You can adopt a generic vegetarian or vegan diet, and live as long as meat-eaters but no longer…or you can follow the therapeutic plant-based diets recommended by McDougall, Ornish, Esselstyn, Barnard, Pritikin, or Fuhrman, etc. -- and dramatically increase your health and prevent life-shortening disease~ Jeff Nelson >Link

Professor Vegehead (Food for thought about food)

There are non-dietary reasons to eat fewer animal products. Even if their nutritional profile were unambivalently beneficial, they use too many resources: land, water, energy and food that could nourish people~ M. Bittman

My heart is lifted at the sight of the rising tide of vegans… each one living proof that it’s possible for human beings to evolve their nature from that of predator to one of protector~ Butterflies Katz

The vegan ideal embodies the highest of spiritual and ethical aspirations – non-violence, harmlessness, reverence for life, and the cultivation of compassion toward the innocent. It is cause for celebration that we are blessed with the ability to bring such noble qualities down to earth by simply eliminating from our lives the products and practices that require the exploitation of other beings~ Angel Flinn

Veganism is how you can change yourself, but changing the system, that is a formidable Herculean task~ Alexandra Jones

The standard diet of a meat-eater is blood, flesh, veins, muscles, tendons, cow secretions, hen periods and bee vomit… during a certain holiday in November meat-eaters use the hollowed-out rectum of a dead bird as a pressure cooker for stuffing. And PEOPLE THINK VEGANS ARE WEIRD because we eat tofu~ Gary Yourofsky

While junk food may be 4 times cheaper than vegetables, there's 20 times less nutrition. For meat, we'd be spending 3 times more to get 16 times less. Beans and raw vegetables are less expensive, nutrient dense, and may be more satiating~ Michael Greger, NutritionFacts >Link

School food service professionals nurture the minds and bodies of students every day. The food they serve plays a role in the health, behavior, and academic performance of students. Yet many school meal staffs are not seen as part of the educational team. In order to change that perception and provide training to become classroom educators, the Trumansburg, New York food service staff participated in a food literacy education project during the 2011 – 2012 School Year. They were part of a group of community volunteers who were trained as food educators by the Food Studies Institute, (FSI), www.foodstudies.org. The food literacy project developed by Antonia Demas, Ph.D., president of FSI, is designed to teach students about healthy foods through sensory-based education and link the lessons to science, math, social studies, art, language arts, and health education...>Link

For most of the last 100 years, Syngenta, Monsanto, DuPont, BASF, Dow, Bayer and four or five others companies have sold allegedly “miraculous” products to farmers, products that have grown increasingly toxic and climate-unfriendly over time.

MESSAGE TO WHITAKER WELLNESS CENTER: I rely on that nutritional science which disdains Eggs as mediocre at best, far less beneficial when one considers the cruelty of factory farming with its emphasis on cheap, unnatural feed, hormones, antibiotics, etc. There’s no reason to compromise on such important and broad-based issues when a plant-based diet provides optimum nutrition without the many drawbacks and compromises.

BAD NEWS- Get Motivated:

A. SALMONELLA IN CHICKEN & TURKEY: DEADLY BUT NOT ILLEGAL: Salmonella sickens about 200,000 Americans each year from chicken, with 80% fecal contamination rate >Link

B. More than 90% of soybeans, 80% of corn and 70% of grain grown in the US goes to feed livestock! 800 million more people could be fed using that grain~ David Pimentel, Cornell University

C. WORRISOME LEVELS OF LEAD FOUND IN RICE IMPORTED FROM Asia, Europe and South America. 7 percent of US consumption affected >http://ti.me/131zGWq

GOOD NEWS- Breakthroughs:

A. Columbia University Mailman School of Health, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and Syracuse University Newhouse School of Public Communications promote Meatless Monday

B. From our initial 13,182 hand-folded and hand-stapled booklets in 1994, to 2012’s 2,786,582 copies of Compassionate Choices, Even If You Like Meat, and Why Vegan?, Vegan Outreach booklets have been used by activists around the world to expose the hidden brutality inflicted on farmed animals, while making an honest and thorough case for sustainable ethical eating:

E. Perdue facing a lawsuit for falsely labeling their poultry as “humane” >Read More »

F. National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) decided NOT to allow tetracycline for organic apple and pear production beyond 2014

G. EMERGENCY PRECAUTIONS: 1- Learn to sprout. Sunflower seeds kept refrigerated in glass jars may last for years, germinate well, super easy to sprout. 2- Keep an expanded pantry of essentials 3- Container gardening requires no electric pump. Grow directly in bags of soil or Soil-filled container. Shallow containers for lettuce, spinach, sunflower sprouts 4- Keep heirloom seeds in fridge 5- Use high-quality water filter.

