Key concepts: cows, beef and violence
(NaturalNews) Greetings everyone, this is Mike Adams, the Health Ranger,
here re****ting for www.Naturalnews.com. I am currently in the rainforest
of Southern Ecuador, high in the Andes Mountains. I am not joking. I am
actually in a bamboo rainforest here. It is raining so I am under some
shelter right now. Unfortunately, I am discussing a topic that is not so
pleasant. I am here to talk to you today about the beef slaughterhouse
scandal that was discovered in California.
This is about the Westland Meat Packing Company, one of many
slaughterhouses that operate in the United States. These companies are in
the business of torturing and murdering cows and anything they can do
to get the meat off those cows. You see there is a rule the USDA has that
says you cannot take what is called a non-ambulatory cow and put it into
the food supply.
That rule is designed to protect American consumers because
non-ambulatory cows -- meaning cows that cannot walk -- are often
diseased. Why else would they not be able to walk? What the USDA
is not telling you, and what the beef industry does not want you to know,
is that most of the time these diseased cows have "Mad Cow Disease."
Mad Cow Disease is a neurological disorder. It is not a parasite,
bacteria,
or even a virus. It is actually a "prion." It is called a "folded protein"
and
it turns nervous systems into mush. It actually turns a working,
functioning
brain into a pile of nervous-system gel that does not function anymore.
If a little bit of this leaks out of the cow's carcass and gets into the
meat,
it can be mixed into literally thousands of different hamburgers, hotdogs,
or other processed meats. I mean, one cow can be in thousands of
different products. They say that one hamburger can have parts from
hundreds or even thousands of different cows.
All of this is mixed together including possibly the spinal fluid or some
brain matter from the carc***** of these cows. That is made into the
hamburgers, taco meat, soup meat, processed meat, beef jerky and, of
course, school lunch program meat not to mention dog food, which is
even one grade below all of that.
This particular slaughterhouse in California was caught on camera;
secret videos put out by the Humane Society show the incredible
torture that was being done to these cows. I am not going to describe
it all because it is too sad. It is too disturbing, but let us just say
they
did everything in their power to try to get these cows into the
processing lines.
They used forklifts. They used cattle prods. They used all kinds of
other extremely cruel and inhumane methods to get those cows into the
processing lines, which would put them into the human food supply.
And they did. TI think an estimated 37 million pounds of that beef
from that same plant went to school lunch programs around the
country including school lunches in the state of New York.
What happens there? Of course, schoolchildren eat the beef. They are
potentially exposed to Mad Cow Disease. It is im****tant to know that
Mad Cow Disease is not destroyed by cooking. You can cook that
contaminated meat all you want and it does not destroy Mad Cow
Disease.
If you eat a cooked hamburger that was contaminated with that spinal
fluid, you can get Mad Cow Disease the same as if it were raw meat.
Do not think that cooking the meat makes it safe from this particular
disease. When these schoolchildren eat this beef, they can begin to
show signs of nervous system malfunction.
We have many behavioral disorders in this country: Alzheimer's
disease skyrocketing among the elderly. Violence among young people
happening more and more. I will talk about the link between beef and
violence here in a few minutes, but for now, it is just im****tant to know
that people can be exposed to Mad Cow Disease. Does Mad Cow
Disease infect humans? Sure it does. You can get the human form of
Mad Cow Disease, which is called CJD.
Now, mainstream medicine does not know much about CJD. They
are rather mystified by it just as they are mystified by diabetes and
cancer. They are not too bright when it comes to disease and they do
not know what CJD is actually just a human form of Mad Cow Disease.
You can get it from eating wild deer, for example, which are infected
with Mad Cow Disease. You can also get it from eating infected cows
that were pushed into the slaughterhousejust as we saw on these secret
videos. If you have courage and the stomach for it -- I do not
recommend that you do this but if you do and want to see pictures or
the videos -- go to the Humane Society's website.
I do not personally wish to view these videos because I have a lot of
compassion for these animals. I wish that other human beings would
share that same level of compassion. Cows are mammals. They have
memories. They have consciousness. They have awareness. They have
families -- children, parents. I have been around cows.
