A Vegan State of Mind.

So one day I was searching the internet doing research about the food industry. I wanted to get information about how animals were being exploited for financial gain. I also wanted to write a blog about how the human body wasn't made to eat meat, we trained our bodies as a society to consume meat. So I started to watch videos online about how animals like chickens, pigs and cows were being killed so that people all around the world could consume them. So I started watching this video that showed me how animals were being killed and mass produced. The videos that I watched made me really question what I had become apart of. I learned in these videos that over a billion animals are created per year so that billions of people can consume them. Now most people would never watch those videos because it forces you to be aware of the reality you are apart of. You see it's easier to just go to the supermarket and buy meat because it's nicely rapped up for you, and you don't see any of the pain that any of these animals went through before they got to the supermarket. It is not humane what we are doing to animals. All genocide looks the same to me, it doesn't matter if your killing people or animals. I remember a time in America where they killed People of color just like they are killing animals. I remember a time where the constitution labeled people of color to be 3/5's of a man. I remember when people of color were being hung right outside of their home. You see if you go back into time you can see many glimpses of the human race putting their humanity to the side. Animals serve a purpose and that purpose is not for them to be produced just so that human beings can eat them. As a race we have even found a way to clone animals to further the exploitation of animals. We are not just eating animals that were naturally born we are eating animals that were genetically modified to grow faster in a very short amount of time. We have know idea the side effects of eating this meat and we won't until 10 to 20 years down the line. I wonder how many people think about what's happening to animals everyday that they eat them. When I was younger I use to say to myself how does all these restaurants and supermarkets have enough meat to service the entire country, you know how much animals have to be killed to make sure that we can go in any store and buy chicken, fish, or any type of animal product. Ohh I forgot to answer the questions, Billions of animals have to be killed so that animals can be exploited all over the world.

The funny think about exploitation of animals is they end up getting the last laugh. You see the human body was never made to consume meat. The human body was made to consume plant base foods that are alive. Our body is powered by electricity and the only foods that carry electricity are plants. So just because we have been trained as society to eat meat doesn't mean that it isn't going to have dire consequences for the human race later down the line. The consequences will be billions of people will get sick and will live a life of pain. The reason why is because meat is a dead cell. Let me give you an example of what dead cell's do in your body. Well I will paint this picture in your mind, imagine going to the supermarket and buying three different types of meat. Now after you buy the meat you come home and you put the mean on a plate and you leave the meat out for seven days. In those seven days you will watch the meat decay and eventually you will see maggots appear. Their is no difference in the process whether the meat is on the kitchen table decaying or in your body decaying. Well their is one difference, once this process happens in your body the acids in your body breaks the meat down and does its best to get the dead cell out of your body. The way the body does that is by turning the meat and the dairy products you eat into mucus. Now if you go do your research about mucus you will see that every disease known to man is derived from the mucus in your body. Once your body builds up a certain amount of mucus be clear that you will get some type of disease. What disease your body will get is based off of what elements you are around everyday. It could be pollution, dirty water, cigarettes or stress that can activate the disease in your body. So I can give the long story of how it's wrong to kill animals and how we are smart enough as a human race to figure out another way to eat without murdering a billion animals. 

I'm not going to give you the long story because if you look at history the human race has long history of exploiting animals, people, and mother earth's natural resources. I mean look at what we do to tree's all over the world, we cut them down and we destroy forest all over the world as if tree's are not giving us oxygen and taking away the carbon monoxide in the air. It seems to me that we live in a society that prefers profit over a better world. I'm starting to learn through experience that the best way to change the world is to be the chance that you want to see. If you need some inspiration then just watch a few videos on youtube go how meat is mass produced in America. Take a look at how these animals get their necks cut, how they get shot in the head and they die horrible deaths so that people can eat them. You ever wonder why we get so sick as a human race. You ever wonder why we get so stressed as a human race or what would make a person kill somebody in cold blood. I believe that eating meat is one of the variables that leads to all the animalistic behavior of human beings. These animals die horrible deaths and then we eat them everyday, I think that plays a role in our stress and anxiety levels.

