We need more protein?!

First of all, most of us gorge our stomachs with pounds of protein. We have eggs and bacon for breakfast, a cheese burger or rice and fried chicken for lunch, and steak for dinner or some other type of meat. Without a doubt protein is necessary but definitely not in the quantities in which we consume it! This is simply way too much protein/meat for our poor bodies to handle. It causes a tremendous burden on our liver and GI tract. Our digestive system as a whole and our stomachs don't even produce enough hydrochloric acid to digest the amount of protein we overwhelm our bodies with daily. Only about 6-8 to eight ounces of protein are necessary in men and about 4-6 in women a day!

Many of us believe that it is inevitable to sustain a healthy vegan diet. This is a misconception. Yes, the quantity of protein available in meat is sufficient and beyond adequate, however, protein is found in most fruit and vegetables also. As a matter of fact, why would we feel that we need to eat meat to be strong, well, and healthy when some of the strongest animals in the world are herbivores, or in our case vegan -- from the tallest -giraffes to the strongest and heaviest - pandas, gorillas and elephants.

Thank God animals are blessed to live by instinct by eating the things they need that also are good for their bodies. We eat the things we want that happen to be bad for our bodies. After reading a couple of books regarding the dangers of eating meat, I've discovered that it takes about two days to digest. This means it sits in our system rotting and increasing the risk of parasitic infections and a host of other disorders. Most of our meat supply is drugged with antibiotics, growth hormones, fed unnatural feed, mistreated, confined, and live in unnatural situations. This corrupts, destroys, and devitalizes the meat we eat everyday, which in turn, causes degenerative diseases, shortened lifespans and other health problems. I happen to be very picky with the meat I decide to eat and also rarely eat it. If you love yourself and love your body then treat it as if you do. Be particular with your food choices and very cautious when eating meat.

Now if you can't stay away from meat, I strongly suggest you eat much less of it. The types of meat that I strongly suggest you AVOID is pork, sushi, and seafood excluding scaled fish. Pork is the most toxic, diseased and dangerous meat known to man. Anything a pig eats turns into fat on its body in minutes and pigs eat ANYTHING! So I can't imagine what you people are eating when you eat pork. Pig meat also contains millions of parasites and many of them won't die no matter how long you cook it for. Most of the type of fish that sushi is made from has parasites living in its spinal cord that never die.

Most types of seafood such as our favorites (shrimp, lobster etc) are scavengers and no meat is worse to eat than scavengers. I also would suggest eating less chicken. Most of the chicken we eat is caged, ill-slaughtered and fed artificial food. Now I can't suggest meat you shouldn't eat without suggesting meat in which you should. Wild salmon, and free range organic beef are the best. Now I hope we all (including) myself can make better health conscious decisions and abstain from too much meat.