Cows are living beings, not meat
My grandfather was a cattle rancher and even though he, too, was
slaughtering the cows for food consumption, he at least raised them in
a field where they ate fresh grass. They had fresh air, clean water, and
free movement. They were truly, truly healthy cows. I spent quite a bit
of time around cows in my youth. That was way before I even knew
anything about nutrition, red meat, health impacts, environmental
impacts or any of these other things. I was oblivious to all that back
then.
I ate a lot of meat in those days. I used to eat beef all the time! It
always rather disturbed me to think that these cows look nice to me.
Why are we eating them? Why do we need to do that? When you are
a kid, you do not really question things as much as you hopefully do
when you are an adult. I just went along with it and ate beef for many,
many years even while coming to understand cows as living, breathing
creatures.
I mean we actually had names for the cows. We had names for the
young when theywere born. If you have never seen a cow give birth,
you should. It gives you a completely new appreciation for life and
the creation of life. Watching a cow give birth is a beautiful experience
you will never forget.
At some level you may think, "Gee, it is gross," but it is just like a
human birth. Behind all of that, it is the miracle of life happening right
in front of you. It really gives you an appreciation for the complexity
of the experiences and the consciousness of other mammals.
Cows are mammals just as we are. I mean, we give live birth to our
children. They nurse from mother's milk and cows work the same
way. They give live birth, their children nurse from them. They have
very strong relation****ps with their young and they have very strong
relation****ps with their family members.
I believe it is extremely cruel and unethical, not only to treat cows
with the kind of cruelty that was observed in these videos but even
to just use cows as a food source. I think that is cruel! I think that
mammals should never be used as a food source. I do not eat meat
from mammals.
How our point of view dictates our eating habits
I do eat some fish. I think in time I will probably be able to let that
go as well. I choose fish because I know they are much lower in
intelligence with a far less complex mental function. Although, I do
understand that fish feel pain. That has been proven in certain studies.
We know that fish are, in fact, aware at some level of consciousness
but I do know that they are, of course, a lower level consciousness
than a cow.
If I have to eat meat in order to sustain my own tissues in my own body
to accomplish some things that are im****tant in my life, I am definitely
going to choose to eat it from an animal of far lower awareness and
lower consciousness -- not higher consciousness. That is one reason
why I avoid eating mammals, which includes cows, pigs, sheep, and
dogs, -- all of those animals.
It is funny, many people think, "Well, gee, it would be crazy to eat a
horse or a dog. We would never eat a dog. That would be cruel" or
"We would never eat a horse. How cruel is that?" Well, there is no
difference between eating a horse and eating a cow. Horses and cows
have almost the exact same intelligence. I know that some horse
owners out there might disagree and say, "Well, my horse is smarter
than the cow." That is because you trained your horse!
If you train the cow, the cow is very similar to the horse. Cows seem
stupid to people because no one teaches them anything. It is just like
if you take a dog and teach them nothing. He does not know much.
Well, horses get a lot of good treatment, good training, a lot of time
and effort put into them, so they seem a lot more intelligent.
In reality, they have very similar intelligence. In fact, the size of the
brain
of a cow and a horse is very similar; the entire anatomy is very similar.
When people say, "Well, gee, I want to eat cows," I say, "Well, why do
you not eat horses?" I like to get people and to ask these im****tant
questions about their reality.
Look at things from a different point of view. Why not eat a horse?
They say, "Well, that would be cruel," but eating a cow is not cruel.
They say, "Yes, that is fine." The only reason that they can say that and,
by the way, if you eat cows this is undoubtedly true for you -- the only
reason you can say that is that you have never been to a slaughterhouse.
You have never actually met your meat, so to speak. You have never
seen what really happens back there. If you did, you would give it up
immediately.
Using terminology to disassociate from the animals
There is no way that a conscious, compassionate, and intelligent human
being can observe what happens in a slaughterhouse and continue to eat
that meat. The only way that humans can consume beef and ****k
products today is because they are able to disassociate from the animal.
They do not even call cow meat - "cow meat." They just call it beef.
This is a completely different word. Pig products, of course, are not
called pig. They are called ****k. They are reshaped into different,
isolated food names that further distances the food item from the
animal from which it came. For example, they call it sausage or
bacon. If you say the word bacon, it does not bring to mind or does
not invoke an animal. Bacon, in the minds of most consumers, is
something all by itself. It is completely isolated from its source.
