If you are vegetarian, keep in mind that while in the past it was possible for some people to do well on plant based diets, the stresses of current day, inescapable daily emotional stress and environmental stress are too great to generally support that diet for most people.
Humans are by nature, designed to be meat eating animals. Your skin and hair and organs will thank you for eating more balanced, real food including all the dairy, eggs, and meat.
As well as with Keto, vegetarians have a misguided desire to substitute garbage for traditional healthy foods such as instead of real food eating meatless burgers, meatless dogs, tofurkey—and the substitutes again are so full of chemicals trying to make the thing taste and feel and be meat or milk or, well, you get the picture.
And soy consumption by vegetarians or anyone really, is the worst offender of all. It is not quality protein, though mistakenly eaten in substitution for that.
Soy is instead a highly toxic poison in any form including edamame, sprouts and all other soy products.
Even in animals, soy that is fed to the animals literally destroys their endocrine system with its estrogenic properties, making them fat and faster to market.
Whenever you can get any food WITHOUT soy or being raised with soy or going to market in the last month of life and “finishing” with soy, do so.
The toxic soy qualities affect not just the food animal or bird while alive while they eat the soy products, but the soy affects their meat, their eggs, the milk, everything that we in turn would eat from the animals or birds.
Soy, soy oil, soy derivatives, additives, soy milk, soy touching anything that is edible is really that bad. Now if you need a good pesticide or a fine arts painting medium, go for it.
Peat has suggested ALL legumes (soy are legumes) are toxic, generate excess estrogen in us when eaten. They have to be unbelievably denatured (soaked, sprouted, cooked to excess) just to partially digest them. These too were probably famine foods. These are beans like garbanzo, kidney, lentils, even green beans, mung beans, and any and all of their sprouts and kind of dish, including hummus made with them. These are NOT protein!
Peat believes humans need about 100 grams or more of quality protein per day, mostly from raw milk, raw milk cheeses and gelatin and a small amount (no more than 4 oz. daily) from non-PUFA meat, like beef or lamb. This is difficult if not impossible to do on a vegetarian diet.
I also believe eating as a vegetarian is part of our recent social brainwashing. We’ve been taught to poison and maim ourselves “in support of the planet”, “in support of our family and neighbor”. We’ve been taught by these slick photos that what is shown is food, and that it’s flavorful food and healthful food.
And it’s NOT food. It’s poison, every single vegetable on that plate and including the probable yogurt topping is all poison.
But just looking at this photo I attached, a photo so colorful and beautifully arranged, looking so fresh– even I could chow down on it any minute we’ve been so trained!
So we need to realize, and recognize, our true reasons for wanting to hurt ourselves with believing fake food is real, nutritious and good for you food, not just because someone or something else trained us that way.
And if vegetarianism is practiced because of believing one does not want to eat an animal consciousness, well, plants also have vast and high consciousness too.
There are many of us that talk to our plants, listen to what the most ancient of trees have to say during the walk, and when eating plant or animal we ask it to be healthy for us and thank it for giving its life that ours can be more.
