Hi everyone,
this is an excerpt from an email session i was having with my friend bob this summer on topic for our discussion
and yes...i'm feeling a little lazy to write
"It seems we never hear people who are supporting an animal product diet talking about god/consciousness. in fact usually we hear it in context of how much better we will be able to look or compete or physically enjoy, medicinally it is only incorporated to help us survive and sustain here in the physical realm...it is interesting
the other thought I had was that we never hear about transcendent experiences coming from the effect of eating meat or dairy products where pretty much every plant serves to heal in some way and there are of course many plant forms that people have used to have complete consciousness altering
experiences
now, in my personal experience, I was a vegetarian for 15
years...during that time I stopped competing in sports almost
immediately, gained weight, and felt tired often and had no material drive but I also discovered yoga, acupuncture and herbal medicine,
meditation etc
during the last 3-4 years I added meat into my diet. I began to
exercise more intensely . lost weight (the more meat I ate in
proportion to grain/veg) and made more money
so we can see there are pros and cons to each scenario and of course
there were other pressing factors/choices impacting the outcomes but you get my drift. "