When people talk about bacon, they say: "Let us cook up some bacon
for breakfast." They do not say "Let us eat pig flesh," even though that
would be the more accurate statement. Language reflects thought and
ideas. Through their language, they distance themselves from the reality
of where that meat comes from. Even if they started to use the language
of "Let us have pig rib meat for breakfast" or "Let us have cow flesh
for lunch between two slices of bread," they would still be distanced
from the reality of how those animals are treated. If you look at how
those animals are treated in the slaughterhouses, that is another aspect
of reality that consumers definitely do not want to acknowledge.
The connection between meat and emotion
Let us talk about the correlation between meat consumption and
human emotions. What you see in meat eaters - -especially beef eaters
-- is a lot of internal anger, fear and violence. Just look around. Pick
ten people that you know who eat a lot of meat and rate their level of
emotional stability, anger, fear, and violence.
Then take ten people who are vegetarians or vegans and do that same
exercise. Then compare those two groups of ten. You will find an
amazing correlation. All the people who eat plant-based diets --
vegetarians or vegans -- are non-violent. They are not angry. They do
not live in fear. They do not sup****t war and violence. They do not
treat others inhumanely. They probably love animals and I do not
mean love to eat them. I mean love to have them around.
They probably have pets. Maybe horses, or dogs and they treat other
living beings with compassion and with ethics. These are the vegans,
the vegetarians or the plant-based-diet people like me. Of course, I am
not on a 100% plant-based diet, but I eat a mostly plant-based diet.
Now, compare that to meat eaters, which is what I used to be. Meat
eaters are violent, and fearful. They sup****t war. They might own
many guns and like to use them. They might go hunting just so they
can kill an animal and put its trophy on their wall. That is a classic
behavior of meat-eating people. They sup****t all kinds of violent acts
by society.
For example, they typically sup****t the death sentence. They also
think that animals can be treated cruelly without any real consequences.
They do not believe in animal rights. They do not believe that animals
really have to be taken care of. They just rather believe that humans
can destroy, kill, torture and maim whatever they want -- even other
humans.
You see, their lack of compassion does not stop with animals. It also
extends to other people. That is why people who eat a lot of beef and
red meat also sup****t war. They have no problem with the U.S.
invading other countries, bombing civilians and killing tens of thousands
of people. They have no problem with it at all as long as they can eat
their steak and say, "Oh, we are fighting for freedom." That is very
characteristic of meat eaters.
Well, once you realize this correlation you might say: "What is behind
it?" How can meat consumption be correlated with such violence?
The answer is that tissues store emotions. You may not believe this
statement but hear me out). Now, how do you know this is true?
Well if you go to Google and search around for organ transplant
recipients, you will find many recipients who actually experience the
emotions of their organ donors. They are recipients of heart transplants
and liver transplants, for example. They actually experience the
memories of the donor who has long since passed away, obviously.
They experience the memories and the moods. They sometimes have
flashbacks from the other person. Modern medical science tends to
dismiss these re****ts because they do not understand them. It does
not fit the model of what they understand to be true. They just say,
"You are just imagining things." In reality, many people experience this.
It is because the tissues themselves -- the organs -- actually store
energy.
They store vibration. They store emotions. When you take a heart out
of one person and put it into another person, you begin to unleash the
emotional energy that was in the original heart organ. That is why the
recipient then begins to experience those emotions all over again.
This is also, by the way, why there are so many emotions tied to the
heart. What is Valentine's Day? The symbol is the heart. The heart
stands for love. It is because love can actually be stored energetically
inside the physical organ. It is an energetic vibration but it is
imprinted
in the tissues. That is why we say things like "I am saying this from my
heart."
Many English idioms and sayings use the heart to express emotion.
Well, this is no coincidence. It is because throughout human civilization,
observers have consistently noted that the heart is one source of
emotional energy. The truth is all the tissues and organs in your body
also
store emotional energy -- your liver, your skin, your muscles and flesh.
