Dog for dinner, baby cow for a pet?

7km jog in the hills of heaven this morning….. today turned out to be yet another cracker as far as sunshine goes….  Got a nudie bake in plus some physiology study (out of a book that is The rest of the day was spent on the computer making subtle improvements to my sites www.30bananasaday.com & www.fruitapeel.ning.com both communities are coming a long so well.

Today I ate about 500gms of medjool dates blended with water into a smoothie…it was amazing! Like the original Coke without the kick in the guts.  I also had about 4kgs of oranges & a spiralized salad with tom,orange & basil.

DR & I were just watching the series ‘Planet Earth’ on DVD…such an amazing moving documentary, displaying nature at its finest…everytime I see an animal doing its thing in nature, I really melt…I am reminded why I am a vegan, I am reminded why I ride a bike instead of drive a car, I am reminded why I compost, don’t use plastic & why I spread the low fat raw vegan message so incessantly…sure many peeps may say ‘ oh u vegans are too extreme!!’ or something a long those lines…but what is extreme is the impact our uniformed lifestyle preferences have on our precious planet, our health & the animals.

I am impressed with how active Pammy Anderson is as far as animal rights goes, she inspires me, she uses her sex appeal for good, more power to her I say…if it saves just one animal from slaughter then i’m a fan.  It’s quite sad & funny how we can sit down to a meal of roasted baby cow (veal) & coo over how amazing & tender it is then with our other hand pat the family dog….do we not see the connection here??…Why do we spare the dogs life but take the baby cow’s? Do they not both have a nervous system? A personality? Why not Dog for dinner & baby cow for a pet?

Gotta eat meat for protein right? Wrong…animal protein is pure acid in the body subsequently causing your body to then leach calcium from your teeth & bones to buffer the acidic environment…not to mention the adrenaline, uric acid, cholesterol & pathogenic bacteria (E coli) u get with your juicy steak.

Another interesting thing is that there isn’t even a medical term for protein deficiency! Why? Because its unheard of!! The ‘protein’ push we are subjected to these days can be directly linked to the meat & dairy industry (which by the way is the number one course of land deforestation).  In this society we are served up our meat meals in shiny plastic wrap, how many of us would go & kill our meal everyday? Seriously would u?

Fruits & greens have the perfect ratio’s of nutrients for our bodyminds, get it in, lots of it & life will be sweet!

GRATITUDE

I am grateful for the Earth we live on, I marvel at its beauty everyday

I am grateful to be able to eat all the fruit I care for

I am grateful for my minimalistic lifestyle

I am grateful for my mum, who provided me with a fruity beginning

On a side note : Things don’t always go right in life & if they do…then you’re just not trying hard enough…
