The Comparitive Anatomy of Eating

2009-12-09T20:16:00.003+08:00

http://www.earthsave.ca/articles/health/comparative.html

The Comparitive Anatomy of eating by Milton R. Mills, M.D clearly shows that the human body was made to consume only plant-based foods. Here, the gastrointestinal tract of humans is compared to that of carnivores, omnivores and herbivores, & if you see the summary below, all the features of the human matches that of a herbivore. :) clearly showing that meat is not meant for us (humans).

"You don't have to die to save the world, just be vegan." ~ Supreme Master Ching Hai

Is it really worth it all? No, no, no.

2009-12-07T14:47:00.003+08:00

Is that harmful, so poisonous piece of meat worth the suffering of millions of people? Is it worth the death of people dying from hunger or disasters? No, of course not. Especially when it harms you, and there are so many alternatives around.

Please wake up, now. Don't harm yourself anymore. Meat is not worth the waste of money and resources, it is hundred and ten percent not worth it. But a vegan diet is worth it. It benefits you immensely, just try. Just three times a day, 7 times a week. Free of diseases and scary flu.

No longer a personal choice.

2009-12-06T23:07:00.002+08:00

Yes, now being vegan is no longer an individual choice. Our planet is really in trouble, and time is running out. We have to act now and fast, if we don't change the planet might go down the drain. And that'll really be a waste, when we are now so 'advanced'.

Changing is very simple, so many veg alternatives are out there, and are so delicious. They are even better tasting than the real rotting corpse even! Please be veg today, no other choice. Being vegan is the only way to save the world.

Out in the news -- Be Veg, Go Green, to Save the Planet

2009-12-04T19:28:00.002+08:00

Ever wondered why "Be Veg" always came first, before "Go Green", because being veg is the most important!

If you look at 1st December's newspaper (Tuesday), The Straits Times, page A23 (2nd last page), there's a whole article on "Eat less meat for the green cause" :) Featuring Dr. Pachauri who has been advocating a vegan diet. People are beginning to know that meat is truly poison!

Hopefully more news will be out that show how harmful meat is!

Avoid meat and protect your health

2009-12-03T21:50:00.002+08:00

It was found that AIDS came from eating the monkeys :X

So be very careful because the H1N1 vaccine (some) has monkey's kidney added. Nothing can be more safe and clean than the vegan diet. No fear, no worries, no harms. :)

Clearly expressed -- going Vegan is the only way to halt climate change

2009-12-01T13:25:00.002+08:00

There has been a website set up, en.cop15.dk/thoughts, where the public can express and post their thoughts, and others can support it. Recently however, the top two posts about veganism has someone been gone, but just for info, the top post, with the title be Vegan > save the WOLRD, has had 400000 +++ supporters!

Even after the disappearance of the two published thoughts on veganism, there are still many coming in, that are definately more than 15. If you look under the "top 10" thoughts, now, the top 7 are all about veganism! :) hooray!!

it's good to know that people around the world are aware of the benefits of veganism, hopefully one day, there number of supporters supporting that vote would be 6 million people. there is hope :)

Let us all progress towards a vegan world of peace and joy.

Nature's foods

2009-11-23T18:20:00.002+08:00

Interesting facts about some veggies and their nutrition:

Carrots: when you cut them into halves or slices, it appears to be the shape of an eye; and is good for the eye :)

Walnut: the outer of the walnut has lots of 'wrinkles' and resembles the brain, and has certain nutrients good for the brain

Celery: the white, strong and brittle stem looks a lot like the human bone, it has 21% calcium, like the human bone (also 21% calcium), and is good for the development of our bones

Kidney beans: looks like a kidney and has the word kidney in it's name, good for kidneys

Avocado: when half of the outer shell is taken off, with the huge seed left, it looks like a pregnant woman. avocadoes help to develop the fetus and many more. this plant takes 9 months to bear fruit, like the fetus

Tomato: cut it into halves and you get a heart shape, with 4 chambers :) has been found to have nutrients good for the heart too.

Nature is giving us hints about the food and their benefits from the whole range of veggies :) & these are just a few,

Do not take the risk!

2009-11-18T17:33:00.003+08:00

It was recently found out that meat in supermarkets had violated the safety rules. Packaged meat were routinely repackaged and stamped with new inaccurate freshness date, some meats with labels like 'brown lamb' actually also have other meats added like pork. Also, it was found that the fat level in the meat was way more than written on the label.

Also, there has been more and more cases of getting ill after being injected with the swine flu vaccine. There has also been deaths from taking the vaccine, when it's supposed to 'help' us. Reason being, what the vaccine is, is just a weakened form of the virus. So the people making the vaccine just break those very strong genes, 'trample' on it a little and inject it into the body. And because there's supposed to be two jabs (without adjuvants, like for the bird flu), but because there isn't time to test, and no time to make enough vaccines, the swine flu vaccine has added adjuvants to make it necessary to take only 1 jab. But these adjuvants are poisonous substances, like mercury, and some are even more poisonous than mercury, and all these are just to 'wake the body up'. Because the number of jabs are minimized, the adjuvants have to be added, but this is actually harming the body, that's why there is a high risk when taking the vaccine. (note that the vaccine includes egg, kidney from monkeys etc, and a lot of non-veg stuff)

But we can avoid taking the vaccine, simply by adopting a vegan diet. Because if swine flu originates from the extremely filthy conditions from the meat producting farms, then to avoid it, we don't eat that filthy rotting corpse (yes, because the manure from the animal is not cleaned, and it remains on the meat during processing). So the solution is so simple: just be vegan, and all will be taken care of ;)

Creating a vegan society...

