Research often contradicts conventional wisdom. For meals, it began in 1894. The meal deal: 1-Eat boiled grains 2-Eat cooked land & sea vegetables, 3-Eat well-cooked beans, 4-Eat real pickles, 5-Skip dessert
Too bad if you missed Warren Kramer in Watertown last night, it was very revealing. Summary by tomorrow at http://www.davidsorganic.wordpress.com.

I believe research will show that vegans don’t go postal. Those who kill their spouse or fight in wars or cut themselves or exhibit road rage, or even write horror stories, generally are meat eaters. Why is this so? One reason may be that the life force in cows, pigs, chickens etc. is so negative from their horrifying existence, that energy permeates the eater’s body. Another reason is the extreme yang (contracting) energy of animal flesh tightens the liver (among other organs), with anger as the result. Is eating meat really worth the price we pay?
What most doctors and most people don’t understand, is that the human body is a healing machine. It heals when it’s in balance, and not in emergency mode. So, by avoiding extreme contracting (yang) and expanding (yin) foods, and promoting good circulation and recharging through proper movement and rest, we heal. The worse the condition, the longer healing time is necessary. But most everything can be healed in a matter of a few weeks or months. Want more information? Google “Macrobiotics”
Top 5 reasons to go vegan: 1-All disease is caused by the overconsumption of animal foods, with their suffering and pesticides/hormones/antibiotics, etc.; 2-So many animals suffer terribly their whole lives so we can eat and waste food; 3-We are depleting the land, air and oceans, as well as the atmosphere on our planet; 4-We cannot fathom the suffering we create, so we become closed to all our intuition; 5-Eating animals causes bad moods, violence and war
We all have a bad habit that holds us back–one of mine is eating after dinner. It starts innocently. A single bite of dessert, and then I’m back to the kitchen five times over the next two hours. In good tiimes, it’s once or twice in a month. In late Autumn, it’s once or twice per WEEK. Destroys my sleep, digestion, and mood. If you have similar struggles, perhaps you also recognize that this unnecessary eating is a reaction to stress. Things we cannot control, such as a child’s homework, or the economy, or the weather, are hard to deal with, but should not be. For me, the rescue is my 8pm body rub and shower. Shuts off the stress like a switch, and helps me get ready for sleep. Try it if you like. Second person to comment after trying this gets a free book…david@kaganmedia.net
Americans love their cheese. As consumption has grown over the years, obesity and a host of other health problems have grown with it. Can we blame the dairy council? Sure, why not? We like to blame everyone for our problems. Blame the Chinese for lead in our toys, even though we wanted them impossibly cheap. Blame the Obama administration, even though his predecessor watched as trillions were looted from our country. Blame Toyota, even though they are probably the highest quality car, and the car company with the most honor. We don’t like to take responsibility.
But the truth is, it’s not just cheese that’s killing our babies (SIDS), taking the limbs off our teenagers (Sepsis), ruining our complexion, and destroying our cardio-vascular system. It’s the complete lack of common sense, to see what’s happening and connect the dots. High fructose corn syrup is just as important a destroyer to our culture, although corn does not suffer as much as cows do. Overconsumption of beer and wine is also ruining our health, taking lives on the highway, and leading to record divorce and crime statistics in these stressful times. We cannot blame another for these problems, and we cannot blame the government, for its lack of standards, weak leaders, and flip-flopping laws. It’s all on us.
Here’s the cure. Bury it so we don’t have to look at it, and do the work. But in 50 years, uncover it and know that there were a few people who saw what was going on.
Recipe for Better Health, Cleaner Environment, Happier People, and Peace
1. Add mandatory classes in healthy cooking and healthy relationships in middle school and high school
2. Understand that nature is better. There is a dear price for inactivity, high cell phone usage, violence on TV, and chemicalized food, water, clothing and cleaners
3. Know we are all connected. Treat yourself better, and treat others better, through meditation, yoga, Buddhist teachings, and eating less animal foods
4. Welcome change, in the seasons, in your life, and in the differences between people
5. Appreciate what you have, instead of focusing on what you don’t have. Be skeptical of those trying to sell you something based on fear. Happiness is a choice.