Even your blood stores emotional energy. You can see this if you look
back at certain ancient civilizations like here in South America -- Mayan
and Incan cultures and the Aztec north of here. There are also American
Indian cultures that also believe this. Many of these cultures believed in
consuming the organs of animals they killed for certain reasons -- to
give themselves the spirit of that animal, for example.
This, again, was not superstition. This has a very valid basis in reality.
When you eat the flesh of another animal or another being, you begin
to assimilate that same emotional energy. Does that make sense?
You see it in organ transplants. You have seen it throughout human
history. You see it in modern use of language. We know that energy
is stored in organs and when you eat those organs or the flesh of other
animals, you will assimilate whatever energies and emotions that were
imprinted in those tissues.
Emotional contamination of meat
Now, let us get back to the slaughterhouse. What emotions do you think
are imprinted in the cows and the pigs as they are being processed in the
slaughterhouse? Imprinted is extreme fear -- terror even of the violence
being committed against them -- in many cases while they are still alive.
All of this emotional energy is imprinted in their tissues. That meat
becomes contaminated with bad energy.
I mean it may pass USDA inspection. It is not contaminated with bacteria
and they do not test for emotional energy. They do not even know it
exists.
That meat is contaminated with violence. It is contaminated with terror,
fear, anger or hopelessness. Now, do you think it is a coincidence that
the
people in America today who are consuming these meat products also
share those same emotions?
They are violent. They are full of hopelessness. They are angry. They are
fearful and they keep eating more meat. Do you think that is a
coincidence?
Why does America sup****t so much war? Why are schools filled with so
much violence? Why is there so much violence on the streets of America?
Why is there so much fear? Why can the president so easily invoke fear
whenever he wants the population to sup****t some other ridiculous war
effort? Why are all these emotions so prevalent in American society?
It is very clear to me and to others who are holistically aware, that much
of this comes from the food. The meat is primarily responsible for that.
It is the angry meat. It is the fearful meat. It is the violence in the
meat
and the contamination of meat with bad energy. I hate to even utter some
of these words.
I would rather be uttering words like abundance, hope, creation,
creativity
and healing. These are the kind of words I would rather be saying right
now but sometimes these issues demand our attention. I feel it is
im****tant to help spread the word to make people aware of these links
between the energetically contaminated meats that you are consuming and
your own state of mind - and your own emotional state as well. They go
hand in hand.
Protecting yourself from contaminated meat
With that said, you might wonder, "Well, gee, what can I do? What can I
do to not expose myself to that kind of violent behavior or that kind of
violent energy? How can I protect myself and my family from energetically
contaminated meat?" The answer is really in two parts. The first part is
do
not eat mammals. That is simple actually. Do not eat cows. Do not sup****t
that industry. Do not sup****t that violence, torture, and cruelty against
animals. Do not eat meat and especially do not buy meat produced from
mammals. Red meat -- come on now, are we not past that yet in our society?
The second thing you could do is, if for some reason, you still want to
eat
meat, then at least go with cruelty-free meat. Now, is there actually such
a
thing? I do not think so because I think you still have to kill the animal
to
eat it, right? There is still some level of violence involved somewhere
along
the line. There is no such thing as a cow that was happily killed for its
meat.
All the free-range meat products have pictures of happy, happy cows on
the labels. Well, in reality, those should be pictures of dead cows should
they not? I mean cows with their throats slit. Let us be honest, the meat
is
not taken from living cows. It is not like the cow comes in from the field
frolicking along and then someone takes a knife and takes a big chunk of
steak out of the cow's hind quarter and then sends him back out into the
field, happily frolicking away. This is not how meat is created.
The cow is killed and even if it had a free-range existence, it is still
not
cruelty-free. There is a level of violence in all meat products. With that
said, what do you really do is turn to a plant-based diet. It is not cruel
to
take a leaf off a plant or to harvest the roots of a carrot plant. It is
not
cruel to farm plants. You can put them in the ground with the seeds. You
can let them grow and you can harvest them and save the seeds for the
next generation.
You pursue a plant-based diet in harmony with Mother Nature. Many of
these plants are created as sources of nutrition whereas cows, mammals,
and living creatures certainly are not simply created for us to consume
their flesh. That is ridiculous. Plants are a completely different story.
You can eat plants and you can replant them or you can eat part of a plant
and it will re-grow. A new leaf appears where the one was that you took.
