Milk from a protected cow does a soul good

[Guest guest]

Note: so far nobody's responded to the questions regarding Krishna's

cowherding.

 

Has anyone noticed that Westbrae organic soy milk is $6.36/gallon at Trader

Joe's? Almond Milk is $7.56/gallon at Whole Foods?

 

Another issue to be addressed in regards to milk is the health issue.

"Extensive research" has shown the deleterious health effects of milk.

 

Has anyone read "The Argument Against Dairy Products" in Fit for Life? Fit for

Life describes how proteins and starches cannot be digested together without

great difficulty. In their second book, Fit for Life II, the Diamonds say that

their research has shown that tofu (a protein) is digestible with starches.

Because tofu is curd, one might presume that milk curd could be eaten with

starches. Does anyone KNOW anything about the digestibility of dairy products

with starches?

 

I think the tendency to enjoy dairy products is like the tendency of a man to

enjoy a young woman. We love cows when they're young and productive, but we

try to get out of the responsibility of caring for them when they're older.

"We are all trying to exploit the resources of material nature, but we are

becoming more and more entangled in her complex cities." Material nature. The

Latin word "mater" means "mother." As explained in Bhagavad-gita, there is one

purusa (person) who enjoys prakriti (material nature).

 

Unfortunately, when idiots like myself endeavor to enjoy that material nature,

they cause disturbances. Therefore, Krishna spoke the Bhagavad-gita, and

Shrila Prabhupada translated it to remind us: "the essence of the

Bhagavad-gita is to try to satisfy Krishna's senses, not our own personal

senses."

 

In order to satisfy Krishna's senses, I believe we must look past the

immediate sense gratification of sex and food (eating & mating) and realize

the other side of the coin: austerity and compassion.

 

I should also mention that I'm all talk, but maybe my body will follow my

tongue.

 

Srila Prabhupada: "We're all going to hell for one reason." [He points to his

tongue.]