I decided to be a vegan for the month of April, I felt like my body needed a break from eating meat and after I started researching what I was eating I realized that the food I was eating was killing me slow and that if I didn't make adjustments in my eating habits now that I would pay for it later down the line. I also came to the realization that I was eating bad because that's how I was taught to eat by my family and they learned how to cook from their families. I was taught how to eat in an unhealthy way because nobody knew better and I am ready to learn how to eat in a healthy way now. I no longer want to be apart of animal genocide. I can't change the way people eat over night but I can control what I eat and don't eat. I love animals, I have two cat's as pets and I had a dog. They became a part of my family and I couldn't imagine anything happening to them. it's time I have that same love and support for the billions of animals that are being killed per year.

Change doesn't happen over night, it will be hard for you to wake up and just stop eating meat. I would say first start doing research on what meat and dairy products does to the body. Then go to the doctor and research your biology. See what diseases run in your family and see what triggers will cause your body to activate these particular diseases. Just because you stop eating meat doesn't mean that billions of other people will stop eating meat. It will be a challenge and the only thing that will give you strength is having the will and the discipline to stick to eating healthy foods. I told some of my friends that I was becoming a vegan and they told me that I would always be hungry and never have energy. You see the thing about ignorance is that it's like walking toward a cliff and not knowing that if you keep walking you will fall hundred feet of the cliff. That's how I perceive ignorance, you don't know that your doing something wrong until you fall off a cliff or somebody tell's you that your about to fall off a cliff. We are not taught how to eat healthy because it is not beneficial for our society to promote healthy eating. That's why if you watch one of your favorite TV shows you will see a commercial of a business trying to sell some fast food like McDonalds or Sonic. We have been trained as a society to want instant gratification with success, our health and the things we want in our lives. Most people don't respect the process of how they get to where their going they only respect the outcome. If you want a healthy diet then you have to put the time to create that reality for yourself. That mean's you stop saying that you don't have time to work out or take care of your body. Imagine when people's heart's decide to take a day off and not work properly, that process leads to death. Eating healthy and not eating meat is a choice that you make where you realize that nothing outside of your spirit and your Creator is more important then maintaining your health. The truth is if you don't take care of your body you won't be able to do any of the things you like anyways. Eating healthy gives you more energy, and it allows your body time to really heal itself. Think about it like this when you eat meat and artificial foods your body has to work in overtime to get those things out. Imagine if your a person that has been eating unhealthy your whole life, that means that your body has never had a day off and eventually it will break down on you. Another thing to remember is that every natural germ that is on this planet has a cure on this planet. Man made medications go along the same guidelines of instant gratification. They make you feel better immediately and that is not how good health works. Honestly speaking you shouldn't need medication to heal in the first place, if you are taking care of your body it can itself. If you are not taking care of your body then you will need to take those type of medications to feel better. I am not a doctor but I do have skin Lupus and I have been dealing with it since I was eleven years old. I have been on man made medications and I have been on a natural and holistic diet. I would recommend the holistic way, it build your body up to it's healthiest state so it it can always heal itself. This process of getting rid of all your bad habits will not be easy but I believe that you can make these changes. Being healthy comes with living a healthy life and maintaining healthy relationships. If you meditate daily, take care of your body and eat real food that has real substance I think and i know that you will start to see changes in your life, I know I have. I know longer feel guilty while I'm eating, I am now able to appreciate the food I put in my body and in return it makes me appreciate the reality that me and my spirit have created for myself. I pray these words reach you in good faith and make you step outside your comfort zone. The new illiterate of the 21st century will not be people that can't read or write. The new Illiterate will be people that learn and unlearn. Nobody and I repeat I mean nobody can grow in their comfort zone, in order to evolve you have to step outside your comfort zone and go to a place where you never been and I don't just mean to a physical location. You have to go to a place in your mind where you force yourself to evolve and you add a new layer to who you are and what you represent. Before you know it 100 years will have passed and our bodies will go back into the earth, our spirit's will transition into the next phase of it's life and the world still be spinning. What will the history books say about you, did you help change this world for the better. Or were you apart of making it worst, that choice is up to you.
