Do this! Don’t do that?
Can’t you read the signs?
This topic will ruffle feathers, raises hairs and tests people at intimate levels. It is a topic that is core to every human being. It is a topic which sustains us and is a fundamental right of our existence. We have forgotten to to care for ourselves in this “right” and there is a detailed agenda to control us and destroy us by a select few. The topic is diet and whether to include meat and animal products, how to nourish ourselves and how to take back the power of our most intimate relationship with the soils and earth! While this topic includes eating meat, it is also about the topic of food for humans as a whole. The sciences, arguments, manipulations and debates about eating animal products appears more and more like a cult of vigilantes – and, honestly, it is totally out of control. I believe this is intentional.
So, let’s cover some basics that, hopefully we can all agree upon. Food is a fundamental act of living and life. It is actually the most spiritual activity that everyone participates in regardless of colour, creed, politics or education. Most do it daily. The core and pain of poverty is the removal of food sources or food growing/raising abilities. We have lost of control of food since most do not know how to raise or grow food. One, it seems, either has to have money or wealth of money to reclaim that power. Fast food and manufactured food is now the focus of many’s diets and the cheapest diet available in the western culture. And, to eat otherwise is rather expensive. These realities are for everyone no matter your choice of diet.
Then we have our modern science that divides and separates all food into its’ building blocks and comes up with our current science of nutrition and food. But what is it “we don’t know yet” and how does that affect “what we do know”? And, are there new discoveries that changes what we thought in the past?
Then there is a science of food from a spiritual standpoint which is mostly overlooked or misunderstood by many, especially the scientists. Let me explain!
– We, humans, have physical-mineral bodies that is in common with the mineral kingdom. We need minerals as humans.
– We have etheric (life) bodies that is the carrier of all life and growth forces. This is related to the plant kingdom. We need plants.
– We have an astral body which is the container of our human feelings and instincts. This is in common with animal kingdom. We need animals.
Humans, apart from the other Kingdoms, also have the ego – that unique spark (and challenge) of the divinity in man. Ego makes possible self-awareness and enables human to become free beings capable of choices between good and evil. So, we require the different kingdoms of mineral, plant and animal as well as humans have an ego which sets us as unique in the kingdoms (not higher or better). Egos are also the force behind greed, power, control and manipulation.
I know my views in this article are going to challenge some. But, quite frankly, I am very fed up with the debate of diets and how nasty they get. I have met many vegans who feel strongly about their convictions, which is great. I honour those individuals and, unless I knew them intimately and was able to see a benefit to them trying out animal products, I accept their choice. But I stand against judging others for their personal health choices either at a personal or spiritual level. The tendency to judge others – get angry, criticize, and demean others for their choices – is no different than judging people for the colour of their skin, who they love, or whether they just look different.
On the other hand, I do feel we should ALL be against factory farms and harm to ANY part of Nature, together, as humans. This is a common dilemma for us all and it should not be the focus of whether to eat animal products or not. The focus should be upon a corrupt and evil structure that is determined to control us. But, this focus is often lost and diet ideologies have gone mad and entered scary fundamentalism (which I tend to squirm about no matter what the topic). Fundamentalism is a close minded sphere.
I will state that there are reasonable responses to all debates whether it be cruelty to animals, spiritual choices, nutritional benefits and environmental considerations. But, honestly, it seems the harsh attacks from vegan-militants could really use some animal nourishment (astral, gravity and grounding food). Sorry, that last comment was slightly judgemental! I apologize! Please feel free to reject or accept what I share. We always have a choice that is the gift of our ego that should always be attempting to be open to learning, compassionate and kind. The conclusion people draw are their own personal affairs and I intend not to argue about this. I am not judging…I am just speaking what I observe and it is not about diet, much is about how we are all manipulated by a circle of evil whose purpose is to annihilate us all.
When you delve into the outer and inner worlds of nature one learns how forces help our development as humans. I will state that if we would conceive of a land where there are beautiful children and beautiful old people, what kind of a land would this be? Perhaps ‘a land flowing with milk and honey? That old saying might be very true!
The arguments about whether we should eat meat or not can all be debated reasonably. I can accept both sides of the story and know that there are times where we need to refrain from animal products or not. For me, I came from a meat eating family and, for the reasons of ethics, nutrition and perhaps a young spiritual desire to grow independently, I went from vegetarian to vegan and eventually to high raw. I was raw for 5 years and although I felt wonderful in the beginning, over time, I began “wasting away”. It was a slow process and one that left lasting damage that I didn’t realize until it was too late. I was tired a lot. I was wishy washy in my brain, mind and thoughts (never mind my view of Spirituality). I can see this now, in hindsight. It was damaging to me.
Also, up until now, I have personally never campaigned for any particular “diet” for three reasons: 1) as “i” changed over the years, so did my diet; 2), each person is different (ie. blood type); 3), diets seem to have become like “cults” in our our culture. It is scary to speak your opinion nowadays lest the haters attack you. However, I am feeling a need to express my views as “food” is such a centre of our common bond. Currently, I do eat meat choosing the organic and pasture fed meats and raising animals for meat sources. I offer full gratitude to Mother Nature for this offering and the blessings it provides.
In my younger years, I was idealistic about saving the “world” and relied upon the professionals to tell me “how it is”. I studied nutrition and natural health but, in these studies, I realized that the Nutritional Science is very young and like most sciences, was missing a sacred element of consideration that even I didn’t understand and overlooked. The science is black and while and has made many mistakes (remember the blooper on butter?). As I gradually morphed towards high raw, I admit I felt amazing for a time in the beginning. Then, something happened. It was slow and undetectable at first. I felt like I was wasting away and was weak at all levels of my being. In actual fact and since I studied Ayurveda, I began to understand that that high vata (air) raw diet was causing me to become an air-head. Due to need (I was very sick), I craved and decided to included meat back into my diet. It was a reset and quite possibly saved my life. In hindsight, I damaged my body in this vegan and high raw state. Also, I now realize the crazy kerfuffle of our food systems and falsely projected food pyramids that are dangerous to many. I have gained a healthy scepticism of mind towards what is going on in regards to the governance of our food and food systems and why. There is much more that meats the eye and the hatred and fundamentalism of the vegan world is nastily out of control. I wondered if this was part of a bigger plan? If food is what binds us all, then it would be good to have the human’s arguing and dividing, never mind being undernourished and weak. Let’s look down on each other…that is the way they desire it to be. That, my friends, is NOT the way!
Frankly and collectively, we are in a mess when it comes to our food sources. I do not believe nor do I rely upon the “powers” to fix our current state of affairs. They want us in a mess. It is important to understand the “how” and “why” of the mess so we get the “what now?” We have to take back this power of our food. The picture of our current world is all about big business, big pharma, big food production that all leads back to big money. In fact, they have us in such a place that if you have no money and no gardening skills, you actually have no access to nourishment (poverty). The manipulation is a ladder of corruption that has inoculated the minds of many intelligent and gentle people. It is killing the poor. It is killing the animals, the plants, the kingdoms that should be as one. One only has to research Agenda 21 to figure this out. And, yes, this Agenda addresses meat and is against meat stating it is a cause of cancer. In fact, the powers that be (the big money) are now into promoting and profiting from vegan meats. I sigh!
The Future of Protein: Leo DiCaprio is one of many high-profile luminaries to invest in Beyond Meat. The California-based company is also financially supported by Bill Gates, along with prominent corporations such as General Mills and even Tyson Foods. The company also receives funding from several key venture capital firms, including PowerPlant Ventures, New Crop Capital, Cleveland Avenue, and Blue Horizon Group, among others. Leonardo DiCaprio Predicts Vegan Meat Is ‘The Future of Protein’ Leonardo DiCaprio, an investor in the vegan meat company Beyond Meat, believes that plant-based meat is the “future of protein.”
Here is Beyond Meat’s Vision Statement:
We believe there is a better way to feed the planet. Our mission is to create mass-market solutions that perfectly replace animal protein with plant protein. We are dedicated to improving human health, positively impacting climate change, conserving natural resources and respecting animal welfare. At Beyond Meat, we want to make the world a better place and we’re starting one delicious meal at a time.
