Cancer and Meat

[Guest guest]

According to many studies, there is as much as a 40% increase in

cancers in meat eaters compared to vegetarians. There are many

reasons for cancers. However to assume that vegetarianism is somehow

the culprit because you know vegetarians who have cancer would not

hold up in the lab! One major component of cancer-aside from karma-

is preservatives. That is the first ingredient that cancer doctors

recommend eliminating from the diet. Animals are injected with every

witch doctor item available in addition to being fed foods that they

normally do not even eat. They are often sick due to this. Not to

mention all the other things others have mentioned. I know it can be

hard not to eat meat. But it has become easier when I remember their

suffering. I think of the cute soft nose of a cow. How smart a pig

is-smarter than a dog! And so on....

 

It is funny in that I used to be chased by an entire herd of Black

Angus when I was young-about 8 yrs old, -I'd visit my uncle's farm

to pick blackberries and had to cross the field where they would

graze. When they saw me coming, the began to trot and eventually all

starting running after me. AFter I would jump a fence, then they

would all just casually graze next to me. It was so bizarre! My

cousins didn't believe it until they joined me in being chased!

LOL..ok, got off track here. I often wondered what that meant. I

guess that the cows wanted me out of there! LOL...

 

I loved Amma's quote on meat. This hit me at an incredily timely

moment. I had been a vegetarian before off and on-not eating

anything with a face as Paul McCartney would say. And I had been

feeling that it was one sort of last thing I really needed to change

(ok, one of MANY!LOL). As I had that idea, bingo, I receive an email

from PETA telling me about the horrific treatment of the cattle.

Overnight I was just about cured of eating meat. Then I wondered if

maybe I could eat fish as overnight change-as Amma mentions, it not

too easy. I come home from work to find another email (from

Amma in my mind)-this from PETA also. A marine biologist had written

about the different personalities of groupers and fish. He said he

wouldn't eat his friend and could not see eating the fish because

they were as diverse as people. sigh...So I felt that

Amma had spoken-to me, at least. It has been challenging to try to

remember what or how I ate before when I was vegetarian. I know I

was incredibly healthy. At least here, in America, the choices to

eat healthy as a vegetarian are enormous. So I am slowly getting

there on what to eat.

 

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts on this topic. It's funny how

this was all over the group when the issue had just hit home for me.
