Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Greetings, I have copied a couple of quotes: " Price never found a totally vegetarian culture. Modern anthropological data support this: all cultures and peoples show a preference for animal foods and animal fat. Price also noted that all cultures consumed fermented foods each day, and noted one other quality: they were happy! " - This person obviously never studied Indian Culture which has a 5,000 year lacto-vegetarian culture. In fact, the traditional diet of yogis is the avoidance of meat, fish, eggs and anything that contains them. " I heard that dog meat is actually the best type of meat for our stomach to digest. Has anyone else heard about this? " - Dr. Chang discusses the energetics of dog meat in his book " THE GREAT TAO. " In my own ignorant opinion and observation, if a person approaches diet from a strictly physical point of view, they will not stick to a strict vegetarian life style. If we do not understand the ethical reason for the avoidance of killing animals (eggs grow up to be chickens), there is not much reason to sustain a vegetarian life diet. Regards, Patrick Patrick D.

Even the yogis did/do. Dog meat, BTW is eaten for religious purposes in some West African cultures on special occasions as it is considered to be energetically and spiritually of a higher vibrational frequency. th " Patrick D.
