RE: Becoming Vegan
I am no way advising this - I don't your issues like you - just an interesting titbit they may be of some use, I dunno. More information can never hurt. - Cancers need carbs to live - literally. no carbs, no cancer - carbs appear to be the main ills of most conditions, from what I have learned. One of the big problems is the imbalance -candida for example - in the gut from too many carbs there , in the gut.
Balance in the guy is pretty much the foundation to all your body health.
Just some information, you find useful, in your quest for feeling great !, is all . Good luck !
( I have spent a lot of time researching this side of things, btw)
It's possible cards feed cancer, but there's evidence that meat and dairy causes cancer. So cutting back on carbs may be a necessary counter-measure if you aren't willing to give up meat and dairy. But it would seem better to strike the root of the issue.
Of course research and information can always go back and forth and argued every which way. But if one thing or the other is more likely to cause cancer, my money is on artificially inseminating a cow and forcing her into motherhood and drinking the reproductive juices that come from that (the juices that were designed to make a different species grow to be huge). I'd bet on that over rice or pasta.
You make your bets and take your choices!
I would point out meats (and eggs), were parft o our diet thousand of years before any crops showed their faces, so logically speaking you could argue our bodies are way more finely tuned to that diet.
(totally agree on chemical/hormone use however, but that's not exclusively a meat issue - monsanto crops for example)
We probably didn't eat meat in abundance tho.
There's a difference between picking off a squirrel or trapping a boar once in a while, vs the endless conveyor belt of chickens that we have now. So I don't think there's really a history of using meat as a staple like people do today.
Seems more likely that you'd lean on fruits and nettles and seeds and nuts and things like that -- once you find a source, it's pretty reliable, whereas hunting animals is more a crapshoot.
It's possible for one thing (meats) to be more easily processed and digested by our body than the other (grains). I'd agree that's probably true. But then when you get into the territory of eating it in excess as a staple (for longer than we ever lived back then), it's a different question, and meat being easily processed and handled doesn't mean it isn't worse longterm for disease and health issues.
Ethical considerations aside, I don't think hunting your prey and eating it with lots of greens and fruits etc would be bad for you at all.
But often when people talk about this natural diet, they're actually eating factory meat, and probably eating it far in excess of what our ancestors were able to hunt.
Factory meat, besides the hormones and blahblah that I'm sure you don't like either.. will also have fear and stress. It seems so much worse to me to basically deny the animal a normal life in the environment he wants to live in. (When you kill a wild animal at least he had a fine life up until that point.)
I know it sounds kind of funny and pseudo science.. but I don't think the universe lets us get away with things. So if you cause this fear and stress, and then consume it, I think you're consuming fear and stress in one way or another.
Tldr: Probably agree grains don't digest so well, but I don't think they cause longterm chronic issues in the way meat can.
(Upvoting your post because I like you 😀 but disagree a bit of course)
lol- very good post mate, and I actually agree with 90% of what you said.
I grew up in a farming/ butchering family, I see the factory farming of animals abhorrent -
which is not the same as 'growing' your animals.
We had lambs we bottle fed, (up at 3 am, every 5 hours)who's mothers had died - still ate them - And i loved the little buggers-)
They were not in their natural environment - they would be dead.
Yeah, I don't buy into the pseudo, -but - saying that.
Animals not slaughtered in a slaughter house ( hours cued up in strange environment, stressed - adrenaline pumping), don't taste as nice as ones killed at home- seriously. - zero stress, quick knife job - as 'bad' as it sounds to 21 century sensitivities.
Good post though, matey
cheers
I'll always follow intelligent posters but cant promise to be faithful ....
I thrive under uncertainty sometimes. 😆
And makes sense regarding the taste being different. Theoretically you'd imagine that's the case. Interesting that you noticed it.
Yeah, adrenaline is chemical not normally present, so if adrenaline had as taste- it's kind of logical (and any other stress hormones).
When you are lucky enough to grow up on the best every night - you notice.
A Total shock to the system when I Ieft home at 17, though and had to buy it..... shiiiiiiiiiiit , how much? lol - gimme the economy mince please...
