OPPOSITES
For those of you that go against vegetarianism and veganism, I would like to add a perspective of your diet:
MEAT (All dead, rotting, chemical injected flesh foods including fish)
LIQUID FAT. (All Dairy is cooked up to 500 degrees)
CHICKEN’S PERIOD (Eggs)
NON- ORGANIC FOODS (Endless chemicals injected to extend shelf life for months)
The bottom line is, when you eat the OPPOSITES, not only will you have a short life, but you will be loaded with poisons, chemicals, synthetics, constant medical prescriptions, constant MD visits and lots of pains. The human form is specifically and anatomically designed to consume plant-based foods, which goes against the money makers and TV ads.
P.S. Did anyone see the February 2008 media report of the 146 million pounds of contaminated meat that was recalled? The problem being that most of the contaminated meat has already been consumed through the school lunch program, the food banks and the meatheads!
Any other questions?
Aloha!
