The
Disadvantages of Eating Meat
There are many physical
disadvantages to eating meat. Some of these disadvantages are:
1. A meat-eater not only takes in the animal cells
and fats, etc. but also the waste products, e.g. chemically treated food
fed to the animals, drugs injected into the animal in the slaughter house,
intoxicants, coloring and tenderizers sprayed on the dead animal by the market
suppliers. By the way, hamburgers are made from Cow
with the four D’s (Dead, Dying, Disabled, or Diseased) This is why so
many children and young adults have died from eating hamburgers. It's also
the reason why hamburgers have the highest recall of E-Coli.
2. It is also suspected that
meat-eaters are prime
candidates for degenerative diseases such as high blood pressure, arthritis, gout,
etc. Meat is one of the major sources of internal
pollution. When an animal is slaughtered, un-eliminated waste products
remain in the tissue of the animal which often give the meat its stimulating
flavor. Uric acid and adrenaline are secreted into the bloodstream, muscles of
animals and stored. The fear and struggle to escape death stimulates the
secretion of hormones like epinephrine and norepinephrine. Most animals
(especially cows) are injected with steroids before they are slaughtered. No
edible plant product has similar toxicity. The human body has to work 15 times
more to get rid of these toxin.
3.A parasite known for inducing miscarriage,
blindness, jaundice and nervous disorders in newborn babies was found in
samples of animal meat from abattoirs and markets (particularly in third world
countries). An article in the German Bunte magazine, entitled 'Karnka
von Tiere' (Diseases from Animal) pointed out the diseases that arise from
consumption of meat, apart from the reckless wastage of precious land and
natural resources for livestock breeding.
The article also emphasized
on the benefits of meatless diet and the current trend towards vegetarianism by
an increasing number of Germans and other Europeans, especially amongst the
younger generation. As a result of overall concern for health, meat consumption in the west is
declining. According to
the Vegetarian society in UK, 9% of the population in UK and US are complete
vegetarians with the number constantly increasing.
4. To preserve fish and prawns and other crustaceans,
boric acid is widely used by food manufacturers. It attacks the liver and the
brain, causing fits and coma before the victim dies of liver damage.
Fruits and vegetables, however heavily sprayed, don't grow hormones,
antibiotics and other drugs common in meat products.
5. Pigs carry trichinosis
bacteria that cling to the walls of the stomach and intestines, which can be
fatal. Beef and pork are
highly acid forming and release into the blood-stream toxic poisons and
microbes. But the WBC in blood may not be sufficient to destroy these
microbes and so the toxic reactions set in.
Dr. Gary Fraser a Professor of Epidemiology at Loma Linda University
affirms that fruit, vegetables
and fibre protect one against heart diseases. It has been clinically
tested that because of less fat and zero cholesterol, vegetarian diets are much
better. So, when you try a vegetarian diet, you will find yourself light,
relaxed and spiritualized. Remember that you are what you eat. The food taken into your body is
what gradually but surely forms your thought-patterns. Your thoughts,
both conscious and subconscious are in total control of your body's health or
lack of it. So keep this motto in mind................Choose health by choosing
vegetarianism!
