Six reasons to switch to a Plant-Based diet:
1. Human Body is not Designed to Consume Meat
Nature has fashioned every organism either a carnivore (an organism that feeds on other organisms) or an herbivore (an organism that feeds on plants). By looking at our own physical features, we can judge whether we are designed carnivores or herbivores. If Nature had designed meat as our natural food, wouldn’t she have given us sharp nails and teeth to tear it apart, shorter intestines, strong hydrochloric acid, and night vision eyes? Nature does not make mistakes. Meat is not our natural food.
2. Animal Food is linked to Multiple Diseases
The people who eat the most animal protein have the most heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. – Dr. Tim Colin Campbell (The China Study)
3. Animal Sweat is Toxic and Harmful
Imagine that a chicken or pig is placed in a row to be slaughtered a moment later. Their fear of death causes a rush of adrenaline through their body, which makes them sweat profusely. Large amounts of toxins are released from the animals’ cells when it sweats. These toxins remain in the layers between the animal’s skin and are served to people in the name of food. If we are eating meat, we are not only eating the flesh of dead animals, but all the toxins that exist in its body. Over the years, these toxins are retained in the blood stream and tissues vitiating the blood, giving rise to inflammation, pain, functional disturbances, and degenerative ailments.
4. Our Digestive System is not a graveyard
When a someone dies, we take their body to a cemetery or graveyard to be burnt or buried. But when we consume the dead body of an animal or bird, aren’t we making your own stomach a graveyard? Think about it. Our body should be a garden, not a graveyard. All religions of this world have favored vegetarianism.
5. Animals have a Revenge on us
What we do always comes back to us. It is called the law of Karma. Even when we kill or eat an animal, the animal has a revenge on us. The revenge is that they slowly begin to kill us, by giving us heart disease, cancer, strokes, etc. It is instant karma that we can understand.
6. Affect of Meat on our Mind
What we eat dramatically affects the way we think. Food has consciousness. We cannot remain positive by ingesting a consciousness of poison, pain, and death. Factory-farmed animals are kept in darkness and squeezed together in inhospitable cages. If we eat the flesh of tortured animals, their energy and consciousness at that time is transferred to us. Not only do we ingest the animal, but also the pain, exhaustion, and sorrow of those beings. Our body begins to accumulate that death energy, which manifests within us in the form of anger, violence, depression, and illness. On the other hand, if we take living food and positive, living thoughts, we also become positive and living!
