You Are what you Eat … (03/01/14)
There is a saying that reminds us: “You are what you eat” … To the degree that this statement is true (and I would submit that it IS in large part accurate), then I will also gently remind us of the following:
*that whenever you eat eggs, you ingest fear … and thereby become more frightened;
*that every time you eat or drink dairy products, you ingest sadness … and thereby become more depressed;
*& that every time you eat meat, you ingest aggression … and thereby become more cowardly, more angry and more violent.
We are indeed what we eat, my Friends, and this saying becomes literally true at the very least during those moments we are doing our eating … So let us therefore all have the decency to eat Peace-fully, and thereby live in Peace.
Amen … Let it be so.
“To advocate the rights of animals is far more than to plead for compassion or justice towards the victims of ill-usage; it is not only for the sake of the victims that we plead, but also for the sake of humankind itself. Our true civilization, our race-progress, our humanity (in the best sense of the term) are all concerned in this development; for it is ourselves that we wrong when we trample on the rights of those fellow-beings, human or animal, over whom we chance to hold jurisdiction.” ~ Henry Salt