Folks, there are a couple of things wrong here. First, I refer you to the movie Soylent Green. This is scary! Also consider doing some research on the “investors” listed above. They are not upstanding humans or credible corporations! Beyond Meat’s vision statement is seriously flawed. Our collective environmental problem has its’ roots in plant agriculture. In the past 200 years, the use of land for agriculture has risen from 431 million ha to 1.52 billion ha. Agriculture has destroyed our soil/Tierra. Over 50% of our land mass is used for agriculture, 32% is used for meat and dairy and 67% for plant based foods. (Source) We are using MORE land for plant-food and disregarding the replenishment or fortification of this core sediment. The argument that animal-production is destroying our earth does not match the numbers here. Yes, we are growing corn for the factory farms. That sucks! Factory farms are not natural and what is fed to factory farmed animals is also big business (money) corruption. If any of the ancient religions predicted that eating meat was an evil that would destroy us, may I suggest this is the reason why! It is cruel and callous to the animals and factory farmed animals are poison to us. The truth is Cows are not designed to eat corn. Unlike humans, they have two stomachs to digest greens and grass. Does that tell you something? Yet, corn is their food in these subsidized, fully supported (by your government) big farms. And, humans are flogged with corn in our products too! Hmmmm, are they treating us the same? Back to cows…they are meant to graze. Same with lambs, goats and sheep and chickens. Their digestive systems are perfect for this diet. And, the questions arises “do we want big-business (money) mass-marketing plant protein to us now?” It is a little crazy, don’t ya think?
Let’s return to Agenda 21 for a moment! When a small group of elite (wealthiest of us all) people establish their agenda and insert their views on the masses, I am sceptical and tend to step back and ask “why?” Agenda 21 talks about “Sustainable development” and imho, is far more about population control and control of the masses that anything else. If you want to know more about the threat of Agenda 21, it is succinctly summarized in the You Tube video “Agenda 21 for Dummies.” And here is another excellent article on the danger of this Agenda from Natural News
According to Weston Price, Agenda 21 reveals that “…grass-based farmers and those seeking healthy food from nontoxic farms are facing a new political threat, foisted on an unsuspecting populace worldwide… a forty-chapter blueprint for population control and world control that emerged from the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janero.” Weston Price Foundation. Basically, Agenda 21 mandate the assistance to factory farmers who are subsidized by the bankers and wipe out the grass-based farmers. I ask “if this is so, why do they want the practice of grass fed animals stopped and why are they supporting and subsidizing the poison of the factory farms? The Agenda goes as far to say the meat causes cancer. Could it be that the factory farmed cows are the cause of this concern of cancer due to the chemicals and conditions of these animals? Is this more likely to cause cancer? I think so! Organic Meat is NOT causing cancer. In fact, I live in Ecuador and the guinea pig, “cuy”, is a popular meat source. In 1940 American researchers discovered that cuy meat contains an enzyme called “Asparaginase” that prevents tumour growth. The asparaginase acts against the Amino Acid, Aspargina, Aspargina is what is connected to cancer growth. It turns it into aspartic acid, which is harmless to humans. So, Agenda 21 has it wrong unless they are talking about factory farm meat…but they did not elaborate for us. It is conniving and all amounts to a plan of population control disguised as a “protect the people” plan. It is bull shit. My eye brows are totally raised!
I think we can all agree that a nutrient dense diet is good for us…especially now as we are deep into at least two generations of poor soils and mass produced food. Let me state that vegetarian, vegan and raw diets can be healthy and necessary at some points and, imho, these diets are far healthier than the typical American factory produced diets. But, I feel these diets are to be utilized for periods of time and used to balance and adjust our health, not as a lifestyle. As a lifestyle, these diets can also be insidiously dangerous over the long term. I am proof of that!
The argument about animal cruelty is also one that we should all agree upon. We have devastatingly crossed the line with the factory farms that our governments’ support. Animals are treated cruelly. I talked about cows fed corn above. Any factory farmed animal is treated cruelly. And, I also say that plants are treated cruelly too. Plants do respond to life just in a different way than those of the animal kingdom. Their defence mechanisms is not the same, but they do defend themselves nonetheless. Plants, unlike animals, can not run away when they are about to be killed. They can’t scream, cry out loud or holler for their safety. Their emotional bodies are different. Does that make them less? Their defence mechanism is structured differently. First, consider that plants have tastes and some (actually a lot) taste of bitter and pungent. These tastes indicate “poison” and “medicine”. Animals know this and will not eat these plants unless needed. Perhaps equally as important, many plants contain anti-nutrients. For example phytic acid (nuts, seeds and grains) bind to minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and zinc and prevent the absorption of these minerals in the body. Human’s need these minerals. So while “healthy whole grains” may contain reasonable levels of micronutrients such as iron and zinc, the argument is that the anti-nutrients prevent the absorption of the nutrients, making those foods either not healthy or even harmful to us. Another anti-nutrient is lectins (a sugar-binding protein found in legumes). Lectins cause a lot of irritation to the gut lining and maybe the main player in Leaky Gut Syndrome (and the rising peanut allergies). Lectins can potentially penetrate the intestinal wall entering the blood stream and causing all kinds of havoc due to the subsequent immune response. These protein molecules are attacked by the body as foreign invaders, resulting in inflammation and potentially systemic and chronic diseases such as leaky-gut, other gastrointestinal issues and even auto-immune disease. Leaky-gut syndrome has been linked to a host of serious diseases, from rheumatoid arthritis to autism and even depression (Chris Kresser).
