What's so bad about meat? For lebasi

[Guest guest]

There is also a great video from an environmental/religious perspective call A

Sacred Duty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9RxmTGHZgE.  Most of is quite

beautiful, though there are some very graphic feedlot shots towards the end.

There are a TON of great books out there that will give the story

about the dangers of meat eating. There are also videos/DVD's by

physicians like Dr. John McDougall and Dr. Joel Fuhrman, available on

their websites (their books are excellent, too!). Fat is definitely

not the only issue when it comes to meat! Mad Cow Disease IS in this

country, despite our government's assurances to the contrary.

 

Cows and other animals are fed all sorts of drugs and other things

that then pass to us through eating them. Diseased animals are used

for food in supermarkets every day--it is NOT all inspected and found

disease free before it is sold to the public!

 

The fat is not the only source of cholesterol in animals. The meat

itself contains cholesterol. Dairy products, of course, too, as well

as eggs.

 

Here are some good books I have that might give a better picture:

 

Diet for a New America by John Robbins--an older book, but still

relevant today--mostly from a compassionate/ environmental viewpoint

The Undigestible Truth About Meat by Dr. Gina Shaw

The Vegan Diet as Chronic Disease Prevention by Kerrie Saunders

Mad Cowboy by Howard Lyman--he's a former cattle rancher, now vegan,

who testified at Oprah's trial against the beef industry

The China Study by T. Colin Campbell and Thomas M. Campbell--

excellent comprehensive long term study on health and diet

The Power Of Your Plate by Neal Barnard, MD--Dr. B is the head of the

Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine

Food for Life by Neal Barnard, MD

 

These are just the secular/health or environmentally oriented books.

There are also several excellent Christian books I have that urge

people to eat vegan diets for religious reasons. And there are also

numerous books out there on the dangers of dairy products.

Now, Marilyn - do share the titles of the Christian books, please!

Are you saying that these books might have the answer to the

comment " BUT THE BIBLE SAYS WE ARE TO EAT ANIMALS! " I don't know the

bible well enough yet to respond to this comment.

Yes, Hilary, there are answers to that question from the Bible. I didn't

originally post that list because I was limited on time, and I didn't know if

anyone wanted it. But someone did e me offlist and ask, and I compiled a list

for her. Here's what I wrote:

 

We're going to be relocating soon, probably to eastern PA or mid-FL.

Consequently, many of my books are already in storage. I did leave a bunch out,

though. Here are the few I thought might be relevant for you, written from a

Christian perspective. Hope something here is helpful! Marilyn

 

You Don't Have to be Sick! by Rev. George Malkmus --Rev. M. runs Hallelujah

Acres (_www.hacres.com_ (http://www.hacres.com/) ). This little booklet is

available at their website, as are the following books (and a bunch of other

great books, DVD's, and other items):

 

Why Christians Get Sick by Dr. George H. Malkmus

Winning the Battle for the Body by Douglas D. Polk

God's Way to Ultimate Health by Dr. George H. Malkmus and Michael Dye

 

Also good:

 

In the Beginning God Said Eat Raw Food by William D. Scott--I think I got

this one through amazon.com

 

Good News for All Creation by Stephen R. Kaufman and Nathan Braun--I bought

this one at a Christian Vegetarian conference a couple of years ago. Available

through CVA?

 

Homemade Health by Raymond and Dorothy Moore--I think I got this through the

Moore's website years ago, but it's probably available on amazon.com .

Let me second a suggestion Marilyn had in her list of books on this

topic - I am reading The China Study right now and it is AMAZING how

obvious it has become that eating meat is not right for our bodies.

I feel like my jaw is continuously dropping as I go through this

book. It's a little bit of a tough read if you aren't familiar with

biology but I can tell that he has put a lot of effort in explaining

things in a way that the average person can understand.

 

Now, Marilyn - do share the titles of the Christian books, please!
