Vegetarianism
[email protected]
Lisa, I don't believe the problem was with this guy not eating meat, its because we are the only speices on the face of the earth that cooks and processes our foods. Cooked food is toxic to our bodies, along with our food choices. See http://www.rawfood.com for starters. I was a vegetarian for 7 years before I went all raw foods and being raw makes a big difference! Therefore, if your going to eat meat, eat it raw or dehydrated or sun-dri it in temp. less than 107 degrees to keep the enzymes in tact. Robin<<Also, in the book Foods for Healing there is an essay by a couple who tried to live as vegetarians for years. It began to adversely affect the husband's health. Animal protein seems to be necessary for some biochemistries.>>

Dear everyone,
Being new to all of this, I'm finding it so interesting that we all seem
to be drawn to so many of the same things. I became a vegetarian about
5 months ago - my body just started rejecting meat. I thought it might
be related to practicing Yoga - which I had started about 9 months
before.

I am responding to your post on the unschooling.com list privately, to avoid
any "off-topic" subjects onlist.
I wanted to let you know that (1) I like your posts (aggressive though they
may be interpreted); and (2) you HAVE, single-handedly, converted me BACK to
vegetarianism.
I had originally become a practicing vegetarian based solely on an experience
suffered through in eighth grade biology class. After about ten years, I
"reverted" back to non-vegetarianism.
Oh, the ghosts that are reanimated by this discussion!
Sincerely,
Kate Davis

Being a vegetarian nowadays, one doesn't need to feel deprived of eating
meat at all! There are so many meat-like substitute out there.
Well, maybe there is no real substitute for a thick, rare steak dripping
with "juice" (eewww!), or that unmistakeable gristle found in your hamburger
or how about that inedible glob of fat that you must spit out because it's
like chewing gum? <g>
Sorry folks - I'm just remembering my meat-eating days and why I turned
vegetarian about 20 years ago! :-)

[I have been vegetarian since last May, with a couple
of short months of being vegan. I expected to feel so
much better. I didn't. I ate the low fat, vegetarian
foods (McDougall plan, which I still think is
healthy).
But I found myself having to go "off the plan" because
I was so hungry and I wanted something with fat in
it.]
But that's the "McDougall PLAN"....very different from
choosing to eat veg*n meals/snacks.
I chose to become vegetarian 12 years ago and vegan
about 7 ago. In our house vegetarian/vegan definitely
does not equal no/low fat foods. We eat plenty of
wholesome "fatty" foods like avocados, coconut, olives
and olive oil, nuts and seeds, etc.
There are lots of fats that our bodies need in order
to function so if you're cutting them all out then
you're body is going to lack in some vital things like
Essential Fatty Acids, etc. HTH :)