Wellness spontaneously arises most frequently in an ambiance of genuinely-caring health care, natural beauty, affection, organic cleanses, and funlovingkindness~ Master of Bliss Admin Team

Professor Vegehead (Food for thought about food)

Poem: TRIB-ULATIONS OF TRIBE-ULATION- I’m working on a poem about the challenging ‘tribal’ aspects of worldwide veganism~ PV

Bliss can only be achieved by ethical means, starting with eco-peace, harmony and respectful sovereignty for all earthlings~ BLISSOLOGY UNIVERSITY

HOLY COW, VEGANMAN: St. Francis (Pope’s namesake) and St. Catherine of Siena were vegetarians >Link

The essence of the mentality that allows us to confine and kill animals for food is the mentality of exclusion. We are all taught by our culture from infancy to exclude certain beings from the sphere of our compassion. Veganism is a radical response to this: it is a mentality of utter inclusion: we consciously practice including all living beings within our circle of caring; we exclude no one
~ Dr. Will Tuttle

COW'S MILK lacks important nutrients that are disease-preventing, like fiber, and contains cholesterol which can contribute to heart disease. Caseins from milk can also interfere with the absorption of iron and vitamin D in the digestive tract. Consumption of cow's milk in early childhood has been under investigation as a contributing factor to type 1 diabetes~ April 2013, T. Colin Campbell Foundation News

EARLY VEGETARIANS WERE REALLY VEGANS Before Watson invented the word ‘Vegan’ the word ‘Vegetable’ had a wider meaning as in ‘animal, vegetable, or mineral.’

Gary Yourofsky

It is not your right—based on YOUR traditions, YOUR customs and YOUR habits—to deny animals THEIR freedom so you can harm them, enslave them and kill them. That's not what rights are about. That's injustice. There is no counter-argument to veganism. Accept it. Apologize for the way you've been living. Make amends and move forward~ G.Y.

DIET AND BEHAVIOR IN YOUNG CHILDREN: dyes, preservatives and imitation flavors lead to irritability, sleep deprivation and aggressive behavior. Over 4,000 additives are used in the SAD, which causes hyperactivity in one in four children in America. In Europe, where less than 20 additives are legal, hyperactivity affects only one in 2,000 children… Magnesium, found in green vegetables, can help moderate behavior, yet most children do not get enough >www.SuperHealthyChildren.com/Blog

NewsFlash:

Q: Bill Gates: Why should people consider replacing meat in their diets? A: Three principal motivators: health, because we know high consumption of red meat correlates with higher chances of certain cancers; and the environment, because we know that conventional meat production is one of the biggest drivers of climate change, as well as water and pollution; and ethics, since the animal factories that produce most of our meat and milk are brutal places where animals suffer needlessly~ Michael Pollan (Author, The Omnivore's Dilemma)

CAROTENOIDS IN FRUITS AND VEGETABLES MAY LOWER BREAST CANCER RISK >Link

When your cholesterol is 150 (not 200 as the AMA's target), half of the heart attacks occur. Mini-strokes occur because the fat in your brain interferes with the circulation of your blood's electrical system ~Dr. Flora Mason Van Orden N.D.

Consume a VARIETY OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES because key phytonutrients are not evenly distributed among the various families and plant-parts ~Dr. Greger

Serial angiograms of people’s heart arteries show that all three types of fat—saturated (animal) fat, monounsaturated (olive oil), and polyunsaturated (omega-3 and -6 oils)—were associated with significant increases in new atherosclerotic lesions over one year of study.3 Only by decreasing the entire fat intake, including poly- and monounsaturated-oils, did the lesions stop growing ~McDougall Breaking News

34 CHOICE ARTICLES >http://www.earthsavemiami.org/articles

ANIMALS: The question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?" ~Jeremy Bentham

HOLY COW, VEGANMAN: Christian vegetarianism is the practice of extending the compassionate teachings of Jesus, through vegetarianism or veganism >https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Christian_vegetarianism

…if you’re an ethical vegetarian who avoids the products of animal slaughter, keep in mind that offering financial support to the dairy industry is essentially agreeing to support the killing of male calves for the production of veal ~Rennet, by Angel Flinn

A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite. And to act so is immoral ~Leo Tolstoy

CAMBRIDGE DECLARATION ON CONSCIOUSNESS: Convergent evidence indicates that non-human animals have the neuroanatomical, neurochemical, and neurophysiological substrates of conscious states along with the capacity to exhibit intentional behaviors. Consequently, the weight of evidence indicates that humans are not unique in possessing the neurological substrates that generate consciousness. Non-human animals, including all mammals and birds, and many other creatures, including octopuses, also possess these neurological substrates ~Philip Low >Link
