The video below was shared with me by friend and mentor Shannon Lavenia. I could not even finish watching it. I feel the desire to apologize for it's graphic, disgusting, unconscionable content. I cannot fathom how human beings can treat animals this way.
I grew up eating elk and deer meat. Dad is a hunter. I have always believed in the circle of life. If I were standing before a Lion, it would have no problem killing and eating me. Hunting keeps the animal population under control. Abuse of hunting can bring extinction of a species. But when human beings exploit and treat animals the way they do in this video, there is no excuse for it. None.
After watching this video, I decided to go vegetarian. Actually, vegan. I'll do the "Lemonaide Diet" first - otherwise known as "The Master Cleanse". I spoke with a friend of mine this weekend = Craig Sigl, a hypnotherapist. He went vegan last summer. His whole life changed in a wonderful way. His business experienced major breakthroughs, and his personal life has too. He is so much more healthy, and happy. I had not seen him for about 8 months, and I noticed an amazing difference.
Craig shared some links with me. www.vegsource.com and www.fatfree.com
The more information I expose myself to, the more I realize how duped I was. And I thought I was pretty darn healthy.
The thing that struck me the most about the meat I used to eat, is that it came from animals subjected to such horrible treatment. I cannot imagine the stress those animals were under before they died. The chemicals their bodies released due to the stress is very bad for the health of the animal. Think about it. I am no scientist, but I know when our bodies stress, it causes chemical reactions that are very harmful for us. So that's what is happening to the animals, and that's what is in their flesh - besides all the other chemicals they've been subjected to.
No more excuses for me. No more purchasing frozen bulk chicken breasts at Costco. My life is a changing.
So, here's the video. Let me know if you want to go vegan!
