Animals are Our Friends - Don't Eat Them!!!
At one time, I ate
anything that moved. But gradually, my body began telling me that
it didn't enjoy meat. I began to be sickened by the smell of meat
cooking. When I listened to my body, it very clearly told me to
eat fruits and vegetables. For dinner, I was perfectly happy to
have a bowl of green peas with some butter, salt and
pepper. For breakfast, a nice fruit salad, or some
blueberries with peach yogurt. When passing my favorite
fast food restaurants, I had no desire to stop. There was nothing
there that even remotely interested me.
Then one day, my cat cornered a mouse on our front porch. The cat was just sitting and looking at the mouse, who had flattened it's body against the wall in the corner, and it had this look of fear and terror on it's face. It looked at me as if it was appealing to me for help. I chased my cat away with a broom so the mouse could escape.
That clenched it for me. We eat animals every day and give no thought for the terror they must feel when they know that are going to die, and for what? There are plenty of other foods to sustain us, we don't need to kill other senscient beings to survive.
I know, you are thinking, "But animals hunt other animals to survive. That's the way it's always been."
No, that's NOT the way it's always been.
In the Bible, it states that in the beginning, all humans and animals ate green plants for food. Now, I'm not saying I believe everything in the Bible is true, but as a source of history, myths and legends, and to understand the mind of humankind, it is a helpful source.
It has been established scientifically that at one time, the earth, and especially the fertile crescent, was a lush garden, which grew many delicious foods without much help from humans. Everyone pretty much had all their nutritional needs met. However, a huge flood came and dessimated the land. Food bearing plants were destroyed, the land became waterlogged, and it took weeks and months for the land to be able to sustain growing plants again, let alone for those plants to produce a crop. During this time, humans had no choice but to turn to other resources for their survival.
Even the animals did not look at humans as predators at that time. Humans and animals maintained a helpful symbiotic relationship. But once humans began preying upon and killing animals for food, the animals then began defending themselves, of course, and some of them began to be a danger to humans, especially the ones who were most often preyed upon for food.
It is at this time that the human body began to change and degenerative diseases started to multiply. When one eats animal flesh, one is taking a foreign DNA into one's body, and who knows how this affects and changes our own DNA structure. We know that animals often carry diseases, and these diseases are in the meat. Some are rendered harmless through cooking, but some are not.
If you look at how long people lived in Bible times, Methuselah lived 969 years. After the flood, people's life span immediately started to dwindle.
Now, how can we go back to those days where animals and people lived in harmony?
There are times when normally ferocious animals haved learned to live with and respect human beings, so it can be unlearned. However, for most of us, it's probably best if we just stay away from the areas where the ferocious animals live. For our world to change, we need to start respecting all life, no matter what kind.
So, this website will now feature only vegetarian recipes. Nothing with animal flesh. I think it's all right to use eggs and milk, because you don't have to kill the animal to get those, and if you are loving your animals and living in that symbiotic relationship, the eggs and milk they give you are a love offering in which they pay you back for the care you give them. We only use free-range eggs and dairy, because these animals need to be given the change to have a pleasing and wonderful life, which they can't have in cages.
Check back frequently as we will be adding new recipes, articles about animal care and relationships, and much more!