A plant-based diet is the answer to avoiding bad energy.
Plants, by the way, do not have to be subjected to violence in order to
harvest and prepare them. When you are chopping lettuce for a salad,
you are not committing violence against that lettuce. You are just
chopping it, putting it into little smaller pieces. There is no pain
experienced by the lettuce. The lettuce is not bleeding. It is not gasping
for air as a mammal would if you were chopping it up.
The beauty of a plant-based diet
A plant is clearly created for non-violent purposes, and one of those
purposes is for consumption. In fact, many people who are fruitarians
believe you should only eat fruits and nuts because these are the things
that are clearly provided by the plants for human consumption. You do
not have to destroy the plant. You do not have to tear off a leaf or dig
up a root. You can just eat the fruits or nuts. These are the things
abundantly provided by Mother Nature.
Although I am not personally a fruitarian, I think that is a very
high-integrity
belief system to even avoid any potential cruelty to plants. Just eat
those
things that the plant has clearly provided in abundance such as fruits,
nuts,
and seeds. That is one way you can go about it and when you do that,
you will begin to notice that your own moods and energy begin to ****ft.
If you used to be angry, fearful and violent, once you begin to follow a
plant-based diet, you will become peaceful, confident, and non-violent.
Your moods will stabilize and your conceptualization of the world of
reality will expand. You will no longer be limited to the fearful thinking
of
"us versus them" in war. You will no longer be limited to the mainstream
ideas that we see in America today -- vengeance, fear, and control.
Instead, you will be able to expand your awareness. You will be able to
see the big picture.
You will begin to take in more wisdom from nature. The plants actually
give you wisdom. There are certain mushrooms -- Rei**** a kind of
Japanese medicinal mushroom being one of them -- that give you whole
lot of wisdom, . People who eat many Rei**** actually become wiser.
You might ask why that is. Well, we already talked about the same thing.
Just as the energy that is imprinted in the meat can affect your moods,
your mind, and your behavior, there is also information imprinted in
plants.
What kind of information you might ask? Wisdom -- wisdom of nature.
There is information in light and if you do not believe me just go back
and study physics. There is lots of information in light. How do you
think we have fiber optic communications? It is all information by light.
A plant is exposed to that information during its entire life cycle. Light
is
on during the day, off at night, and there are varying colors of light and
of information in sunlight.
There are all kinds of information in it that plants absorb. A plant is
said
to be concentrated sunlight. A plant also absorbs water. There is
vibration in water. There is imprinting of energy in all of water and then
the plant creates its own technologies, you might say. It synthesizes its
own nutrients to protect itself from the environment allowing it to adapt.
It has ways to be able to resist too much ultraviolet radiation or to go
out
and find more ultraviolet radiation if it needs more energy.
A plant has ways to work with its neighbors. It even communicates with
other plant family members. It has been proven in laboratories that plants
can actually identify their own relatives. They may emit chemicals to
fight
against the successful growth of non-relatives thereby helping their own
family members grow more successfully. Plants actually have very
complex communication systems internally as well.
Even though they do not have the consciousness of mammals, plants do
have a complexity in their information processing, in the way they process
sunlight into energy and the way they build their own medicines. They
actually grab carbon right out of the air and use it to build structures.
Did
you know you can grow a plant without even using dirt? It is called
hydroponics. I have done it myself. You can grow plants out of nothing
but air, water and a few nutrients. I have grown okra and tomatoes out of
nothing but air, water and a few vitamins.
You say, "Well, where does the tomato come from if there is no dirt.
Where did the plant come? Where is the structure? Where did cellulose
come from? How did the plant create itself?" The answer is it took it
out of the air. It took mass and information and it reorganized it. It
reorganized it into a harmonious structure and built its own solar system.
Its leaves gather energy and then the plant transformed the sunlight and
carbon from the air into its own structure and built its own skeletal
system, so to speak. From that, it constructed its own sup****t towers,
which would be the stalks. From there it created its own flowers, which
also contained information to attract the pollinators.
When the pollinators arrived the exchanged information with them and
from that it began to create its own fruits or in this case -- tomatoes.