2009-11-06T17:14:00.000+08:00

the IPCC scientist, Kirk Smith, said that if our society had zero carbon emissions, the planet will still warm, becaue methane traps heat 72 times more than CO2.

however, methane remains in the air for a shorter time as compared to carbon dioxzide, so he suggested that if we would like to make a difference in the climate change, we should start with methane (got to look after both short term and long term emissions, but since methane traps heat way much more than CO2, we have to work on methan first)

& methane's number one source? --> livestock. so stop livestock today :) and the planet will cool faster

You can't really be considered a true environmentalist if you eat meat, and contribute to global warming. and it's in a way true.

Many scientists are already advocating a meat-free diet, the chair of the IPCC, Dr. R K Pachauri, Dr. James Hansen and so many more.

The human body: made for a vegan diet

2009-11-04T17:13:00.002+08:00

the following articles write that our human body was meant to consume a plant-based diet only. Some points include that our teeth (though some look sharp and pointy, but it's mentioned in the article that it's still not like canine teeth) were meant to chew vegetables, and our intestines are long. Long intestines are made long specially to absorb the many nutrients of the veggies, therefore it's long. Herbivores all have long intestines (like us humans), whereas carnivorous animals have very short intestines. Therefore, we can see that our human body is made to live on a diet free of animal products. more details can be found from the links.

look at this site with all the info about our human body, very detialed:
http://www.nealhendrickson.com/mcdougall/030700pumeatinthehumandiet.htm

other sites:
http://www.rawfoodexplained.com/why-we-should-not-eat-meat/the-best-fuel-for-the-human-body.html

http://herbsupplement.cn/do-not-eat-meat-a-long-time-age-immunodeficiency/

and these were just googled. if you want to find the real truth, why don't just google it first? 'cause many scientists are saying the same thing; meat only harms.

there was this scientists who remarked that he didn't know why humans had to add meat to their diet because it doesn't bring any benefit at all

What's more than emissions from transportations

2009-11-03T16:51:00.000+08:00

A recent report by the World Watch Institute states that 51% of the greenhouse gases in the air is from animal agriculture. This percentage has risen from the first super low estimate of 18% (note that 15% of greenhouse gases are frm transportation). and it isn't stopping here. It's increasing to 60++.

& also, if you watched the Larry King Live, the representatives from the meat industry dare not show the report of the cleanliness checks on the farm and the animals. said that it was the company's private info. But if we would like to check, it should be shown, unless it's unacceptable then it won't be shown. So you know how bad the conditions are. don't take the risk.

This is the link to the article on Lord Stern: look at this: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article6891362.ece

Google "Stern climate change meat" and a lot of articles on this. he's a UK scientist

beware of the hamburger!

2009-11-01T20:45:00.000+08:00

a piece of meat may look 'clean' and 'innocent' but it actually isn't. Truth is that it is infested with lots and lots of unimaginable bacteria that bring diseases.

first, there is e coli. this bacteria is found only in animals, especially at the intestine area and beef and other meat products, this e coli has no cure and there was a woman who had recently consumed a hamburger, got into a coma and woke up paralysed. that's shocking. and the origin is clearly from animals. if any e coli bacteria happens to be found on any veg, it's because of the animal manure used to fertilise it. and ecoli is so tiny that 1000 of it can be found at the tip of the needle. and only 5 - 10 of this bacteria is needed to enter your body and to kill a child. that's one risk that can be avoided with a vegan diet :)

then there is MRSA or Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. similar to ebola, it's a flesh eating bacteria. & yes, it doesn't only create a blueblack but it actually eats your skin up. it's incurable. and there's about half of 1% of the meat eaters who have this disease, but don't belittle this number. SupremeMasterTV has interviewed one of the victims, and it's really scary. imagine your skin being eaten up. luckily this is only found animals, so eating vegan would prevent this diseases.

and AIDS is (I guess) also from meat. just goggle it up and lots of info can be found. all point to meat. so if we would like to live safe, please refrain from this harmful substance that only harms your body. the diseases mentioned have no cure and it's really scary, you shouldn't risk it k. so just switch. a simple piece of meat can be replaced with a piece of vegetarian meat, that uses less water, energy and many more, and has less diseases! it's a win-win situation. :D

Stop animal cruelty

2009-10-30T20:39:00.000+08:00

With millions of animals killed each year, that makes an average person kill 10 animals, 10 whole animals for meat consumption, each year. That's a whole lot. So if we have lived for about 13 years, we have murdered 130 animals. And we owe 130 animals their life, so who's going to pay back for the debt?

chickens. they're placed on a conveyor belt, which puts throws them into this bin where they are killed in seconds. mere seconds. because now we have 'progressed' in technology, unlike in the past where the few chickens or ducks reared were so precious that they were only killed for meat during big festivals, animals are killed daily, every second. even as you're probably reading this. only the lucky female ones would be fortunate enough to be spared for the sole purpose of laying eggs. no eggs? then they'll be injected with all sorts of chemicals and harmful substances to make them fat. and there you have you chicken wing. imagine if you were the chicken. thrown onto a belt to be brought to death. awaiting a huge unstoppable machine that would grind you into pieces, while you cry out for your dear life. that's how we put the chickens for the harmful piece of meat. please stop this practice. if you were that chicken, wouldn't you like your life to be spared? normally the police would chase after the one who commits crime, but now in the meat area no police is there. but the law of karma is still there, if the police and you don't care, the law of karma still cares! but the good news is that just change and all will be forgiven. that simple.

