Guest guest Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 I went on the Gerson website (gerson dot org) - you are correct- excellent suggestion for a new life giving way to eat. I thought I would respond after seeing this on the website that you referred us to (following words directly from the website of the American nightmare to (just maybe) help anyone who might be on the fence about changing their diet. " Summation: Without grain, livestock cannot be fed. Without livestock there is no meat. Without bees, vegetables and fruit cannot grow. Without all three, a nation cannot survive. " It is inefficient to grow grains and other feed crops for animals— only a small fraction of what we feed them is actually turned into flesh that humans can eat. The vast majority is used by the animal to live and grow. The highly respected Worldwatch Institute says, " In a world where an estimated one in every six people goes hungry each day, the politics of meat consumption are increasingly heated, since meat production is an inefficient use of grain—the grain is used more efficiently when consumed directly by humans. Continued growth in meat output is dependent on feeding grain to animals, creating competition for grain between affluent meat-eaters and the world's poor. " And just for your info. . .Cows are gentle giants, large in size but sweet in nature. They are curious, clever animals who have been known to go to amazing lengths to escape from slaughterhouses. These very social animals prefer to spend their time together, and they form complex relationships, very much like dogs form packs. Like all animals, cows form strong maternal bonds with their children, and on dairy farms and cattle ranches, mother cows can be heard crying out for their calves for days after they are separated. In the U.S., more than 41 million of these sensitive animals suffer and die for the meat and dairy industries every year. 1 When they are still very young, cows are burned with hot irons (branding), their testicles are ripped out of their scrotums (castration), and their horns are cut or burned off—all without painkillers. Once they have grown big enough, they are sent to massive, muddy feedlots to be fattened for slaughter or to dairy farms where they are shot with growth hormones (and we wonder why we are getting bigger and bigger and our childen bodies are maturing much earlier) and fed with excessive amounts of antibiotics (we wonder why we are not reswponding to antibiotics and why there are now antibiotic immune super bugs) and where they will be repeatedly impregnated and separated from their calves until their bodies give out and they are sent to die. Cattle raised for beef are usually born in one state, fattened in another, and slaughtered in yet another. They are transported hundreds of miles in all weather extremes to the slaughterhouse. Many cows die on the way to slaughter, and those who survive are shot in the head with a bolt gun, hung up by their legs, and taken onto the killing floor, where their throats are cut and they are skinned. Some cows remain fully conscious throughout the entire process—according to one slaughterhouse worker, in an interview with the Washington Post, " they die piece by piece. " Thanks for considering!

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Oh yes - cows are beautiful and wonderful creatures - did you ever see that woman with personality problems who related to cows and spent hours with them to calm herself down? An amazing progamme recently on TV here in Oz - your words took me back also to that wonderful book " Diet for a Small Planet " - I've been vegetarian since the 50's so you are speaking to the converted - but it was good to read that you also enjoy the creatures rather than their flesh, Best, Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I agree that the way animals are treated by large corporations is deplorable, but I can't say that this would be evidence to stop eating meat. I have just finished reading " Nutrition and Physical Degeneration " by Weston A. Price and it is clear that in order to have teeth free from cavities, strong bones, and overall good health, humans require animal protein (www.westonaprice.org). Even the Gerson diet promotes the use of injectable crude liver extract. I think the answer lies in sustainable farming practices, not giving up animal products. , " Ma Nithya Meetaa " <colonics4health wrote: > > I went on the Gerson website (gerson dot org) - you are correct- > excellent suggestion for a new life giving way to eat.
