you know what i realize. alot of it is about 'false posturing'. people come into the spiritual movement thing, they are taught about dense foods and higher spiritual beings and how they lived and they start to try and reprogram their way of life not based on their feeling and experience but wanting to act like those people. in my opinion if you can't get deep in your meditation simply because you ate a burger then baby you ain't got it. you feel me?

i go thru periods of time where my body and my spirit truly have no desire or taste for meats. i go with it. i juice more. eat lighter and so on. perhaps it is a cleansing...i don't know i just listen and trust. then i'll feel like some fish or chicken whatever and i go with that. i don't notice any higher spiritual realms when i don't eat meat as when i do. it's not like some god or universal spirit is now diggin me more cause i gave up the meat...that is just plain silly. i say this not to insult anyone. nor to tout the greatness of eating meat. what i am saying is in truth...it really isn't the point. and those that think spirituality is all about meat or no meat are lost. they are grasping at straws trying to justify their lack of awareness. be truthful with yourselves. grow up spiritually! own your power.
go thru what you gotta go thru. be real. do the work..walk your path and see what you see. and if you give up meat...cool. but if you do and you turn around and try and act like doing so is more spiritual and so on...then back to the cushion you go entity cause ya lost it: )

peace,

i don't think there is anything wrong with other people eating meat. it is just something my body no longer wants.

i don't feel good with all the steroids and garbage, and don't like anything proccessed. just my body's responses.

i was eating meat until about 2 months ago, and have wanted to not eat it since a child, but it is a personal feeling.

i still smoke, and drink, so i am the last person to judge what someone else puts in their body.....i am probly one of the farthest behind in lifestyle, but who said it was a competition?

we are all on our designated paths, some people just got on the road earlier, and so are closer to "point b", than some of us who just left "point a"....

msg and stuff destroys me, and the only beer i can drink is coors light, or budwieser, everything else has a weird chemical that gives me a hangover. i can't smoke real cigarettes either, just plain tobacco, because the chemicals in manufactured cigarettes make me feel all jittery and aweful etc....

as for foods as medicines, i hear kiwi fruits have anti depressant qualities, and cilantro, and wheat grass etc help remove heavy metals and mercury etc from our sysytem.....i could write a book on how good soooo many foods are, but enough people beat me to it, and plus everyones bodies are different and will benifit from different things etc.
