Vegans for World Peace

Our food system is inefficient, cruel and we are wasting our resources. We will run out of clean water, deplete the soil of nutrients and collapse the ecosystem. We are destroying the tropical rainforest, the lungs of the planet, and home to millions (if not trillions) of species of life forms that took millions of years of evolution to create. We are growing food on this land to feed the animals we eat (for the most part.) We are creating mass extinction and we are not immune to extinction ourselves as we are dealing in a land of finite resources. Humans are starving right now because we choose to feed their food to the animals we eat. Approx. 50,000 litres of drinking water goes into producing 1 kilo of beef or a gallon of milk. It takes approximately 10 times more grain to feed a "food" animal to eat it than it does to just feed the grain directly to the human being. We can feed 7 billion humans much more efficiently than 100 billion or more land animals. And we are ignoring our moral obligation to protect innocent animals and people who cannot protect themselves. Yes animals in the wild eat flesh but they do not breed in captivity and confine their prey to spaces indoors without space enough to turn around or be comfortable at all during the entire life. These animals are living a life of torture. No wild animal is so cruel to abuse, torture, confine, neglect, overcrowd, beat, cram in cages so small they never move, allow them no exercise, no sunshine, EVER, no movement even! Cut up into pieces while conscious, skin them alive, boil alive, etc etc etc This is common the world over. 100 billion a year we slaughter!!!!! and we kill another 1-3 trillion in the oceans. Non human animals are not capable of cultivating plant crops, however we are. We do not need animal products to survive. Some animals do need other animals to survive we are not one of them - many have proven this. Our intestines are long like herbivores and we have a back up emergency system we are abusing. Animal protein and fat creates disease in our body where plant food does not. We can derive all we need from plants and bacteria, rather than have the animals process this for us. If we focus on feeding the people directly we stop the torture and slaughter. If you eat meat dairy or eggs and you watch how the pigs, cows, chickens, farmed fish etc live you, will see they suffer immensely. When we take from the oceans we risk the lives of the sharks and whales who are essential to the ocean ecosystem. We need to keep it in balance. And the taste for flesh is not worth mass suffering beyond comprehension. We can learn to eat the plants. If you don't have the stomach to watch these videos on how the "food" animals live - it is because you already know it is creating suffering for them. Please stop supporting animal cruelty immediately! We can eat if we grow food for us rather than the animals we breed into existence to consume. We threaten the wildlife when we farm the land to grow the animal food. There is enough food for everyone but not enough to feed and care properly for so many animals! Every social issue is solved by going to a plant based diet and provides a tangible way of knowing who is cruel and who believes all life is sacred. The torture can stop but it takes each and every one of us to make it happen. Violence is a choice. Please stop contributing to lifetimes of starvation, torture, confinement, abuse, and slaughter. Please stop! Let us instead worship all life, not just our own. Let's love and worship instead of destroy, torture, and exploit ok?! Please! We can do this! And we will be better for it!

Long Life

We all want to live long, happy, meaningful, healthy lives. Genes may indeed have a role in the likelihood of living a long life, but we all know it's the everyday lifestyle choices that will ultimately determine the quality and length of our lives. Most of us are pretty savvy and know the standard American diet just can't support the kind of health and vibrancy we are looking for. So we have changed our diets to include more fresh, organic produce, eliminating saturated animal fats, sugar, chemicals, etc. However, even if we are eating the best diet in the world, we could still be robbing our body of desperately needed nutrients.

It starts with our soils. Our food is only as nutrient rich as our soils, which have been over farmed and depleted over the past 50 years by huge corporate farming techniques. Our foods are a mere shadow of the spinach of Popeye's day. Some studies say many of the nutrients are missing. Modern tomatoes prove the taste is absolutely missing. Food has sadly become entertainment with very little real taste or nourishment. Processed, denatured, chemically grown, hybridized, genetically altered, irradiated, less than just picked fresh food will have the same careless, unnatural effects on our cells.

Immune systems become compromised as well as attitudes and outlooks. Our systems only run as good as the fuel we put in them. Degenerative disease is on the rise. We don't catch degenerative disease; we earn it with each bite we take.

Pick up any magazine and you will find a plethora of diets, fads, does and don'ts. Yoga advocates a vegan diet. Over the past 50 years, this is what I have found that works best for me, VEGAN.

Cut out meat. It's loaded with chemicals, antibiotics, growth hormones and all sorts of junk. The meat itself is hard to and long to digest, (who chews their food 40 times?) staying in your bowels for many, many hours, putrefying and causing havoc. It's expensive, risky (rots) and is hard on the environment to produce. You won't miss it and you'll live much longer.

Cut out dairy. Dairy is filled with the same garbage as meat. It's hard to digest, gunks up the system and is really fattening. Milk is a wonder food for calves, it helps them grow to 1000 pounds.

Drink organic vegetable juice. Drink as much organic juice during the day that is possible. I juice fresh organic beets, red cabbage, kale, parsley, carrots, spinach and apple every day. I drink at least two 48 ounce glasses a day. I also mix my blue green algae in 24 ounces of fresh organic tomato juice very morning. I add flaxseed oil, hemp seed oil and wheat germ oil.

GO 80% RAW. Raw food is alive. You will digest your food easier, get more energy from it and will feel light and bright. Humans are the only creatures on the planet to cook their food... get back to the way nature intended and leave the stove behind. Eat as much raw organic vegetables and fruit as you can. Cook organic whole grains like barley, wheat berries, quinoa, buckwheat, spelt. Eat organic mung, adzuki and garbanzo beans. Organic winter squash, yams and potatoes are delicious and extremely high with the most beneficial nutrients.

Eat low on the food chain. Eat simple and bright. Chemicals and toxins "bio-accumulate" in plants and animals. The higher up the food chain you go, the more toxic it becomes. Tuna fish has all the toxins found in the other fish it eats and the toxins from fish and plants those bate fish eat..and on and on.

Ingest Blue-Green Algae. Here's why! It's a miracle! Blue Green Algae is the most ancient plant on the planet! Algae is the first thing to discover photosynthesis. It took sunlight and water and created chlorophyll and oxygen!! And that's just what it does in your body!! Chlorophyll is a potent blood cleanser and oxygen keeps the cells vibrant. Algae practically bypasses digestion. It is 98% absorbed by our bodies like a thirsty sponge. Blue-green algae has ALL the minerals and micronutrients we need to live vibrant lives... as well as being 60% protein! It is the bottom of the food chain and supports all life.

Support your local organic farmer and tell them how much you appreciate their hard work and integrity. If you have the resources, grow your own organic produce. Your family will feel a sense of pride every time you sit down to a meal.......Don't forget your B12 supplement everyday
