat the way God designed from the beginning. He definately knows best. He knows how to make us happy beyond anything we can imagine! Thanks so much for all you do to help people!

Hi Kevin

Excellent point and thank you for adding it through your comment here.

I have seen and reviewed Forks Over Knives and it is fantastic! I definitely highly recommend this film to anyone who is serious about their health and looking at food in a new light. We have evolved today to be more compassionate not only towards other beings, but also to ourselves, our bodies and taking better care of them.

All the best!

I scanned the comments and I didn’t notice anyone mention this but forgive me if I’m repeating it. There is a documentary called “fork over knifes” which discusses the impact a meat diet is having on our health. Statistics are provided showing how countries with a low meat diet have significantly lower incidence of cardiovascular diseases than countries with high meat diets. It should not surprise anyone that the good old USA is on the high end

Hi Summer,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about this topic.

It is definitely difficult, especially at first to learn how the animals in our world are treated and how our health can suffer because of these animal products. We have evolved so much in technological ways, yet spiritually we seem to be lagging in a major way. So I hear you and understand your frustration.

As you continue on your personal journey you will learn that each person has their own journey and although we may feel like we know what would be best for them, in truth we never do. Your parents often think they know what is best for you, but I am sure you would see it differently. The same goes the other way. We cannot change others, or expect them to change. This only leads to heartache, anger, resentment and pain for you and the other people involved. The only and best thing we can do, is be the change we wish to see. The most important thing is to focus on oneself and be a shining light, a beacon of inspiration for others.

Therefore, I know you love your family very much, and would not want to see them sick, but one of the most loving things we can do is allow each person to have their own experience. This is the only way each one of us can grow and evolve. Each person has to make the decisions that suit them at their personal level of evolution. What each of us can do, is simply offer some inspiration, that IF the others are interested there is another way. But if not, we will unconditionally love them and allow them to have their way.

You are on a great path Summer. Don’t allow anyone to discourage you or make your journey harder than it has to be. Enjoy the benefits of your choices and as your life continues to unfold you will come to find more people who resonate with your choices. Never hold anything against anyone for not following your path. Simply be the light that shines for others to show them a different path, whether they decide to follow that path or not, has to in the end be entirely up to them.

Wishing you all the best :)