As for our ancestry, there is plenty of evidence to show we have eaten meat and plants for a long time. Humans are well adapted to foods such vegetables, fruits, tubers and meat because our species has been eating them for millennia. We are not sacrificing these plants and animals. We are in relationship with them, a deep cosmological bond. There is now evidence that shows human health declined with the introduction of “agricultural” foods. Sure, our ancestors might not lived as long as we do now, but there are many other factors involved in this…it is not related to meat eating as the argument states. Genetic and cultural changes occurred to help humans adapt to an agricultural diet, and they do influence how individuals tolerate meat. This explains why some people are able to include moderate amounts of dairy, grains, and/ or legumes in their diets— especially when these foods are pre-digested by fermenting, soaking, sprouting, or leavening— without ill effect. Cooking kills the anti nutrients. Cooking also kills the enzymes. So, there has to be an understanding and blend to our diet. And now we are discovering that Kale and some crucifiers are considered a goitrogenic food, meaning that it contains substances (goitrogens) that may contribute to an enlarged thyroid. To call a vegan diet “natural” for humans, in terms of evolution, is a bit (no a huge) stretch for me. The evidence that we are meat eaters or that animal products are important for our health is very solid for me. And, I feel that animal products has an important part to play in diet and nutrition on many different levels and has so for millions of years. Our teeth, tummy and digestive knows how to digest meat. It was only in the last 100 years that we started to change our ways and this is influenced by “agriculture”. Let me say it again, agriculture is tied to big money.
The argument of the hierarchy of nature is another claim by the vegan culture against meat. As “thinking” beings (ones with egos), this does make sense as we can make the choice between good and evil. But, Nature doesn’t think like we do and is not cursed/challenged with this duality. In fact, Nature’s has more wisdom without the busyness of morality. There is not an upper and lower class of consciousness in Nature. Nature is cyclical. Everything depends on everything else. There are Spiritual Agreements so that we all survive. Steiner talks about the cosmological agreement between Chickens and Humans. Humans domesticated (as such) the chicken and they flourish as a species. This agreement provided human’s nourishment. Look at the success of the chicken on our plane! Similarly, plants have an agreement with insects. Plants learned at a very deep and Spiritual level to present flowers to the insects so insects would ensure their survival. There are many cosmological contracts that work very well and ensure survival of the species. There is a round and round in Nature…not an up and down or higher and lower.
In all earth centered cultures, the harvesting and gathering of food is inter-wound with sacred threads where the consumption of the food is a sacrament. In today’s “science-based” world, this aspect of spiritual nutrition is invisible, unmeasurable and undiscussed. We lost it. In the beginning, nutrition begins with milk from mother’s breast and perhaps in the beginning this was the same as the nourishment from the Milky Way? At one point in our incarnations, we may have been fed from the milky way but as we individualized this substance internalized into the female so she provided that milky way nutrition. Just a thought to consider!
Vegan extremists refer to the cultures of the east being vegetarian and how they have thrived. The eastern vegetarian diet, based on respect for all life, comes from India’s little-known Jain tradition. Now comparatively obscure, Jainism was the predominant cult of a large portion of India from the 5th to 12th centuries. During this time, the doctrine of ahimsa (non-violence) and vegetarianism spread widely. But Ayurveda is much more ancient than this and the texts of Ayurveda make provision for meat eaters as well as vegetarians. So while there are many good and some compelling reasons to use a vegetarian diet for medicine, Ayurveda doesn’t promote vegetarianism. If you study the Ayurvedic texts, meat was included as medicine and nourishment. In Ayurveda, food and medicine should be “satmya” or agreeable. If one detests the medicines or the food, he might not get the full psychosomatic benefit from them. So, yes, if a person is a vegetarian by faith or believe a chicken soup will make him more sick, it will. If he is non-alcoholic by faith, alcoholic cough syrups might have zero effects or side effects. This is because mind controls all body responses on conscious or subconscious level. Similarly, an active person, for example an athlete or body builder might benefit immensely from a non vegetarian diet because it is compatible to his nature. It will be unfair if he is denied his best suited diet. We are all different.
