Not sure if it was mentioned in the last segment, I just caught the ending but this web site it all about the topic.

I disagree with you, Thom, saying, "Vegetarianism is Non-Violent". Vegetarianism is NOT non-violent. You must read the book, "THE SECRET LIFE OF PLANTS". Tests are done with electrodes connected to plants. When a person walks in the room with a knife and just an INTENT to cut the plant, the plant knows it, and reacts with big fluctuations in the electric field, the equivalent to screaming.

So, "ripping" carrots out of the soil, chopping and grinding and masticating, is very violent to the vegetable. Ripping tomatoes off the umbillical cord of the Mother plant IS VIOLENT. Cutting open and "gutting" a pumpkin, peeling the "skin" off a potato that has been dug out of its home, mashing, steaming, boiling these life forms that have a very real reaction.

Electronically, these plant forms are screaming. It is documented with factual data. Just because you don't hear the screams, does not mean there is no violence to these life forms.

All are sacred, all are alive with multi-dimensional consciousness. Let me tell you my experience. We raised ducks, and always blessed and thanked the duck when it was butchering time. We held it to love it, and said "Fly free of this body and be a Canadian Goose, be free!". Within two years, a mated pair of Canadian Geese with 7 newly hatched goslings came into our backyard where we fed the ducks, and these wild Canadian Geese raised their young in our yard. We watched the babies get their feathers. We watched the parents teach their young how to fly and land on solid ground. We watched them learn navigation by honking back and forth to one parent left on the ground. When they were all flying as a group of nine Canadian Geese, they left to LIVE FREE! A little message that what we did, works!

So, was it violent to love the ducks, bless, butcher, give them a new dream, and eat their sweet and healthy meat? We participated in Evolution and fed our bodies in a sacred, natural, ancient way of eating meat. We were completely self-responsible. We saw the miracle of on-going life. It never ends. These animal spirits came back into life.

It is all the same, eating plants or eating animals. We have to do this very consciously just like the Native Americans taught us to do. All are sacred life forms. None greater or lesser than another. Please be clear about this. Vegetarianism is like a fad, misconstrued, misunderstood. It is not cleaner, more spiritual, or more holy than eating meat. Vegetarians and Vegans have become fanatical in their thinking, and now, teach children to be afraid of life! Little children taught to be vegetarians are timid and afraid to explore and investigate life. They think it is wrong or bad before they even know anything about a huge supply of beautiful food. What will these children do in a disaster if they are starving? They have been taught that so much available food is bad.

It is our consciousness that makes it clean and sacred or not. If we are unconsciously consuming vegetables or meat that has been yanked from its home, skinned and cooked, we are violent, too.

And a word about mono-cropping Big Agra vegetables..... huge big agricultural corporations are growing your vegetables without combining with animals present, using petro-chemical fertilizers instead. The soil is becoming so depleted of real nutrients that it is really a desert, completely dependent on irrigation to hold the soil. One crop planted as far as the eyes can see, no diversity, no animal parts returning to the soil the necessary minerals and nutrients, has destroyed the farmlands of this country. If the electricity goes off, we will see a US Sahara desert instead of rich soil to grow food. Without animals, say bye-bye to vegetables!

And so, those pretty vegetables in the supermarkets do not have the minerals to maintain life. We have to have balance, healthy behavior towards our food, not fanatisicm. A fanatical attitude like vegetarianism or veganism has its own violence toward life.