Please halt this terrifying, horrible killing. and as we sit in the rain with thunder and lightning, reminding us to change our way of life, and when the wind blows strongly making us shiver, let us remember those people who are starving out there, who are probably lost and alone in the wind, hungry, cold and lost. Because global warming has caused floods and ruined their homes. and this all originates from that piece of meat. just replace it and everything will be fixed. Please spare the lives of the innocent animals. & look at page 62 and 87 of the time magazine for october 5, 2009. The green tip at the top of the page all suggest meatless days :) scientists are aware that a vegan diet can benefit our health immensely as well as the health of our planet. so for the sake of you your ownself, just be veg. k :)'

A vegan on a bummer has less emissions than a meat eater on a bicycle: Meat costs and vegan savings

2009-10-28T15:42:00.000+08:00

This is really interesting: http://suprememastertelevision.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=sos_main

Over a 1 year period, emissions from.. (per person)

-> for a meat eater: same as driving a mid-sized car 4758 km

-> a vegetarian: same as driving a mid-sized car 2427 km (about 50% less)

--> a vegan: same as driving a mid-sized car 627 km (87% less emissions than a meat eater, about 1/7!)

--> organic vegan diet: same as driving a mid-sized car 281 km (94% less emissions than a meat-based diet! )

A vegetarian riding a hummer has less emissions than a meat eater riding a bike. "

"a visit to a slaughter house would be one a vegetarian forever".

& just for info:

vegan ≠ vegetarian

A vegan diet is a strict vegetarian diet. a vegan does not eat eggs, milk, or use any animal products including honey, leather, silk (silkworms are boiled alive to get the silk, but there's one indian company that lets them free off before taking the silk) etc.

Because at first the vegetarian diet was purely veg. but then after a while, ppl started to eat this and that. some claimed to be veg but ate fish, some claimed to be veg but ate only poultry. so to differentiate, one guy called Donald Watson, took the first few letters and last few letters of the word vegetarian to form the new word "vegan". it's called 全素 'quán sù' in chinese, like full-time vegetarian. so less emissions from a vegan diet. on top of that there is organic vegan and raw vegan and many others. so just being veg is quite simple already :)

Just search "'climate change meat" on google, and you'll get a whole list of scientific reports that point to the meat industry as the number one cause of climate change. more are coming out! ppl are starting to realise that they must stop eating meat in order to live :) and this is true.

Live guilt free. be assured that no animal has to die for you, be a human :) live a life of conscience and love

~ About 100 000 animals are murdered, slaughtered each day. 26 animals slaughtered every second (!) in the UK for food, and because of that, 5 child dies every second cause of hunger. Isn't it about time we stop this gruesome practice?

being veg is easy =) just leave that piece of meat alone, and replace it with vegetables/veggie meat. Choose to either be veg and live, or continue eating meat and lose this planet (if the planet is gone, you will be gone, and so will the meat; so even if you want to eat meat, there won't be any meat for you to eat! so why not just be veg now, and preserve the planet and in turn lead much better lives! meat is unnecessary. meat is harmful to our health, the environment which will affect our lives) why won't you just let go of that tiny piece of meat for the whole planet, and all life that exists, and whether it will continue to exist or not depends on your decision, the choice you make starting from the plate. :)

