veggie vegan omni ital? whats your diet and hows it relate to your dreadiness (if at all)

I think it's important not to shun all animal products. For example, organic yogurt has vitamin D, probiotics, and protein, and as far as I know, the cows aren't abused. What's wrong with that?

But if if you are vegan or vegetarian, if you don't have a well-rounded diet, you should probably take a multivitamin. I hear you can miss out on some B-vitamins.

The best thing to do is do your own research - diets can be hazardous if you don't cover all the bases and you can't depend on other people to do that for you.

exactly i worked on a dairy farm thats why im veg today they beat the animals with canes..shattering a dozen canes a day into splinters when they ran out of canes (wich they bought by the thousand) they used numchuks

and they would twistthe cows tails brdeaking them inmultiple places if youcve ever broken your back severing the spinal cord it is the worse possible pain there is every nerve in your body snapped all the cows tails zig zagged from being broken so many times

the son of the farmer was a semi pro boxer too hed practivce by punching the cows

it was disgusting

no..i wont

I am currently a meat eater; after becoming pregnant with my daughter last year i craved meat intensely. Prior to that, I was a strict vegan for 2 years and vegetarian for 7 years. I watched an interesting documentary called 'the vegetarian myth' which may be good for those undecided. My husband is a chef, so we get all our meat locally and he butchers it himself, then we store it in our deep freeze. I have been on both sides of the fence and I have no strong feelings for either anymore, other than respect what you eat and be thankful. If anything, my dreadlocks have deepened my belief that food is not about whatever diet you choose, its about being sustainable for the planet and good for your community. mono-cropped soy is just as bad as factory farms, for different reasons, but all bad.

bless the enlightening word! RASpect!

I eat 100% Raw Fruits and veggies. When I say raw I mean UNALTERED, uncooked, unprocessed, strait from the soil. Needless to say I do not eat any animal products either. I teach about raw vegan diets all the time and help people beat anything from MS to Cancer even AIDS, just by eating the way nature intended.
We were not born with stoves on our backs or guns growing out of our arms. We do not have slashing claws or fingernail flints either. We were born naked and beautiful in a tropical paradise with all the fresh delicious ripe fruit we could ever want to eat. Everything that is good for us is provided freely without any harm to anyone or anything else. Why does fruit taste good? Why do we love sweet sugar (glucose/fruit sugar)? Because that is what we are supposed to eat. Carnivores don't taste sugar they enjoy raw meat.

Are you a omnivore? Do you eat your meat bloody and raw? No you bake, fry, sautee, or add tons of salt, or soy sauce, or whatever else will disguise the taste of dead flesh.

There is more of a point to this... fruit is balanced perfectly for us and so are young tender greens and vegetables. Cooking destroys the living properties of those plant foods. Living properties means enzymes and vitamins. It also denatures the minerals making them nearly impossible to assimilate. Think chemistry... heat catalyzes chemical reactions that rearrange molecular structures. Basically heating food is changing it from the way nature designed it for you to eat. You are basically telling mother earth that she is wrong and you know better than her (who is you ironically).

Eating animals is immoral, yes, but even more importantly, it is unnatural and UNHEALTHY. Cholesteral, heart disease, cancer,these are all linked to overconsumption of animal foods. Coincidence? If you break the law of nature you WILL face the consequences. People who eat only ripe raw organic fruits and veggies DO NOT GET SICK. Sickness is not neccessary friends!

Anyway, my point is that nature is the law. Following that law will only lead to joy and love. DONT THINK OF IT AS DOING WHAT SOMEONE ELSE TOLD YOU TO DO BECAUSE YOU ARE NATURE.

My decision for dreads came from my reverence for that law. If our hair was supposed to be short, it would stop growing. Without great detail I have many strong beliefs surrounding the purpose of hair spiritually and scientifically (sort of antennae if you will or etheral fiberoptics). More to the point, we should not have to spend so much valuable energy keeping our long hair "neat". So dreadlocks seem like the obvious solution.

Natural law is just another word for love. Love your fellow creatures - dont eat them. Love your mind- dont feed it drugs. Love your body- exercise, sleep, eat what is provided.

I know this diet may seem radical to most, but to me some of the extreme methods of food preparation that people use daily is much more extreme. Also think about an environment where everyone eats ripe plants from the ground. No processing factories, no plastic/carboard packaging, no energy wasted on cooking, etc.

And for those who say that my diet is limited... try to come up with more of a varietyof foods that you eat in a week than this...

papaya
mango
pineapple
bananas
heirloom tomatoes
celery
DURIAN
dragonfruit
grapes
oranges
barhi dates
watermelon
canteloupes
fresh sweet corn
cherries
peaches
coconut water
pears
canary melons
galias
kiwis
tangerines
cucumbers
fresh romaine
too many to list!

Thanks for listening

love and health

Heh...funny how so many people jump to believe scientists...on both sides.

Should really research the scientists research...taking things at face value is laughable at best.

I'm not picking on either side, and I'm not saying what category I fit in here.

I love ya'll all, and only wish for the truth be sought out here...as well as all aspect.

What is it that was said about the truth...
