No meat for me today. Once or twice a week, grass fed/free range, no hormone or antibiotic, chicken, eggs, stew beef/ground beef. I try but, I can only adjust so quickly. Quinoa is an amazing substitute for the proteins and amino acids that meats do beneficially give our bodies, currently. |

| Sneetch User ID: 14967850 United States11/29/2012 12:06 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When I was in high school I learned that deer hunting actually helps bring balance to the overpopulation in my area. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23005221 The hunters kill/eat the deer, otherwise the deer breed and breed, they run out in front of cars, they get disease and ticks, which spread. They start eating from gardens, so then the non-meat eaters suffer too, right? But the hunter kills a deer and takes one out of the equation to feed his family and is called a savage, or caveman, etc by the people who do not eat meat. Not everything is black and white. I do not like how animals are treated in some slaughter houses. I do my research on how an animal is treated before being processed. If the company (Tyson, for example) is known for being unethical, I do not buy their meat. I do, however, support local butchers. I support local hunters and encourage my husband to bring some meat home for us. That is my opinion on this subject. Thanks for actually seeing it a little more rationally than "hunters murder deer for their satanic desires". If a year of hunting was skipped I can guarantee an increase in deer accidents and overpopulation would start, especially where I live. We were meant to live for so much more, have we lost ourselves? |

I'm not trying to "ascend" or whatever.....I am just trying to follow our Creator's loving instructions. And HE is the one that says not to eat anything that has its life in its blood. I also disagree with you that what we eat does not define us. We are what we eat..... What we eat, becomes a part of us...it is assimilated into our body. And the soul of the creature? I have to agree with others' posts, that particularly commercialized meat, that contains very negative energy, which also is being absorbed into the body....
