Comments on: My ecological footprint, I need help! http://baraza.wildlifedirect.org/2008/03/09/my-ecological-footprint-i-need-help/ News from the WildlifeDirect team Wed, 19 Nov 2008 13:21:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: teknival http://baraza.wildlifedirect.org/2008/03/09/my-ecological-footprint-i-need-help/#comment-1684 teknival Mon, 15 Sep 2008 09:27:14 +0000 http://baraza.wildlifedirect.org/2008/03/09/my-ecological-footprint-i-need-help/#comment-1684 the cave painting may be proof that many years ago human ate meat, but some time before that humans didn't- on google, new scientist and other places, there's plenty of logical evidence for this. we don't have as sharp or powerful jaws as a tiger for example.... and we have to cook meat or get ill very quickly (although meat does make you ill slowly anyway) i hope you keep doing what you can, it's amazing how much you can do by just doing little bits here and there, they mount up to so much! i'm lucky that my (very healthy very active) son believes in being vegan - he's been vegan all of his life tho, which makes it easier, as he hasn't been brainwashed into thinkin that meat is great. i was brainwashed, i'm glad i found my way out of it. i did have some cravings when i first gave up, then after a while, the thought association, the small, the look of it, all makes me close to throwing up (which i have done when i accidentally ingested it) i think that we will evolve back into being vegan again. especially when there is no need to kill animals for food. some quotes for you from some amazing minds: Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet. ~Albert Einstein .. The earth affords a lavish supply of riches, of innocent foods, and offers you banquets that involve no bloodshed or slaughter' -Pythagoras We live by the death of others. We are burial places! I have since an early age abjured the use of meat." -Leonardo-da-Vinci A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite. And to act so is immoral - Tolstoy the cave painting may be proof that many years ago
human ate meat,
but some time before that humans didn’t-
on google, new scientist and other places, there’s plenty of
logical evidence for this.
we don’t have as sharp or powerful jaws as a tiger for example….
and we have to cook meat or get ill very quickly
(although meat does make you ill slowly anyway)

i hope you keep doing what you can, it’s amazing how much you can
do by just doing little bits here and there, they mount up to so
much!

i’m lucky that my (very healthy very active) son believes in being vegan - he’s
been vegan all of his life tho, which makes it easier, as he
hasn’t been brainwashed into thinkin that meat is great.
i was brainwashed, i’m glad i found my way out of it.
i did have some cravings when i first gave up, then after a while, the thought association, the small, the look of it, all makes me
close to throwing up (which i have done when i accidentally
ingested it)

i think that we will evolve back into being vegan again.
especially when there is no need to kill animals for food.

As for meat eating...I am with you, completley conflicted here, but my (our!)good friend Sheryl has been persistant in trying to show me the light. My hubby and I are trying to go vegetarian in a step-down sort of way...We'll see if we can make at least some progress there first. As for plastic bags, I try to get paper whenever I can and then recycle plastic bags at the grocery store. We recycle every single thing we can, but, I guess we can try to be more responsible shoppers too.

I believe that's where some of the cravings come from; the rest is acculturation. You go, girl! s. Just make sure you get plenty of plant-based protein in your diet.

I have no attraction to eating animals. I get plenty of protein from tasty plant sources and I'm no skinny wench, either. I'm also quite capable of building muscle. Humans no longer need animal carcass to survive, in fact we're long past that need. Time to think about your choices in a more highly-evolved manner. s. Don’t include me in your numbers, J.O.B.