On this topic, the sacred cow in Indian cultures is a point to discuss further. The cow is the animal of digestion. It is, moreover, the animal which accomplishes digestion in such a way that there lies in its digestive processes the earthly reflection of something actually super-earthly; its whole digestive process is permeated with an astral-concept which reflects the entire cosmos in a wonderful, light-filled way. There is a whole world in the organism of the cow and that is why it is considered sacred. In our experience, everything is based on gravity, everything is so organized around this energy of gravity. A cow needs to consume about an eighth of its weight in food each day. Man can be satisfied with a 1/14th and remain healthy. Perhaps the cow needs earth’s gravity in order to fully meet the needs of its organism. Cows are designed for the gravity of matter. The metabolizing of 1/8 of it’s weight binds the cow with its material substance to the earth. This is why, I believe, the cow is an object of so much veneration for those who follow the Hindu religion. The Hindu says to himself: The cow lives here on the earth; but through this fact it creates in physical matter, subject to gravity, an image of something super-earthly.
If you scratch the surface of the diet arguments you’ll find you start questioning people. It’s not about food. It is more about an ideology, and to some degree it has become cultish. Cults are intended and manipulated (Tavistock) They are on very dangerous grounds. Personally what bothers me about the “diet” arguments are there are many (not all) emotionally hysterical vegans who use their lifestyle as an excuse to justify a vicious contempt and egotism bordering on the demonic and, two on the other side of the equation, there are self-absorbed meat eaters who have no regard for animals and gorge themselves way beyond diet necessity out of greed and sloth. Plants and animals have a level of consciousness! And, we do too!
When I look around I feel to an immense degree that nature is related to us and we are all connected. From an esoteric point of view, we can compare the human body to a plant by reversing the human (roots are our head and the leaf and flowers (sexual energy) is in our lower torso.) We have animal instincts related to our survival and flight and fight response and a “ra, ra” energetic need of the animal kingdom. If I am active, I know I require meat protein for this energetic nourishment. The human body is a microcosm of the macrocosm and it contains within all the secrets of the all the kingdoms. It is indeed true that the things we perceive inwardly — our thoughts, feelings, will, impulses and memory pictures — seen from the other side, outside in the macrocosm, can be found again in the realm of nature and they are there to nourish. We are collective.
Science does not understand this. What does science do? It analyses protein to see how much carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, sulphur, etc. are in it. It finds there is so much per cent of carbon and so much per cent of hydrogen in protein. Fat contains a different percentage and carbohydrates are again different. But science is completely ignorant of the fact that these substances themselves have their own energetic significance. Science only knows the percentages of the constituents. But this does not help us get anywhere.
If someone is not biologically suited for veganism (blood type) they will suffer from malabsorption and malnutrition, fatigue, spacey headedness like me. Basically their total ability to help other people spiritually will decline. This effect has a worse impact on the system as a whole, and therefore the future of mankind. That’s not an enlightened thing to do. Enlightenment is a synonym for acting on behalf on the greater good for all, imho.
Some spiritual practices require a vegetarian diet at least in the days or weeks leading up to it. Usual explanation is that meat lowers your vibration and therefore you can’t pull these maneuvers with such lowered vibes. I am not sure about that. For the same reason fasting is recommended — because the body must be made weak through starvation and malnutrition, so that the soul and spirit can more easily detach then we are more open to evil. The stronger the body, the greater its “magnetic” pull on the soul. Remember the cow and it’s relation to gravity? So, this must mean that meat imparts bodily grounding and vitality — to a degree. Thus if you need to be “here” in reality, if you need to be grounded and sharp, and if you need to have physical energy and boldness. Animal products might be the way,.
If you are going to eat, be mindful and respectful, and, please don’t support abusive farming at any level (meat or plant). Get out of the supermarket! If you are believer that there is a hierarchy to the different “kingdoms” then you would believe human’s are “above” all other kingdoms. For me, that is ego gone crazy! We are all connected. Considering we are what we eat, I feel we do need to feed all levels of our being/bodies. Balance is the key in mineral, plant and animal nourishment so that our ego can be in alignment with our Soul/Spirit. It is all connected.
Below I provide some links for your further research and some information about the nutrition in meat. I decided to include these sections as not a part of this article…but as a reference for your education and further research…..which I hope I have inspired.

