PDA

View Full Version : Further evidence that meat causes serious brain damage

So, my Dad has:

1. Two very beautifull and healthy veggie from birth grand daughters.

2. Two lovely but significantly less healthy omni grand daughters.

3. One built like a brick out-house veggie from birth grandson.

4. One beautifull bright and healthy veggie from birth great grand daughter.

5. One vegan son who, after a full ten years as a vegan, was fit enough to pass a karate black belt grading at the age of 47.


His comment yesterday at our Fathers Day dinner: "Even the World Health Organisation says that meat is essential for people to get proper nutrition in their diets".

My "WTF is wrong with you that you cannot see what is right in front of your own eyes???" style tongue lashing nearly took his head off ...


Serious question though: This type 'ignore any evidence that contradicts the lie' thing is typical of meat eaters.

Can that be anything other than some form of meat induced brain damage?

Damn, THAT is some real cognitive dissonance there!

Congrats on all the healthy veggie from birth family members too!

It frightens me Tarek ..

Thanks :)

Including a vegetarian maternal grandmother our family has veg-heads in four generations now. In time it will definitely be five.

Be easier for the kids every generation, I figure. No meat eatin' grandparents, great grandparents to poke sticks in the spokes. Just kiddies being raised as their own parents were raised and their grandparents were raised before that - straight down the line.

Feel quite happy just thinking 'bout that :)

Aye ..

Something I learned from raising veg-kids btw.

Those of us who converted know the 'blindness' and can kinda relate to people who suffer from it?

From birth veggies have never experienced it. They have no personal experience of ever being 'blind' nor of what it takes to 'see the light' and change.

Good in one way. Slight problem in another way.

Those who have never 'converted' have absolutely no little to no idea how to 'convert' at all.

I honestly never would have imagined that a family could be so veg, and it gives me hope, cause the more kids on the diet from the start, the more of an influence it can have on omni kids (it isn't as "weird" anymore).

Also, i would definitely think it would be a challenge to make sure that veggie kids are very understanding with how hard it is to change oneself when faced with bitter truths.

So out of curiosity, how many veggie kids have you raised and have they ever "experimented" or tried eating meat or cheese (provided they are on their own)?

I truly wish I had been veggie from birth.
I suffer a great deal of guilt and shame from all of the meat I had eaten in my childhood.

I am very new to veganism, having been vegan for only six months at the end of this month. My only regret is that I didn't go vegan much sooner. I did for love but since making the change, I've learned that one of the lives I've saved is MY OWN, and I've come to strongly believe that we are primates who are eating the wrong diet...hence our chronic diseases in one of the most well fed cultures in history. I don't think it's just the processed foods or the pesticides, I sincerely think it's the meat and dairy that is killing us.
