THE BLOG - CONSCIOUS, COMPASSIONATE LIVING The blog will consist of a series of subjects concerning Conscious, Compassionate Living. THE FOOD WE EAT Most of us eat too much and eat the wrong things to support a healthy mind and body. Food is the problem. Food is the solution. Food is our medicine. We have forgotten this and food has become an obsession. Greed and selfishness, together with a lack of interest/awareness about how the food we eat affects our own health and the very survival of our planet, is rapidly leading to a state of planetary destruction from which there will be no return unless we face the truth that WE ARE RESPONSIBLE for this impending disaster. We quite happily call ourselves a “Consumer Society” but have you stopped to think how appalling that is? To “Consume” means to destroy - and our present society is certainly the most destructive since history began. 11 billion tons of food are produced each year and there are 7 billion people on this planet. What does that tell you? That there is enough to satisfy everyone’s need, but not everyone’s greed. Simply by changing your diet you begin to change this precious world. By going vegetarian or vegan you massively reduce your share of environmental pollution and destruction and the exploitation of the world’s poorest people. You no longer contribute to the abuse and shocking suffering of billions of animals. And even if you want to remain selfish and none of the above bothers you, then just consider the bonus: you will vastly improve your health and life expectancy! October 2013
