For the Love of Pete…I mean meat!
My wife came up with a funny the other day. We switched to a Vegan diet organic and healthy. Sure the dried egg white protein was pushing the limit but it isn’t the yolk, just food for a baby chick. But after 10 days I said I would switch to all natural meat. Strange as organic would never work unless all the critters had gas masks and drank spring watwer that went through reverse osmosis. MAYBE then it would be pure. So, yesterday was a "evil" red meat day. It is not a rationalization to eat meat. Looking at my dentition it appears that the creator gave me teeth that grind but not like a cow and "fangs" that are not quite like a tiger’s. So, I get it. The way of the Buddha-the Middle path. Not too much grains and not too much meat. Simple enough. PETA members sream that we are eating sentient beings. True enough but local horticulture clubs are not screaming (yet) that we are eating other sentient beings such as Brocolli, kale, etc. Just because we cannot hear them wail when we slice a knife through them are they any less alive. Opps, sounds like politics to me. I will eat, say my prayers of Thanksgiving, knowing that everything I eat was alive and died to sustain me whether plant or animal. Until we can all eat just pure light energy I will suffer my Karmic fate. But, I will continue to progress in bodybuilding and use these new talents to…I don’t know…help neighbors with furniture, lift my patients in their ill health, play with my grand daughter, too many things to mention. Maybe if we were all just thankful for what we eat instead of judging everyone for everything life would be more peaceful…