If the lion is tolie near the lamb peacefully, shouldn't we do it first? just found out that 90% of the ocean's largest fishes have been gone due to overfishing, and most of there fish are fed to the pigs. Not any ordinary pigs, but the pigs that are bred for livestock. So, in other words: grain + corn + fish + 1/3 of the world's land --> pigs (+ thousands of galloons of water, - 90% of energy) --> (goes to us) humans (+ diseases, pandamics like swine flue + taxes to subsidies the meat from S$70++ or US$30 + taxes to go to hospitals to cure patients)it looks a lot like a waste of resources. since we only have 30% of the earth's surface as land, shouldn't we treasure this precious amount of land, and stop using up a third of it for animal raising?. we could use the land to grow organic veggies (said that when we grow organic vegetables, the soil would absorb 40% of the carbon dioxide in the air and store it as carbon in the soil) to feed those hungry and it would be very beneficial to us. no more ppl would have to go hungry every night, and no more child would have to die every 5 seconds due to hunger. switching to a plant-based diet would help improve our health and live longer :) the eskimos living in the arctic who feed on meat with very little veggies normally live only up to 27 years of age. that's about 1/4 of our normal lifespan of a hunder years (100 years supposed to be quite a short time too) well i know it seems hard at first to switch, since it is already a habit to most of us. but if a horse can do it, and a cow can do it, and many celebrities (including americans, yes) can do it, why can't we?just start by cutting down meat, like normally one huge chunk, to a little portion. then maybe try eating at the veggie stall once a week in sch (it's convinient) for lunch. and increase slowly. this can save lots of lives =) the Earth is currently overloaded, our oceans are overloaded, we have got to clean up fast. if your parents show disproval just tell them straight that you don't want to eat meat, we know not that meat uses lots of water, excessive amounts of water, and wastes the resources of the Earth, as well as kill lives. many lives, from the forest we clear, to the animals and other animals to feed the animals, and later probably kill humans from the pandamics (worse to come, so switch soon!) and from diseases. make the change today! there's a whole range of veggie meat available, like ham, sausages, fish, prawn, chicken. luncheon meat even. and they're very delicious (to me even more than meat, because when you put the prawn in your mouth, there is this foul smell. and you feel very heavy after eating it, you feel very down, and get irritated very easily, you have a bad temper etc. but when eating veggie meat, you feel lighter, happier, like in no debt, it feels great) after switching, you won't even feel the loss of meat, or miss meat, in fact you'll guarantee be happier and relieved to have made the change. truly it's like that. please try, there's so many reasons to go veg, economic reasons, environmental reasons, compassion reasons, health reasons, so many. and there might be some misconceptions about malnutrition, but there's surely an alternative for the vitamin or mineral you assume is found in meat only. if unsure, can just search the name of the vitamin on google and select the one on vegetarian society. website is http://www.vegetarian-society.org/ (shows you the alternatives and locations of veggie stalls in Singapore. there's lots of them) so please try today. at least one a week, or twice a week. surely just leaving a piece of meat out for a day will be ok? in fact it would benefit us immensely. really. many ppl have avoided serious illness from colon cancer by eliminating meat from their diet. just try once today. explain to your parents. global warming is not going to happen, it is happening. the question is just how we can stop it. we do not need to wait for green technology, we can just change our diets. scientists have shown that a vegan diet would help in reducing 60% ++ of the emissions. methane from animal agriculture traps heat 72 times more than CO2. but good news is that it does not stay in the air long. so if we change quickily, the situation can be helped. :) A vegetarian diet is a plant-based diet/animal-free diet.Benefits of a vegetarian diet:(Adapted from SupremeMasterTV.com — please visit for more details)Lower blood pressure Lower cholesterol levels Reduce Type 2 diabetes Prevent stroke conditions Reverse atherosclerosis Reduce heart disease risk by 50% Reduce heart surgery risk by 80% Prevent many forms of cancer Stronger immune system Increase life expectancy up to 15 years Higher IQ Conserves up to 70% clean water Saves over 70% of the Amazonian rainforest from clearance for animal grazing A solution for world hunger: Free up 3,433 million hectares of land annually Free up 760 million tons of grain every year (half the world’s grain supply) Consumes 2/3 less fossil fuels than those used for meat production. Reduces pollution from untreated animal waste Maintains cleaner air Saves 4.5 tons of emissions per US household per year Stop 80% of global warming PLUS MORE…

If your parents show disproval just tell them straight that you don't want to eat meat, we know not that meat uses lots of water, excessive amounts of water, and wastes the resources of the Earth, as well as kill lives. many lives, from the forest we clear, to the animals and other animals to feed the animals, and later probably kill humans from the pandamics (worse to come, so switch soon!) and from diseases. make the change today! there's a whole range of veggie meat available, like ham, sausages, fish, prawn, chicken. luncheon meat even. and they're very delicious (to me even more than meat, because when you put the prawn in your mouth, there is this foul smell. and you feel very heavy after eating it, you feel very down, and get irritated very easily, you have a bad temper etc. but when eating veggie meat, you feel lighter, happier, like in no debt, it feels great) after switching, you won't even feel the loss of meat, or miss meat, in fact you'll guarantee be happier and relieved to have made the change. truly it's like that. please try, there's so many reasons to go veg, economic reasons, environmental reasons, compassion reasons, health reasons, so many. and there might be some misconceptions about malnutrition, but there's surely an alternative for the vitamin or mineral you assume is found in meat only. if unsure, can just search the name of the vitamin on google and select the one on vegetarian society. website is http://www.vegetarian-society.org/ (shows you the alternatives and locations of veggie stalls in Singapore. there's lots of them) so please try today. at least one a week, or twice a week.

surely just leaving a piece of meat out for a day will be ok? in fact it would benefit us immensely. really. many ppl have avoided serious illness from colon cancer by eliminating meat from their diet. Just try once today. Explain to your parents. global warming is not going to happen, it is happening. the question is just how we can stop it. wW do not need to wait for green technology, we can just change our diets. scientists have shown that a vegan diet would help in reducing 60% ++ of the emissions. methane from animal agriculture traps heat 72 times more than CO2. but good news is that it does not stay in the air long. so if we change quickily, the situation can be helped. :)

Quick tip #4 Ecofont

2009-10-13T18:13:00.002+08:00

Today, we shall take a look at fonts! A wide range of fonts are available, including common ones like arail, or times new roman. Now, have you heard of the ecofont?

