Todays post sees me sitting in front of the open fire(quite bizarre for december, but anyway) reading A diet for a new america, very thought provoking, and I think just as relevant to us here in Oz, where our food choices and the state of our health are just as bad as John Robbins discusses that America is.
I believe we all have to take responsibility for our own health and that of the planet's, by adopting at least a vegan if not raw diet we have the ability to put a stop to all this sensless distruction to this planet earth; our only home.
As John puts it in this book "The suffering that animals undergo has become so extreme that to partake of food from these creatures is to partake unknowingly of the abject misery that has been there lives. Millions are merrily eating away, unaware of the pain and disease they are taking into their bodies with every bite. We are ingesting nightmares for breakfast, lunch and dinner" This book should be a compulsory text at schools, our children are the next generation and we must educate them in a better way than we have been previously
