Quitting Meat: A Process Of Change

Commented Nov 15, 2009 at 15:48:05 in Living

“I know going vegetarian is easy if you have the right tools. When my wife and I decided - as a one week New Year’s resolution 40 years to try meatless eating we never thought it would last this long. But we had the right “tools” - actually Nikki's ability as a cook. Through her, we discovered the world’s great meatless cuisine. Her recipes ended up in "American Wholefoods Cuisine" (using easily available ingredients in thoroughly tested, reliable, tasty ways). They have been making cooks happy for 26 years.”

Nguruwe replied on Nov 15, 2009 at 18:37:13

“Yep, it is easy if you have the right tools. Anything within human capability is easy if you have the right tools, in fact. Therefore, anytime we want to make a change in our lives, we have to ask ourselves: what tools do I need to make this change? And then we need to make those tools part of our life. Tools are important... they empower us. A million years or so ago, we started using tools. Are we really going to sit here now, a million years later, and complain that something is too hard because we haven't the tools and therefore we should give up? This applies to everything in life. Empower yourself, tool-maker!”

“The manifesto of vegetarian cooking is "American Wholefoods Cuisine."

I wonder how long it will take to undo the damage this man is doing - meatless meals can be lessons - culture, language, nutrition, agriculture, science, etc.

BTW Mr Beck - we are all vegetarains soemtime. When you eat pasta, eggplant parmesan, chinese food , mexican food, etc. you are eating vegetarian dishes.”

“What better example of what’s wrong with capitalism? Why should any company have a billion dollars to spend this way - especially when people are starving, homeless, without medical ins. etc. People are entitled to a system that provides a measure of economic justice – capitalism what some people are calling “communist capitalism” – I would call oligarchy – is creating more inequality. The funny thing is that it would, according to one study by Princeton’s Peter Singer would require very little sacrifice by rich people. See http://people.brandeis.edu/~teuber/singermag.html”

Sitting in an office, up and down with elevator, car, drive through for everything, and in the evening TV with coke and chips, you don't need more than 1000 calories.”

“Borlag may have saved many lives, but unfortunately he alos set the stage for the use of petroleum based farming techniques - fertilizer, water pumps, motorized equipment, etc everywhere - and the current environment/energy crisis.

Sad fallout has been a growth of suicides in India from farmer’s inability to cope with drought and debt. Much caused I think geared to the takeover of green revolution techniques. See:
