Licking the Razor's Edge (2015)

Meat -- A Way OUT
“Then GOD said, ‘I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole
earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And
to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that
move on the ground –everything that has the breath of life in it — I give every
green plant for food.’” ~ Genesis 1:29-30
“Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances of survival for life on
earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.” ~ Albert Einstein
WHAT WILL HAPPEN ONCE YOU STOP EATING MEAT
Effect #01 – You will SLIM DOWN …
“The only weight-loss plan that has been scientifically proven to take weight off
and keep it off for more than a year is a vegetarian diet … Meat-eaters have three
times the obesity rate of vegetarians and nine times the obesity rate of vegans.” ~
Dr. Deborah Wilson
Effect #02 – You will LIVE A HEALTHIER LIFE …
According to the American Dietetic Association, vegans and vegetarians are less likely to
develop heart disease, cancer, diabetes or high blood pressure than meat-eaters.
Effect #03 – You will be CARING FOR THE EARTH …
Meat production unnecessarily destroys millions of acres of fertile land – land that could
be used to produce food for millions of starving humans, or as a home for the billions of
wild animals made homeless by feedlot construction. Meat production also causes
enormous amounts of toxic materials to be jettisoned into the environment, and is one of
the leading causes of global warming.
Effect #04 – You will CONSUME LESS FEAR …
When an animal lives its whole life in confinement, rarely sees sunlight, gets jacked up
with hormones and antibiotics, is separated from its mother at birth, watches its relatives
and friends die before its own eyes, and lives a life steeped in shock and fear, then it is
very likely to be an animal that is emotionally traumatized. It is important for all meateaters
to be aware that such chronic depression changes the chemical composition of the
animal’s blood and alters its DNA for the far worse. Even if it is treated relatively well
before its execution, the fear it experiences at that crucial moment of murder soaks into
its flesh and is then passed right on to you. Always remember, you truly are what you eat
… literally.
