The girls and I had a great time at the Worcester Veg Fest yesterday. It was nice to be in a crowd of people who had the same values and thinking in terms of respecting animals and not abusing and eating them. It felt so good to sample all the tasty vegan food without having to check all the ingredients for animal products. There were warm, friendly familiar faces everywhere and yes, I felt that I belong with this crowd. I truly belong with these people. We share the same ideology and you know, when you are in that situation, then you are home. There were animal sanctuary representatives, vegan restaurant and food sellers including vegan cookies and ice-cream, animal rights activists such as PETA, MARC etc, and other vegan product makers and distributors.
Yes, some of the animal footage was disturbing to watch but was acknowledged as a necessity for, if it were not broadcast, how would people know what the animals are going through? It is not that the pretty packaged piece of meat in the supermarket had no history to it. Yes, it was a breathing, living being and its life was forcibly taken away from it and it's corpse cut up and packaged for all to purchase and devour. Gross! Parents even feed this to their children, forcing them to eat it, believing that it is healthy. On the contrary, the wrath, frustration and grief of the animal is embedded in this piece of meat and whoever eats it, will inherit all those emotions which start as the seed for various diseases such as cancer, heart disease etc. This is so even if the animal was so-called free-range as the animal knows when it is about to be killed. All the poisonous chemicals are released into its body just before its throat is cut or beheaded. Not to mention the antibiotics and growth hormones that it is fed on top of that.
Why eat thus? Why not the grains of the field, the fruits, nuts, legumes, vegetables? The natural food that humans are meant to eat. Look at our teeth. They are not that of a lion or a tiger, certainly not a carnivore. Look at your nails. They are not those of the wolf or the hyena. We are meant to be herbivores. Our digestion system, bones, teeth, nails all resemble thus. Wake up! It is not too late. See the truth for what it is and what nature really meant us to be. Just look around for clues on what nature truly intended for our diet. Countless animals are suffering. My heart is crying for them. I saw a little baby pig being stepped on by a man forcibly and he was going to.... I had to look away! God! This is so frustrating. We should not be doing this to these gentle trusting animals. They look to us for protection and instead we kill them and eat them? Strange. No, we have to change. Quickly. For time is running out.
