veggie vegan omni ital? whats your diet and hows it relate to your dreadiness (if at all)
Dreads and Diets
This particular conversation always sparks my interests... I don't happen to think veggie, vegan etc... is a particularly natural lifestyle. I could be biased because I live on a grass-fed meat farm (registered black angus, pork, chicken, lamb) but it seems to me that many people who have been long-term veggies or vegans have been transitioning back to omni since local/grass-fed/organic meat has become increasingly available in the Vermont area. I have also never heard of anyone getting sick from eating meat, even after 5, 10, 20 years of veggies.
Ofcourse everybody is different and people are always going to have strong feelings on this issue, but eating meat is a natural lifestyle. Today the majority class eats 2 to 3 times and appropriate portion of meats a week, particularly processed meats pumped full of SHIT, and that definately needs to stop. Ofcourse you may not be harming yourself by abstaining from meat but most veggies who transition back to eating meats often feel healthier and more active.
Making the argument that meat eating is not natural because we have to cook it, is a hazy one. I have certainly heard of people exsisting for long periods of time of raw meat diets, and many cultures still do. I for one like my steak rare... It seems akin to the idea that people aren't meant to drink milk becuase 'we're the only mammal who drinks another mammals milke' - which is riddled with idealogical holes...
I also feel a profound gratitude for the animals that I eat (raise and some times help slaughter), I feel that this connection that I have with my food and the natural edd and flow of the world has grounded me as a person and given me a chance for perspective that I cannot take for granted....
Namaste