You got it from its name! Ecofont is a font that is environment friendly, especially when printing. What's unique about this font is that there are holes in the alphabets, so that (20%) less ink will be required for printing. What an ingenious idea!

You can view or download this cool and considerate font at ecofont.eu , or simply download it from http://www.ecofont.eu/downloads_en.html. Let us have more wondrous ideas to brighten the future of our planet!

This is Spranq Ecofont (called Spranq Ecosans on microsoft word). It's a special font that has holes in the letters so that you save 20% of the ink when you print them out :). And it's good for printing our eportfolio and save lots of trees There are two files available for download, the ttf (true type font) one is the one you're suppose to install into your com if you want it, the zip is something like a preview.

Here's the steps for downloading it:

1. Open Fonts by clicking the Start button , click Control Panel, then select Appearance and Personalization, and the clink Fonts.

2. Click File, and then click Install New Fonts.
If you don't see the File menu, press ALT.

3. In the Add Fonts dialog box, under Drives, click the drive where the font that you want to install is located.

4. Under Folders, double-click the folder containing the fonts that you want to add.

5. Under List of fonts, click the font that you want to add, and then click Install.

Can visit http://www.ecofont.eu/downloads_en.html for more info about downloading it. The official website of ecofont is http://www.ecofont.eu.

And so now you can save ink when printing your stuff :) especially all those multiple page assignments, and it looks nicest when you use font size 12 (you won't be able to notice the holes from far, unless you put it very close)

和平的＂和＂

2009-09-28T20:59:00.001+08:00

You all know that chinese words have some kind of history and reason as to why they were written like that: 和 (peace ; 和平的＂和＂), is made of a 禾 and a 口. 禾 (hé) means grain, so the word 和 means that when you put the 禾 (grain or plant based food) into your 口 (mouth) (in order words eat plant-based), you will get 和 (peace!) =)

peace with the family, peace with the animals, peace with the planet, and eventually your life :)

Aljunied MRT station has quite a few (3) vegetarian stalls. With a new one coming up soon.

There's Tian En, Ci Hang, and Yes! Natural F & B restaurant.

Tian En is part of a coffe shop, but at a different corner. They have different dishes choices available to choose, as well as lotus root soup.

Ci Hang is a shop on its own, in an air-condition outlet, along the same row of shops as Tian En. This row of shops are just a left turn from the Aljunied MRT station (after turning left out of the station).

Yes! Natural F&B restaurant is behind the row of the shop, just opposite (but the other side). It's an organic vegetarian shop, with organic brown rice. But some dishes might have cheese.

Quick tip #2 -- Our ant friends

2009-07-06T13:16:00.000+08:00

A little tip to save the earth.

Have you ever had ants coming into the house? Our ant friends might be very small that sometimes we overlook them! So to avoid accidentally crushing their poor bodies in often used area, trying using ground cinnamon or the herb called catnip; sprinkle it on their path and where the ants are coming into the house. What also works well is a mixture of two-thirds of a cup water and one-third of a cup of vinegar. The mixture can be sprayed on the ant path. This way, you can keep them away without hurting them.

Thank you for your extended care to our precious ant-buddies! Have a nice day collaborating with them.

Quick tip #1 -- Tamper proof rings/ tamper evident rings

2009-07-03T16:40:00.000+08:00

We shall introduce a series of quick tips that help promote betterment of our planet. A 'label section' will soon be set up to that you can browe for the quick tips easier. Now moving on..

Tamper proof rings/ tamper evident rings is the plastic ring left around the neck of the bottle (after you open the cap). It is used as a 'safety seal' for the bottle cap, and are only left apart when you have opened the bottle.

Useful it may seem, but it also threatens the life of our marine friends. These tamper proof rings, after being thrown into the dustbin, may land up at the beach, and endanger the marine animals there. For instance, a baby turtle might crawl into it, unable to get out, and when it grows bigger, its body will grow distorted. So, you can do your part.

Try cutting the rings with a pair ot scissors, such that even if a turtle crawls into it, it does not require much energy and effort to escape out of it. Thank you for your attention! Let us all work together to increase sustainability in our beautiful planet.

watch before your eyes the suffering animals are placed through for that piece of meat on your plate.

"Animal genocide, or the endless cycle of violence and pain inflicted by humans upon millions, even billions, of cruelly treated livestock. Spend just one minute inside a slaughterhouse during a killing spree, and try not to flinch as you hear pigs crying in fear and pain. Try and look at a dying cow's eyes, and it's impossible not to see terror in their final gasps for breath. Pity the chickens: after being crammed mercilessly into wire mesh transports, their beaks are cut off just before their throats are slit. Utter heartlessness.
"On today's factory farms, animals are crammed by the thousands into filthy windowless sheds, wire cages, gestation crates, and other confinement systems. These animals will never get to feel the warmth of the sun on their backs or breathe fresh air until the day they are loaded onto trucks bound for slaughter," Bruce Friedrich writes in his "Top Ten Reasons to go Vegetarian."
http://www.all-creatures.org/articles/env-eating.html

