plants (Rich)

[Guest guest]

Rich,

 

To inject some humor...I was not promoting

non-violence to plants....LOLs. I was simply making a

point. Animals are not perfect creatures.

 

I believe that we are suppose to eat to live...not

live to satisfy our gluttony. I believe that the

healthiest diet is at least 75% raw. For some, the

best is 100% raw. In fact, there is, on record, an

account of a man in a primative culture that was

supposedly 300 years old and outlived several wives.

Supposedly he only at fruit from his own orchard. If

this is true, could it be duplicated by someone who

has lived in a polluted culture? Can this be proven?

I don't know.

 

Even if it could, I would not want to live to be even

120. With my spouse, children, and friends dead, I am

not sure I would find life valuable. In fact, in one

of his books, Bernard Jensen stated that he personally

met men in primative cultures who were 150 and wanted

to die. In that culture, as Jensen tells it, the men

have to will themselves to die because they don't have

degerative disease. I have to see some humor in this!

What is worse...a degenerative disease or willing

oneself to die and not succeeding! LOLs and a big

smile.

 

I remember reading an article which stated that George

Bernard Shaw said he wished he had never become a

vegetarian. Why? He was tired of living and couldn't

die! I remember being shocked by this piece of

information when I read it. Did he really say this?

I don't know, but it made me think!

 

Anyway, I am glad plants can't run from us or I would

be perpetually hungry! LOLs
