Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Hi friend, I got a laugh out of your comment that when we get sick the meaties blame our vegetarianism. How true! Recently, I read that many monastic people (monks, etc.) will only eat meat if they are sick. My reaction when I read that was, " Well, eating meat is going to make you SICKER, not healthier in the long run " (smile). If abstaining from meat would make me die in one week - which it won't of course - I would STILL be a vegetarian because I would rather pass on to the next world than eat one of my beloved animal friends.

How true! I was thinking about turning that comment around on them, but I was gone all day and have not had timeto yet. I spent all of today out at the Fort Worth Nature Center, if any of you ever get to this neck of the woods I urge you to go check out this wonderful gem. Well-adjusted people simply don't insist that the world go around re-making itself to suit their little repressions and hang-ups. ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone.
