Hi Slink,
The problem with experimenting on yourself is keeping the study clean. Sadness might be caused by many different factors. Like you said, how you felt today might also be affected by garlic or overeating. It's not easy to keep the rest of the factors stable while experimenting on yoruself, but it's very important!
The mind of a human is a complex thing and emotions like sadness can be generated from so many sources. It might not have come right from the animal but from your ideas about eating that animal. If you eat cooked meat usually, I don't see how the sadness would suddenly be generated just because the animal was not cooked. The life was taken anyway, and if you were feeling the spirit of the animal, it would stand to reason that you would have felt that of a dead animal whether cooked or not. You might have judgments about eating raw meat that are coming up - or perhaps you were sad that you hadn't gotten what you needed before, or perhaps your body has enough energy to allow the sadness to come up as in a detox. I wouldn't jumpt to any conclusions about where that sadness was coming from so quickly. You might be right, but then, you might not - unless of course this was a real strong feeling/intuition you had. That's a whole different story.
No one seems to be talking about eggs!!!! Eggs are a perfect protein. It's the protein by which all other proteins are judged. Also, as someone once said to me, an egg is a short term project for a bird, whereas chicken meat is a life commitment on behalf of the chicken!
I've owned birds and eggs come and go and many birds lay them all the time even if not fertilized. I find raw eggs extremely digestable. They don't have quite the same issues as raw meat for many people and their digestion. You don't have to kill anything, you can just use those apposable thumbs to grab the egg and break it open!
DH, your list was quite impressive, although some things weren't pertinent and one thing at least is not correct - my dogs can bury bones with meat on them, dig them up a month later, worms and bugs and all, eat them, and never get sick. Carnivores can handle things that would sound absolutely disgusting to us and would make us deathly ill. But all the same, a very interesting list. If you go to Raw Guru's question about why we eat raw, I wrote out something that I think you might find interesting.
All the same, think about humans eating twinkies and coke and all that plastic stuff. We can handle amazing things too. We are omnivores like dogs. When we need to eat outside our comfort range we can do it. Perhaps because of certain imbalances Slink needs to eat outside of the ideal for humans.
Slink, let me ask you something if you don't mind. You talk about doing sports only on meat. How did you feel physically, emotionally, spiritually when eating meat vs not? Would you tell us more about your experience in more detail? When you didn't eat meat where did you get your protein from? How did you feel other than not exercising physically when a vegetarian? Were you vegan or vegetarian and were all your other foods healthy choices?
Interesting conversation indeedy.