"Animals on factory farms are over-crowded. They spend their brief lives in crowded and ammonia-filled conditions, many of them so cramped that they can't even turn around or spread a wing.
Animals on factory farms are tortured. Within days of birth, for example, chickens have their beaks seared off with a hot blade. Animals are hung upside down and their throats are sliced open, often while they're fully conscious.
Animals on factory farms are treated like machines. They are pumped up with drugs, fed their own waste and forced to grow or produce as fast as possible. They are subjected to 24-hour artificial lighting while being crammed into tiny cages one on top of the other to make it easier to harvest.
We don’t need to eat animals! Most of us in the U.S. don’t eat animals because we must in order to survive. We eat them because we want to. We are subjecting animals to torture, damaging the environment unnecessarily and subjecting ourselves to greater risk of disease just to satisfy a desire, not a need.
You can get a totally balanced diet without eating meat. All vegetables contain protein and too much protein consumption is unhealthy. Grains, legumes and soybeans contain plenty of protein. Vegetarian foods do not have to be boring. Spice it up! For example, veggies and rice with some Teriyaki sauce is delicious and as filling as any meat dish you can think of while being far more healthy for you and easier on animals and the environment. Why not give a vegetarian diet a try and give our environment a break. Your body will thank you and so will the Earth!"
http://www.all-creatures.org/articles/env-15.html

We all know that our intestine is very long, and it has been proven this is not suitable for eating meat. this was demonstrated in an essay in comparative anatomy by Dr. G.S. Huntigen of Columbia Universeity.

"He pointed out that carnivores have short small and large intestines. Theirs large intestine is characteristically very straight and smooth. In contrast, vegetarian animals have both a long small intestine and a long large intestin. Because of the low fiber content and high protein density of meat, the intestines do not require a long time to absorb nutrients; thus, the intestines of carnivores are shorter in length than those of vegetarian animals."
From The Key of Immediate Enlightenment sample booklet

Meat also creates toxins, cause colon cancer, increase the burden on the liver, contains a lot of urokinase protein and urea which can destroy the kidney function due to the extra burden. And fourteen grams of this urokinase protein is found in every pound of steak. Meat lacks cellulose and fibre etc. Meat is high in cholesterol and saturated fats in flesh that creaste cardiovascular disease (no. 1 leading death in the US). & cancer is the second leading cause of death.

Meat is also unclean and safe. There are far too many cattle, pigs, poulty, etc killed for meat everyday to clearly check if the meat has cancer in it, let alone every single animal. Now, when the head has a problem, they just chop off the head and sell the other parts of the bod.

Also, lots of antibiotics are fed to animals to prevent them from getting diseases in those highly stressful conditions. So those eating these animals will absord these drugs that includes steriods and growth hormones.

The World Health Organisation recommends that 4.5% of daily calories can be derived from protein. Wheat has 17% of its calories as protein, brocollli has 45% and rice 8%. So a veg diet can still have lots of protein even when leaving out meat. Also plants don't have cholestrol (animal fat) that gets stuck to our veins etc and cause heart problems because plants don't have any blubber or animal fat. So vegetables are very healthy :)

If you see our sci ws on nutritional value, cholestrol is the only one on the list that is better to have as little as possible (see the Ecology and environment
Raising animals for meat causes rain forest destruction, global heat rising, water pollution, water scarcity, desertification, misuse of energy resources and world hunger (being veg can feed 2 billion ppl, but there are still hungry ppl in the world 'cause the grain is being fed to livestock, and then we eat the meat. so why don't we just eat the plants, and so the energy doesn't have to be wasted as it goes down the food chain. and on the way down the food chain, the protein, etc gets lost, and harmful stuff are added too)

25% of Central American's rainforests have been burned and cleared to create pasture for beef cattle. Every four ounce hamburger made from rain forest beef destroys 55 square feed of tropical rain forest. Animal agriculture contributes significantly to the production of the 3 gases which cause global warming.

1 pound of beef=2464 gallons of water, while a pound of tomatoes only take 29 gallons, and one pound of loaf of whole wheat bread takes only 139 gallons.

Half of the water consumed in the US goes to the growing of feed for cattle and other livestock.

Growing oats produce 8 times the protein and 25 times the calories if they are fed to humans not cattle. Broccoli produces 10 times the protein, calories and niacin as an acre of land producing beef. Raising animals for meat is wasteful.

World hunger
1/3 of the world's grain is fed to livestock. While over 40 million ppl die each year from hunger or mulnutrition.

Animal suffering
100,000 cows are slaughtered every day in the US. 100 000. They try to cram as much animals in as small place as possible. (this leads to diseases spread easily, like the current swine flu)

Animals help us in so many ways. They save ppl, they risk their lives. Many times when we approach we hear a dog bark. We might be scared, or we just ignore it. But we don't know that the dog is barking at the risk of their life. They want to protect their owner, therefore when they see you suspicious they bark to warn you. When you can simple shoot them down. But they still bark out of love. And animals, they risk their lives to save others, animals of different species and humans even. Here are some links to what past animals did. Some animals even raised dif species of animals. They go blind just to help someone else, but we humans don't always do that. So we have lots to learn from them. They simply fly in the sky, they only swim in the ocean, but we just pull them out, fish them out, shoot them down, and eat them. When they didn't disturb us.