Nutritional Benefits of Meat
Protein
After water, protein is the most plentiful substance in our bodies. Without protein we cannot create enzymes, antibodies, milk, menses, skin, hair, nails, muscle, brain, heart, or organs. We require twenty-two different amino acids (building blocks of protein), of which eight are considered essential nutrients. Animal foods contain all essential amino acids. No one food of vegetable origin contains them all, but combinations (such as corn and beans) do. Each and every amino acid must be present at once in the body, and in the correct proportions, for protein synthesis. If even one essential amino acid is low or missing, even temporarily, protein production slows or stops altogether.(2) Adult women can be healthy on low protein diets; however children, pregnant, lactating, and menopausal women require high levels of protein.
Fats
Fat is the most concentrated source of energy in the diet. Found in vegetable seeds, beans, and nuts, fruits such as olives and avocados, and in all animal products, fat is vital to women’s health. Unfortunately, many American women avoid fat. A recent study (1999) found 26 percent of women deficient in vitamin E due to low-fat diets.
Linoleic, linolenic, and arachidonic fats are the essential fatty acids, but all fats, especially cholesterol, are vital for the formation of sex hormones (especially postmenopausally), adrenal hormones, vitamin D (for strong bones), and bile. Low cholesterol diets make women’s skin and vaginal tissues dry and impede the functioning of the brain and nervous system.
The belief that saturated fats elevate blood cholesterol, causing blocked blood vessels, s-trokes and heart attacks has prevailed since the mid-1960s. Yet most researchers consider this idea simplistic and without scientific justification. In the Framingham Heart Study (USA), the greater a person’s intake of total fat, saturated fat, and monounsaturated fat, the lower their risk of stroke. And, while high blood cholesterol levels were a risk factor for heart disease, fat and cholesterol intake in the diet were inversely correlated with blood cholesterol. Swedish studies confirm that saturated fats promote breast health, while vegetable oils (such as canola, safflower, corn, cottonseed, and sunflower oils) promote breast cancer.
Animal fats are more stable than vegetable oils, which become rancid within days after press-ing. (Rancid fats promote cancer and heart disease.) Hydrogenation and partial-hydrogenation slow rancidity but create trans-fatty acids that create deposits on the blood vessels. Even unhydrogenated vegetable oils are unhealthy: They flood the body with omega-6 fatty acids (the primary fat component of arterial plaque), and contribute large amounts of free radicals that damage the arteries and initiate plaque deposits.
The fundamental vitamins required by the human being are ABCD. A and D are both found in animal meat. Vitamin D is the sunshine vitamin. Vitamin A helps to produce life; symptoms of its deficiency are the drying and hardening disorgers– and night blindness. Vitamin A, in allowing in the forces of new life, acts like silver. It is useful in squamous cell cancers (hardening of the surface). The forces of vitamin D are polar to those of A, bringing light forces (D3) into bone formation; large quantities of D are also found in deep sea fish.
Let’s look at the nutritional value of organic and pasture raised meat:
- B12 (found in meat, seaweed and dirt – so you could eat dirt or copious amounts of sea weed),
- Creatine – stored in our muscles and concentrated in the brain. Creatine is an energy (endurance) source. It is not essential but it improves our brain functions.Carnosine
- Carnosine is an antioxidant that is concentrated in the muscles and brain and improves our energy levels
- Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) D3 is an essential nutrient that has many important functions that include improving brain functions and emotional happiness.
- Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) DHA is an essential omega-3 fatty acid. Deficiency in DHA can have adverse effects on mental health and brain function, especially in children.
- Heme-iron Heme-iron is a type of iron only found in meat, especially red meat and it helps fight fatigue and tiredness.
- Taurine – a sulfur compound found in various body tissues, including the brain, heart and kidneys. It is not essential but acts as a antioxidant and lowers cholesterol and blood pressure.
Other than Taurine, all of the above has a common denominator: brain function and energy level. Take away or diminish someone’s brain function and energy and what are you left with? Then I came across evidence that eating meat was important to the development of our brains (Live Science article) in evolution. The article states we began to shy away from eating primarily fruit, leaves and nuts and began eating meat and then our brains grew. We developed the capacity to use tools, so our need for large, sharp teeth and big grinders waned. And, it seems, you can’t have a large brain and big guts at the same time – so heed this calling all you MacDonalds Fast Fooders!
The End!
