Why I am a Vegetarian

Quantum Physics tells us that all of creation is vibration. We are all vibration, even sold things like a table or chair are merely vibrating particles of energy.

Our body too is made up of these vibrating particles. When animals are slaughtered for our consumption, they are filled with fear. This vibration of fear, plus their animal instincts is what becomes in-bedded in the flesh of a slaughtered animal.

When we consume meat we are taking in the vibration of fear and animal tendencies into our bodies. Animal flesh does not digest quickly, and so becomes rancid in our gut, thus leading to a greater risk of disease.

The human intestine is not designed to digest meat. Where a natural carnivore's bowel is relatively short (3 times the length of its body) and smooth inside, a humans bowel is 12 times the length of the body and deeply twisted and puckered. Having no fiber of its own, meat quite arduously inches itself through the long convoluted human digestive tract. Before it gets to the end it has become putrid and toxic to the body.

Meat-centered diets are linked to many kinds of cancer, most notably cancer of the colon, breast, cervix, uterus, overy prostrate and lung.

An animal-based diet is invariably high in saturated fat, animal protein and cholesterol, which will raise the level of cholesterol in the blood - the warning signal for heart disease and stoke.

Approximately 1.28 billion cattle populate the earth at any one time. They are sustained unnaturally in these numbers to satisfy the excessive human demand for their flesh. Their combined weight exceeds that of the entire human poplulation. Their sheer numbers (and consequent appetite for the world's resources) have made them one of the primary causes for the destruction of the environment. In the U.S. beef cattle return to us only 1 pound of meat for every 16 pounds of grain and soybeans they are fed.

The worlds cattle alone (not including other livestock such as pigs and chickens) consume a quantity of food equal to the caloric needs of 8.7 billion people - nearly double the entire human population.

Hundreds of millions of tons of grain go to animals while only 5 million tons of grain could adequately feed 15 million children throughout the world, the approximate number who starve to death every year. 70% of all grain produced in the U.S. is fed to livestock.

In today's factory settings, farm animals are not allowed to fulfill normal functions. Chickens are kept in crowded cages, not being able to scratch around in the dirt, or pick at green grass which is one of their daily delights. They begin to get agrivated and start to peck at one another, so the farmer cuts off their beak.

Breeding Pigs are kept in pens on concrete where they can only stand or lie down, they can't turn around. When their piglets are born, they can't even see them, or lick them or bond with them. With every one of their natural instincts restricted and unfulfilled, pigs in today's factories will take to "tail-biting". Insane, bored and frustrated, these naturally intelligent and playful creatures may be driven to gnawing neurotically on one anothers tails and hind ends. If not prevented, a mauled pig may die from an attack and then be eaten by his attackers. Mauled pigs cannot be sold, so they become a problem to the producer. The answer? Pig tails are routinely amputated and pigs are kept in total darkness except for feeding time.

It is just sooooooo cruel!!!!! I could go on and on, but if your want to know more read "101 Reasons why I am a Vegetairan" by Pamela Teisler