Tomatoes are a whole universe of information. Inside it has its own seeds
full of new information -- all it needs to recreate itself, and a lot
more.
When you eat that tomato -- a fresh, organically grown, non-chemically
treated tomato right off the vine -- you are assimilating a massive amount
of wisdom from Mother Nature. You are absorbing millions of years of
wisdom and knowledge that is in the plant. You are bringing all that into
your body and circulating it through all your tissues. You are sending a
little bit of that positive, creative vibe to each and every one of the
cells
in your body. Is it any wonder then that people who eat a plant-based
diet are more peaceful, more compassionate, and able to see the bigger
picture?
They are far wiser than those who subsist on a meat-eating diet. If
awareness or spirituality were represented by money, meat eaters would
be extremely impoverished people. Plant eaters would be the ultra wealthy.
There is that much difference in the consciousness and the awareness of
those who eat meat versus those who focus on a plant-based diet.
That is why if you look at the history of every major religion in this
world
and throughout humanity, throughout the history of humanity, you will
find that virtually every spiritually advanced individual -- the leader of
any
religion you can name -- promoted a plant-based diet. From Jesus Christ
to Buddha, you name the person or you name the god, it is a plant-based
diet. Besides, is killing animals consistent with any religion? I mean
every
major religion teaches non-violence, compassion, understanding for other
living systems and other beings.
No religion teaches us to go out and kill other animals to take their
flesh,
treat them with cruelty, or process them in a factory. In fact, it is
anti-
spiritual to eat meat. It is devolving your spirituality. It is lowering
you to
the level of a murderer. You get that vibration when you eat meat. That
is,
of course, why the meat eaters so easily sup****t war because when
something happens in our country like the 9/11 events, they immediately
get angry and immediately want revenge. They immediately sup****t
violence. Those are exactly the wrong responses.
The future of human civilization
I believe the fact that we are able to treat animals with such cruelty
today --
we being modern human beings -- is indicative of the way we are capable
of treating each other and ourselves. This not just about cows, beef or
Mad Cow Disease, this is about ethics. This is about compassion. This is
about living in a way that acknowledges the interconnectedness among all
living systems.
We could be talking about cows today but tomorrow we might be talking
about aquatic ecosystems -- oceans and the rivers. We might be talking
about the microbiology of our soils and the im****tance of saving our
soils. We might even be talking about genetic diversity in our plants. You
see, as long as we have human beings in society and cor****ations that are
willing to destroy all of these things in order to make money, as long as
we tolerate that, then we are only accelerating our own destruction.
I believe that no civilization can survive long term if it is acting out
these
predatory impulses, these desires to kill and harm others in order to
create personal gain. If you look at what we are destroying in society
today, it is not just the cows, the pigs, and other animals. We are
destroying our plant biodiversity through monoculture practices. We
are destroying genetic diversity. We are actually destroying the sanctity
of the genes, the sanctity of the seeds that have fed our ancestors for
hundreds of thousands of years, because we are allowing genetically
modified crops to be grown throughout North America.
Those crops have already polluted the entire nation with DNA pollution.
There is hardly a piece of soil that you could pick up anywhere in the
country that does not have at least one fragment of genetically modified
DNA in it right now. That is right. It is all polluted and those DNA
fragments could some day recombine. They could someday become a
genetic catastrophe so large that it destroys a huge ****tion of our food
supply or destroys our ability live in a sustainable way.
You see, all of these things have the same expressions in common --
expressions of violence, expressions of taking life or killing or
dominating
or arrogance towards other living systems. What we do to the cows, what
we do to the crops, what we do to the water and the air -- those are the
same things that we are indeed doing to ourselves. I say that we cannot
survive as a civilization if we stay on this path. There is no future for
a
civilization that is bent on such destruction.
If we hope to have a chance at any kind of sustainable future on this
planet,
we have to mature as a civilization. We have to grow up! We have to move
past this predatory phase and we have to move into a holistic worldview --
a mindfulness that what we do to others is what we do to ourselves. This
probably reminds you of a famous biblical quote, right?
"Do unto others..." There is a lot of truth to that but we have to get to
that
point if we are to survive. It is no longer a question of just being right
or
wrong. I think it is a question of survival. You see, this planet, this
environment in which we live as guests, this Mother Nature -- she is not
judgmental, but she is the ultimate dispenser of karma.
What we do to her, to her creatures, to her plants and to her lands will
all
come back to us. If you add up what we have done - all the ac***ulated
cruelty, arrogance, and experiments meddling with seeds, genes, medicines,
animals and ecosystems -- we are in for a world of hurt. The backlash is
going to be incalculable. We should all just hope for mercy.
If Mother Nature is unleashed against us through a pandemic, through a
blight affecting crops, through widespread global infertility, through the
devastation of ocean food supply, the wiping out of fish, shrimp, or the
loss of top soils -- we are not going to make it. You will see a massive
collapse of the world population and I did not even mention global water
supply.
The dwindling water tables did not even mention many of the things that
are at stake here. Global population will collapse. We will not be wiped
out, no, no. It will simply collapse to the point where it will revert to
being sustainable. The destruction that we cause today will determine the
scope of the collapse of human population.
What we unleash today will determine how many will be left. What you
can do and what I can do right now to help save lives and to help save
our future is to begin thinking and living in a sustainable way right from
this moment. Begin living that sustainable life as best you can even if
you still live in a city and even if you still drive a gasoline-powered
car.
You can begin to make changes right now.
You can choose a plant-based diet right now and that is one huge step
in the right direction. You will be greatly reducing your footprint on the
planet. You will be reducing CO2 emissions. You will be helping to
reduce cruelty towards animals and you will be enhancing your health
and your awareness. You will be sup****ting the small organic farmers
that grow these foods that you will be able to consume.
You will be helping to ****ft things in the right direction so that more
human beings can actually survive the backlash that is inevitably going
to appear. It is not just about your own health even though that is a
valid
view - but it is a very limited view. It is about planetary health and the
sustainability of this entire civilization.
If we as human beings are going to make it, we all have to start ****fting
into a sustainable, green-living lifestyle. I can tell you right now that
the
eating of flesh from mammals such as cows and pigs is not compatible
with sustainable life on this planet. Yes, if we want to feed steak and
hamburgers to everyone in the world, we can do that for a little while.
We can cut down all the rainforest and turn it into grazing land. We can
feed those burgers to people all over the world and we can get away with
that for a couple of generations.
Then it is over! Then the global environment is so disrupted that rainfall
patterns ****ft, weather patterns ****ft, oceans might begin to rise. Super
viruses will emerge out of the destabilized jungle ecosystems and will
spread. One way or another, population will be brought back into
balance and then meat consumption will go down. It is going to happen
one way or another.
Either we can do it consciously by ****fting to a plant-based diet on a
global scale or we can wait around and let Mother Nature make that
decision for us and experience a massive population collapse, which
will bring us back into better balance with nature. Personally, I do not
know about you, but I would prefer option number one. Let us ****ft
now. Let us become compatible with this planet, now! We are the
guests here. Let us not destroy our home!
Sounds almost so simple that you think why even bother saying it. It
is so simple but so many people miss the point. They go out and buy
a Prius -- a hybrid car. They think they are helping the planet but they
go order hamburgers and steak for lunch. False environmentalists are
what I call them.
You also, of course, have the false Christians out there who say they
sup****t non-violence and say they are spiritual but what they are doing
is eating meat, junk food, processed foods, taking pharmaceuticals.
They are destroying their own bodies and destroying the environment.
You have false environmentalists, false Christians, you have all kinds of
false groups who claim to be doing something for the planet but in their
own actions and individual day-to-day decisions, they are actually
destroying the future, not conserving it.
I encourage you to be someone who is congruent with the vision of the
future of this planet. If you want our future to be sustainable, if you
want
to see life on this planet for more then just a couple generations then I
encourage you to act in congruence with that vision. That means avoiding
the consumption of meat as much as possible or entirely if you can.
That means consuming a plant-based diet.
That means conserving energy. That means being healthy and avoiding the
sup****t of cor****ations that are destroying our planet and destroying our
future. It means changing from within if you wish to change those things
that are outside of you. "Be the change" as Gandhi said. Be the change
that you want to see in the world. Do not complain about violence against
animals if you are still eating them. Eat plants -- be the change. I hope
you
have enjoyed this discussion.