Being veg brings lots of benefits. Eating meat blocks your mind out; makes you feel heavy everyday. Do not worry about lack of nutrition from a veg diet, it's healthy. Many ppl have been cured from colon cancer, just by switching to a plant-based diet. It is truly amazing and beneficial. There are lots of meat alternatives available, dif kinds of yummy vegs to try. Don't say it's hard, can just try. Now it's no longer for compassionate reasons to go veg, it's a matter of life and death. Today, livestock agriculture is heating our planet. If we don't stop our meat eating habits, we're bringing this planet to an end.

Glaciers are melting faster than ever. People are dying every time. While we are poking into the piece of meat, someone out there is dying due to lack of food. We don't have to wait for some super technology to curb global warming. It would be too slow and too late. We can just be veg, everyone be veg and we can save the planet already (see flyer at the back of class). We are running late now, truly.

So you can try being veg for one meal a day, or once a week. (for more info please visit www.SupremeMasterTV.com). Then slowly increase because you can save lives. The animal you eaten, the chicken you eat has a family, and what we might be eating today for dinner could be just a daughter. A precious daughter. Or we love our parents so much, but yet we still eat the parent of a child.

Be organic vegan today! If no organic products are available, then be vegan first today. To save lives and your souls! Thank you very much.

P.S. Can watch The Secrets of Venus today on Between Master and Disciples at Supreme Master Television (www.SupremeMasterTV.com) @ 9 pm, 3 am and 9 am tmr, (missed 3 pm today), 24/7. more parts to come soon. Or can watch Words of Wisdom at 6, 12, 6, 12 too. :)

Eating is very 'simple'; you just grab a plate of rice, toss in some vegetables, and throw in a couple of other 'ingredients'.

What we are not aware, is that those 'ingredients' are your flesh, your bone, your meat, your muscle, your blood... And what you are eating, is yourself.

Those animals don't 'belong' to us, and so we therefore cannot kill them as and when we please, even if they 'irritate' us.

In actualy fact, they don't really 'irritate' us. They have simply came into this world and brought us so much joy, peace and happiness. On the other hand, we cause most of them to fear us. Why? Because we separate them from their parents, coop them up in a small cage with nothing but an occasional small piece of cold, hard bread to eat (if it's even edible), and they die unwillingly with tears in their eyes at their last gasp for breath. And then that's where we eat the poison of their flesh. (with nearly 70% of the antibiotics in the US being fed to livestock, it's not a doubt that by eating the rotting corpse of these animals would bring about funny diseases like bird flu etc... and we can't really wash the antibiotics off because it's in the meat, but for veggies, if they use some fertiliser, we can soak them in salt water and they'll be fine (: )

And once we consume it, our breath stinks of blood, bone, flesh, muscle and meat. (remember the foul smell you can sense when you put a dead prawn near your mouth? it feels so heavy, as if pulling you down.) And the animals can sense it, and some are even vegetarian themselves! When someone who eats meat goes near them, they know and are thus terrified. They run away, because they know that the person has consumed the flesh and blood of their cousin, and that they might be the next victim.

Please, please! Just hear them for once, can you not hear them screaming?

Just because we humans happen to be a 'biggy', doesn't mean we have any right to burn them alive. If we happen to irritate another giant, do they have the right to just tear you away from your friends and family, and cook you up, and some even cook you alive even.

Will you like it?

Can we, for once, look at their love. Animals are not food, they are friends. We don't eat our friends. They are so full of love, nothing but pure love. And they beautify the planet with their presence. (can you imagine what our world would be like without the animals? if the world perishes, then even if we want to eat meat, there won't be any meat left. so why not just give up the meat, leave it alone, and gain the whole planet, and let life flourish as it should be )

It is the humans who know not a lot, not the animals.

"If you have pets, try to 'listen'; they will lead you into their world guarded secretly since the beginning of creation! I wish we could all understand others like birds and treat them as we would ourselves... They are so sensitive in their emotional relationships, and in the atmosphere they are surrounded with. Their companion and friends mean a lot to them, someitmes as life itsel, their loyalty is so incredible! All who have birds should consider their feeling and have respect for their dignity and love." ~ Supreme Master Ching Hai

We can look at the dogs. They soon develop loyalty towards you, the owner, and when you are in trouble, they are the first one to bark. At the risk of their life even! They are the first to pounce at the 'baddy' with their safety at risk. How noble is that? When we humans, see the situation dangerous, we hesitate to help, but the animals don't. Out of their pure love, even if the situation is very risky, they still go to help, be it for a cat friend, dog friend, animal friend or human friend. (heard of dog rescuing humans? many stories are like that, where they warn their human friends of a disease coming, like diabetes, or when they rescue them from a fire). But then we humans just eat them up in return, and our result is cancer, diseases...

Malnutrition is the last thing (or the thing not even on the list) you should worry about. Malnutrition for meat eating, it should be.

"After a while, if you really love an animal you will make contactl and then through the contact, you can contact other animals as well." ~ Supreme Master Ching Hai

You should watch the ant sometime, with your heart. You can see them as living beings!

So please, Be Veg, Go Green, Save the Planet.

Thank you so much

Greeting, precious people!

