Vegetarian Diet | You are what you eat



What food has to do with Astrology ? Well... once one is interested in astrology and spiritual growth. Becoming aware of eating-habits is very important and to cut the story short ;] "You are what you eat". Food effects your mind and body. Influenced by factors ranging from health and economics to ethics and religion, millions of people around the world are turning to a vegetarian diet. Now you read this It's probably time to really think this over...



Vegetarian Diet | Physiological Comparisons



When comparing the benefits of a vegetarian diet to a meat-based diet, two areas should be considered:
- the anatomic structure of the human body, and the physical effects of meat consumption.



Meat-eater | Has Claws | No skin pores, perspires trough tongue | Intestinal tract 3 times body length so rapidly
decaying meat can pass out quickly | Strong hydrochloric acid in stomach to digest meat.
Herbivore | No Claws | Perspires trough skin pores | No sharp front teeth, has flat rear molars | Intestinal tract 10 - 12
times body length | Stomach acid 20 times weaker than meat-eater's.
Human | No Claws | Perspires trough skin pores | No sharp front teeth, has flat rear molars | Intestinal tract 12
times body length | Stomach acid 20 times weaker than meat-eater's.



Vegetarian Diet | The inability of human body



To deal with excessive animal fats in the diet is another indication of the unnaturalness of meat-eating. Animal fats effect
Heart Disease and Cancer. Dangerous Chemicals in Meat, Diseases in Meat (diseases from the animals themselves e.g.
Mad Cow Disease), Chemicals used as preservatives and Pesticide Contamination (via Cattle Feed) is very unhealthy !



Vegetarian Diet | The Protein Fable



People have different arguments to continue meat-eating, like: "I need the protein" Well this is the right answer...



Relative Per-Acre Yields of Usable Protein from Various Food Sources
Soybeans 356 | Rice 260 | Corn 211 | Wheat 138 | Meat all types 45 | Beef 20
100 grams Soybeans deliver 8 times more Protein then 100 grams Meat.
(p.s. there are worldchampions bodybuilders who are vegetarian, really !
and if its about the muscles think of a monkey, a rhinoceros, a giraffe, a horse, all vegetarians to me !)


Vegetarian Diet | The "I don't know what to eat without meat"- Fable



Apple, Apricot, Aubergine, till z...If you miss the crunch (or bite) eat Nuts (70 grs) instead of Meat. Spend the money
you normally spend on meat on all kind of Nuts. Use these nuts not as an apetizer but within the meal. Its Salty, Healthy,
Tastefull and gives a Nutty taste which is a very good combination (and full of Plant Fat and Vitamines) and ads up
to the flavour of barley, corn, couscous, millet, quinoa, rice, soybeans, spelt, wheat and vegetables till z.... Fry onion
and use garlic and some ketjap, soysauce, hotchili-sauce or whatever you like to spice up the food.
