Meet Your Meat

This posting is something that makes me dizzy with madness and sadness. It will likely gross you out. Please, if you eat meat, watch this. If you buy meat in a store, watch this. If you order meat from a menu, watch this. 

"Oh, I don't want to see something gross," may be what you are thinking. Let me tell you, you need to watch this. For your health, the health of your family, and the health of our planet. 

My mission is education. I want people to have the information and education to make informed decisions about their health and well-being. You have control of what you put in your mouth. I want you to make the best choices based on the information at-hand. 

It is true that my blog primarily focuses on the goodness of eating healthy, that is a positive thing. And that is what the majority of information and education will be about. Goodness. Eating fruits & veggies. Having fun with the food you consume. Fueling your body for great health. Quite to the contrary, this information today focuses on the badness of eating meat raised for the mass market, that is a negative thing.

Imagine for a moment if you switched to a vegan (no animal products) diet. One, how many more people could our planet feed if all the land devoted to animal feed crops were turned into organic farms and orchards? Have you ever thought about land use in that manner? Okay that is only one issue...

I am not going to stay perched on my soap box...just watch the video. And do come back to this blog. My intent isn't to make you feel guilty or that you are doing something wrong, I just want you to be informed. Do you want to make changes and feel better? Do you want to thrive or just survive? 

Did God really intend for us to treat animals this way? Even if you have no inclination to stop eating meat, at least change your purchase habits and buy it from a reputable farm...no antibiotics, no hormones, no tumors, no disease, no madness... Please.