On these magical days of Christmas and coming New Year, I would like to thank you for all the good things you've done in your pasts Association members and non-members alike. Wishing mighty blessing from Heaven to shower upon you and cherished ones.

Especially, I thank my loyal and faithul friends whose love and courage have sustained goodness on Earth and charmed the mercy from Heaven.

And I thank you for all the support and shared ideal that maybe we just can mek this Earth a better place or even a heavenly place.

Personally, I know some of you but not all or you. However I know you are the best friends that anyone cold ever ask for - wish I have the chance to thank you and embrace you all in person.

If the planet survives, it's because of your love, because of your heroic dedication.

Pray that your shining example will lead everyone to hope, confidence and emulation, so that together we can rebui;d not only our planet but goodness in human's heart.

I have no worthy present to give such noble friends this Christmas but i you ask me what gift pleases me, I would say, "I WANT THE PLANET"

May you continue to be a beacon of lofty spleandor, befitting the children of God.

WITH TEARS OF GRATITUDE -
CH. ♥♥

Words of a Piglet 小猪遗言

The day I met you first
Was the day of my birth
Pink and round, me oh so plump
With Mom I gaily frolicked.

Lovingly you looked at me
Praising, "Oh, so round, what a cutie!"
Every day you came by to visit
Bringing cool water and delicious veggie treats.

Mommy and I were so touched
Your kindness worth more than gold
I lived a peaceful life
Under your care and protection
Growing more plump with each passing day
Just eat, rest and play…

So lovely was this early morn
As clouds were drifting across the sky
Cuddling together, Mommy and I
Unaware of the befalling tragedy!

Two brawny young men
Strong like tigers and elephants
Squashed my tiny body
Flat into a cage of horror!
There was no way to escape!
O God, what purgatory was this?

I wailed in fear and terror
Mom, oh Mom, please save me!
Oh caretaker,
please come protect me quickly!
Rescue my life, I'm still at a tender age!

Mom was crying out in sorrow
Tears of desperation filling her eyes
The immense Heavens cannot contain
This horrendous emotional pain!

My caretaker turned away
Hands busy counting a stack of money
Haplessly I rolled around in the car trunk
Breaking heart more painful
than bodily misery!

The two young men bantered:
"This piglet will be so tasty!
Tomorrow we'll slaughter him
To celebrate the birth
of the wife's newborn baby!"
Oh, how ironic this life
My soul is shattered
Tears flow in my heart
Like blood running in rivulets.
I thought you loved me
Nurturing me to maturity
But all this was a sham
For you, it's just profit and gain!

Tomorrow my body will be cut to pieces
My flesh and bones
turned to sheer torture
Just so people can laugh in merriment
At their happy feast and gathering.
To your children and others' too
I wish them all long lives
So the family can stay together
Not endure the same fate as mine…
I pray the whole family lives nobly
To be human in many lifetimes
And never be reborn as pigs
Paying forever karmic debts!

Alas, good-bye life…
I ache for my gentle suffering mother
In tears I am overcome…
Oh, Mommy! Mom…Mom…

---Poetry Wrtten By Supreme Master Ching Hai

和您首次见面的那天
是我的生日
胖乎乎的我，粉红又圆润，
和妈妈一起快乐玩耍

您用关爱的眼神凝视我
还赞叹道，“圆嘟嘟，真可爱！”
每天您过来造访
带来凉水甘露和素食美味大餐

妈妈和我深深感动
您的好意贵过金子
平静惬意的日子
全凭您的关爱和荫护
每一天身体都更加敦实
吃饭，休息和玩耍……

那个美丽的清晨
彩云在天空飘逸
我和妈妈拥抱在一起
浑然未觉厄运已降临

两个结实的年轻人
如老虎和大象般的健壮
我弱小身子被抓住
塞进可怕笼子
我无法逃脱
上帝阿，这是怎样的炼狱？

惊恐中我嚎啕大哭
妈! 啊，妈，救救我吧！
噢，监护人
您快来我吧！
请拯救我的生命，我尚在幼稚年华

痛哭的妈妈极度悲伤
绝望的泪水浸透双眼
就算无边天空也无法盛下
那是揪心刺骨的精神伤痛呀!

监护人却将脸转过去
双手在不停地数钞票
无助的我在小车后备箱中滚来滚去
心碎之痛远胜过任何身体之苦

两个年轻人还在逗乐
“小猪味道一定美极了
明日就把它宰杀
来庆祝老婆刚刚生小孩”

噢，生活太可笑
我的灵魂已被摧残了
我的心在流泪
犹如血液在溪水中流淌

我本以为您深爱着我
会抚育我长大
不过, 这一切都是伪装
对您而言, 仅关心利益!

明天，我的身躯会被劈成碎片
每一块肉体和骨头
都躲避痛苦而扭曲
而大家嬉戏寻欢
在他们快乐的宴会和聚会上

对于您和其他人的小孩
我祝福他们长寿
愿天下所有的家庭能团聚
不必经历和我同样的噩运

我祈祷, 全家都能过体面生活
生生世世做人
不要投胎当猪
因为业障缘故

啊, 再见了, 我的生活
我为痛苦的妈妈心酸
泪水中我已经超越
噢, 妈米,妈妈,妈妈！
