Guest guest Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Well, I wrote to my friend who gave me the soy alert article asking what she knew of the Weston Price Foundation and their ties to meat and dairy farming. She sent me a " Letter from Weston Price, " which states their case very clearly. Rather than forwarding I have saved it as rich text and attached it. That way, if you are going to be offended by someone who is promoting the eating of meat, you just don't need to open it. He lines out many arguments against the arguments of vegetarians in general, but I have more arguments for him if I was so inclined. I want to be clear that I in no way agree with the perspective the foundation puts forward. I did, however, find there to be some interesting information about dietary concerns surrounding grains and soy. This little tidbit in the middle somewhere was worth the read. In general, the foundation seems to be coming from an ethical standpoint. I just don't agree with the meat eating thing. Also, it seems, the tone at the outset was a little " in your face. " I hope someone gives it a read so you can let me know if you agree or not. Bridget " Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds.

Could it be that the server does not accept attachments?

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Correct, our group does not allow attachments. If anyone wishes to share an article, post the URL in the links section of the group. Thank you. My personal opinion on the soy " scare " alerts: they are typically spread by groups that lean toward anti-vegetarian. I don't think most people have to worry about eating soy now and then. A few people have food sensitivities, and should be aware of what those are and plan their diets accordingly. I do not want new vegetarians getting scared off or to get the impression that being a vegetarian is dangerous or difficult. On the contrary, being a vegetarian is simple, natural for humans and quite easy to accomplish with all of the wonderful recipes and advice shared here. ~ PT ~ , " Izaskun Milani Orkwis " <Izaskun wrote: > > I don't know if I am doing something wrong but I could not find the > attachment to your message.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Being a vegetarian is very easy. I am glad to read this list is not about soy debates or about spreading scare articles that make vegetarianism seem like a mystical accomplishment or some intense change in which one needs to become a dietician to pull off. - Gaia , " ~ PT ~ " <patchouli_troll wrote: > My personal opinion on the soy " scare " alerts: > they are typically spread by groups that > lean toward anti-vegetarian.
