Re: [EF!] Public Lands Cattle Contribute to Global Warming

 

Greetings George. Looking at your site, this hit me straight away:

 

" cows were important to God and to the children of God, for they

provided essential protein for his people. "

My response..

 

Genesis 1:29 And God said: 'Behold, I have given you every herb

yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree,

in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed -- to you it shall be

for food;

 

'It is the position of the American Dietetic Association and Dietitians

of Canada that appropriately planned vegetarian diets are healthful,

nutritionally adequate and provide health benefits in the prevention

and treatment of certain diseases.

'William C. Roberts, M.D., Professor and Director of the Baylor

University Medical Center, and Editor in Chief of the American

Journal of Cardiology, stated in this peer-reviewed journal,

 

Thus, although we think we are one and we act as if we are one,

human beings are not natural carnivores. When we kill animals to

eat them, they end up killing us because their flesh, which contains

cholesterol and saturated fat, was never intended for human beings,

who are natural herbivores.[11]

Frugivores. See: http://www.iol.ie/~creature/BiologicalAdaptations.htm

 

Essene New Testament, Lection LXXV:

 

10. In the beginning, God gave to all, the fruits of the trees, and the

seeds, and the herbs, for food; but those who loved themselves

more than God, or their fellows, corrupted their ways, and brought

diseases into their bodies, and filled the earth with lust and violence.

" Isn't man an amazing animal? He kills wildlife by the millions to

protect his domestic animals and their feed. Then he kills domestic

animals by the billions and eats them. This in turn kills man by the

millions, because eating all those animals leads to degenerative -

and fatal - health conditions like heart disease, kidney disease, and

cancer. So then man tortures and kills millions more animals to look

for cures for these diseases. Elsewhere, millions of other human

beings are being killed by hunger and malnutrition because food

they could eat is being used to fatten domestic animals. Meanwhile,

some people are dying of sad laughter at the absurdity of man, who

kills so easily and so violently, and once a year sends out cards

praying for " Peace on Earth. " -- C. David Coates
