RE: EATING MEAT — WHY THE BUDDHA WAS NOT A VEGETARIAN
It's not limited to B12. There are 6 more nutrients that we know of that cannot come from plants. Plus, children under a certain age will not have the right gut bacteria to process solid foods or this B12 producer you speak of. Sure, it can also be supplemented by dairy and eggs. But you would need a lot of it.
Yes, everything starts from dirt. But that doesn't change why you must wash your hands after handling it. The moment it enters the body, the environment has changed. Favouring one group over another. The soil may be sporting it just fine and the veggies in it but you simply should not eat dirt.
Speaking of black plaque... It was our
"high density ways of living"
That caused it...
I'd rather educate everyone so they don't eat dirt rather than split them up so that if someone does eat dirt and dies of bubonic plague, it will be an isolated incident.
The population is huge on Earth. You can't just blame cities for existing. People need to live somewhere and they choose to be with other people. Some are born on islands with no means to relocate. There are also regions on Earth which are not suitable for long term human occupancy. The benefits of being in a city must far outweigh it's drawbacks for enough people to form them.
I eat dirt. But only from organic and regenerative farms with incredible fertile and healthy soil. I love it.
Something you may not know. The entire tube from your mouth to your anus is technically outside of your body. In this cavity there are more non-human cells than human one in the entire body....
Eating dirt aids in diversity of these bacteria, fungi, yeast, etc.
This diversity maintains balance and helps break down our food so that we can actually absorb the vital nutrients.
Thanks. I actually recall my highschool biology without needing too much reminder.
You did not address my concern of how balance is disrupted for the bacterial fauna once the environment changes between outside and what is being carried in the body inside. For a person that is travelling, the biomass inside the digestive tract suddenly becomes "foreign" to everything outside.
