Guest guest Posted February 26, 2000 Report Share Posted February 26, 2000 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.] RPd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
