Guest guest Posted January 31, 2001 Report Share Posted January 31, 2001 The goat would never have been born or cared for, but for its human owners, who use some easily replaceable milk to make life-giving food for their fellow humans, such as my grateful self, raw-foodists who appreciate the subtle energy of living foods, which we experience as taste pleasure, but in a way unknown to cooked-FUDE ingesters, who gulp it down so fast, with so many condiments, flavorings, and beverages to cover up all the poison. They punish themselves for the sin of killing all those cattle and chickens, by cooking all their food, a most deadly predilection.<br><br>I would not eat goat unless absolutely necessary. I do eat yellowtail sashimi because humans have been eating fish for 7 million years, ever since we became the aquatic apes back then. If I could, I would have enough tuna in a big salt-water tank that I could anaesthesize one with nitrous oxide, cut out a small (1/4 pound) fillet, fill the cut with superglue and novacaine, and throw it back in, tagged so I don't do it for another 2 months. Doing this three times a week would only need a couple of dozen fish. No killing required. <br><br>I admit that such a large marine aquarium is ridiculously expensive, but I'm making the point of answering any quasi-moral objections to my only departures from vegetarianism. Speaking strictly in nutritional terms, fish and goat cheese fit right into the raw-food lifestyle, giving me the same feeling of subtle-energy intake as do fruit and sprouts (whereas raw eggs did not, so I never got into them). <br><br>Land animals of any kind (bugs, reptiles, or mammals) I reserve for situations of last resort, and I would kill them with nitrous too, so there's no death-stress in their flesh. I would not keep animals just to kill them for eating, as long as normal food was available. Fish, however, have no trouble healing up from meal-sized painless nicks.

Isn't superglue rather toxic? I dunno know, but the whole thing sounds a little Frankensteinish to me. I certainly wouldn't want smeone to hack a piece outta me and pour in superglue then do it again every two months. No thanks! It just sounds so cruel and unhealthy for the fish.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2001 Report Share Posted February 1, 2001 Hi Teri, I couldn't agree more.<br>I find it incredible that anyone should even contemplate doinng that with fish or any other creature. I suppose using that kind of argument one could keep lizzards and eat their tails, because a new one will grow! Ugh but the thought of eating anything close ones own flesh...ooooh!<br>Why go to this bother when it is so unnecessary. There is so much natural food out there that is vegan why make animals suffer. Our bodies are not designed to eat raw flesh. I am going to post a 'humerous' 'story' about meat that so<br>me one sent me. Hope you like it. It is different!<br>Chris.
