Vegetarianism is the right way
You can see very famous people in the past who were vegetarians Sir Isaac Newton, Aristotle, Mark Twain, Leonardo Da Vinci, Jesus Christ, Confucius, Plato, Pythagoras, Einstein and Abraham Lincoln.
When you look at carnivores you can see their skeleton and you can see their big fangs that they use to kill other animals and the teeth behind they are all sharp, they don’t chew their food they swallow everything. The vegetarian eating animals’ teeth are quite different, humans do not have the same teeth as the meat eaters. We as humans are vegetarian, we have to chew the food just as the cows do, they chew their food to make sure that it becomes digestible. Our digestion starts in the mouth and then we look at the intestines we find that for vegetarians we have very long intestines, in fact it is about nine times the length of our body. The meat eaters they only have three times the length of the body and the reason is because if you have a plate of meat and a plate of vegetables after three to four hours the meat will start to rot, will go bad, but the vegetables will last until the next day and will not go bad. So in that case we can out all the nutrients from our intestines because we have a very long one, our own intestines are more suitable for vegetables not for meat. You can see the lifespan of the Eskimo people they don’t have vegetables, their lifespan is 27.5 years, whereas the Hunzas Tribe in Pakistan and the Otomi Tribe in Mexico have a lifespan of 110 years. A medical doctor called Sir Robert Mc Carrison studied these tribes and concluded, “I never saw a case of appendicitis or colic or cancer amongst these people.” In another study a group of Harvard doctors and scientists went to a village in Ecuador, the villagers there were pure vegetarians and again they found most of them reached the age of over 100 years. A study in America of 50,000 vegetarians found that they lived longer, they had significantly lower rates of heart disease and lower rates of cancer compared to meat eaters. Dr Kellogg a famous theologian once remarked, “It’s nice to eat a meal and not worry about what your food may have died of.” You can see Chicken flu, mad cow disease, nipah virus and all kinds of problems with animals. When you look at the protein you can see soy milk powder contains 41.8% protein, whereas chiken and lamb only has 18 or 16% protein – you get more protein from soy bean. This is one of the problems that is causing global warming, you need seventeen more times more land to get the same amount of protein when you compare the livestock to soy bean, you need eight times more water to raise animals verses growing vegetables and grains and when you feed grains to animals as in America you only get back 10% of the calories and protein of livestock when you eat meat so a lot of good food is being wasted.
So this is the solution to world starvation, many people are dying, everyday children are dying because they lack food, 80-90% of all the grain grown in America is used to feed meat animals. So when you reduce meat production by 10% only, you would release enough grain to feed 60 million people just by a reduction of 10%. If people would consume only 50% they would release enough food to feed the entire developing world. So become a vegetarian and we can save the lives of so many people. We will have enough food for the whole world. Former UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim, (21 December 1918 – 14 June 2007) said, “The food consumption of the rich countries is the key cause of hunger around the world.” Let’s do whatever we can to reduce global warming.
In ‘The Celestine Prophecy’ James Redfield wrote something along the lines of, When man stops eating flesh they will then stop killing each other.
