RE: ๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿ–๐Ÿฎ Eating Less Meat: Its Importance and Benefits ๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿ–๐Ÿฎ

in #health โ€ข 7 years ago

So true! ๐Ÿ‘

We are totally capable of being able survive without the need of meat, especially in modern day where we have alternative options on how we can provide ourselves with nutrients that would otherwise be missing from a plant-based diet; vitamin B12 for example.

As you have said @amy-goodrich, the meat we consume these days are very much highly processed and have been contaminated with toxins and have been given unhealthy amounts of steroids and hormone.

It is todays addiction to food and gluttony that is really the problem here. Realistically, we don't need that much food to live a healthy life.

But when we pair that with the conditioning that we have always been led to believe since we were young - that meat is important if we want to grow up strong, or that we need to it to avoid deficiency and sickness, or if we want to build strong muscles, we start to see how the combination of food addiction and gluttony adds to the increasing desire for more meat, and the fear of a completely plant-based diet. ๐Ÿ˜”

It will take time and effort to recondition ourselves, through education and trial-and-error to find a plat-based diet that works for us individually, but when we do this and succeed - everyone wins ๐Ÿ˜„

Amen. You are so right. We sure have been tricked by the food industry to eat more meat and processed foods. As you said we are eating too much. Our ancestors surely didn't have 3 meals a day. Currently, I am experimenting with fasting periods and loving it... more about that later ;). Thanks for your comment!

hey @immaturetimes <3 I just wanted to come in here and upvote your comment and say what a wonderful response! I completely agree with both you and Amy and I love that we can all come together here to inspire change. People just need to break the habit, it's nothing about nutrition. We can come together and start a huge change! This makes me so excited (PS veganism grew over 900% last year alone!) YAY! XO

I'm really glad that you agree @heart-to-heart ๐Ÿ˜Š

I too am very excited about the future ๐Ÿ˜ I can see that more and more people are starting to realise and feel the motivation to change for everyone's benefit. As you have said, it's nothing about nutrition (we can get this all with a plant-based diet, and then some from supplements), it's about the compassion and taking responsibility for our actions, as we as the human species have the most power and influence on this planet.

Your comment is very thoughful and inspiring, let's keep doing what's right and help others along the way ๐Ÿ™

Aww... this part really jerked my heart "it's about the compassion and taking responsibility for our actions, as we as the human species have the most power and influence on this planet."

Now we just need to come together, act as a collective community and spread the word, inspiring others to feel that way too. I say feel instead of think because it needs to come from the heart.

I love it :) Happy to be here with you @immaturetimes
