“HUMANE” MEAT, dairy, eggs and fish FOOD myth debunked

“HUMANE” MEAT, dairy, eggs and fish FOOD myth debunked

The HUMANE animal products MYTH debunked

My life experience has given me a better understanding of what is happening, and what a mistake it is to believe there is anything called "humane" slaughter. Animals have families and feelings, and to think that kindness before killing them is an answer is totally wrong. Humans have no need for animal products. And when we consume animal products, we're not just killing the animals. In the long run, we're killing the planet, and ourselves.

DEBUNKING our FOOD MYTHS

“The mass killing or “slaughter” of animals for food always involves mass suffering. If the phrase “humane slaughter” is supposed to indicate a killing process without suffering, it is a false label. Consequently, if “humane” slaughter means mass killing of animals without causing them to experience suffering, there is no such thing [animal].” ~Steve F. Sapontzis, Ph.D. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Sapontzis

“Humane” Meat Does Not Exist

It’s impossible to live a life of perfection, at least on Earth. However, by reflecting God’s love onto all beings we are actively participating in bringing healing and restoration. Choosing to love is following God’s will.

Ingrid Newkirk, President and co-founder of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), clearly explains why the term “humane meat” is untrue and deceiving. The term “humane” refers to less abused animals, who might have had a little bit more space to live, maybe some contact with nature such as feeling the grass or soil, or that might have had a natural diet. However, all farmed animals killed for food are slaughtered at a very young age. They don’t get to exercise their natural instincts or even raise their young. Newkirk makes a call for compassion and ethical treatment of sentient beings, which should lead people to stop supporting the meat industry. Please visit Let's Face It: There Is No Such Thing as Humane Meat

http://www.petapreview.com/4preview/Ingrid_Newkirk_Humane_Meat_Speech_peta_v1.asp

What about humane murder? Humane rape? Humane abuse? Of course there cannot be such a thing as humane meat when the animal was ultimately slaughtered after being raised for taste and profit. God’s farmed animals don’t willingly give their flesh, skin, fur, eggs or milk to us. All these things are brutally taken from them.

Have a blessed day!

Good point I didn't think about when I was attempting to purchase 'humane' animal products: “Any time consumers of meat, eggs or dairy advocate for ‘humane’ treatment of farm animals, they confront an unavoidable paradox: the movement to treat farm animals better is based on the idea that it is wrong to subject them to unnecessary harm; yet, killing animals we have no need to eat constitutes the ultimate act of unnecessary harm.” - Comprehensive Analysis of the Humane Farming Myth by Ashley Capps

http://www.foodrevolution.org/blog/the-truth-about-grassfed-beef/

http://freefromharm.org/farm-animal-intelligence/where-do-you-draw-the-line-with-humane-food-choices/

While the humanely raised animals for food resolves the LIVING (physical aspect) part, it doesn’t solve the KILLING (spiritual aspect) part.

We’ve all been born into trauma, lies and deceit cultures. In every single area affecting our human lives and spiritual existence while in human form.

As we speak, we have about 7 billion humans on this planet who are traditionally, culturally, emotionally, physically addicted to MEAT, EGGS, DAIRY.

As the world takes the MEATrix/eggs/dairy red pill about the horrors of animal industry farming, a new trend arises about humanely raised, organic, animal farming as well as an increasing demand for “wild meat”.

Many self appointed alternative health experts and spiritual wayshowers are heavily promoting “natural” organic meats, eggs and dairy.

The bio dynamical farms and wild animal farms are on the rise, attempting to replace the outdated industry farming.

Many good souls are now awakening from what truly takes place in our world, hidden in plain sight and, caught up in the middle of our collective and individual trauma based cultures and indoctrinations which still run deep in our consciousness they too adopt this new trend of belief and practice, of “humanely, compassionate animal farming”.

While at first, through comparing this new trend to the old and dying industry farming holocaust type practices, it appears that this could solve the cruelty part of RAISING animals for food, it doesn’t resolve the KILLING part.

WHO is doing it? HOW is being done (if this would matter)? WHERE is being done?

This is a very sensitive issue, especially for those good souls who raise their own animals for food and/or run “compassionate farms”.

Because as we peel off more and more truth, we are forced to take that next step down the rabbit hole, starting to go DEEP within the very core, essence of our SOUL and address this as we should.

Many questions about HOW in the world have we got ourselves in such spiritual mess, to begin with, remain unanswered for most part, although bits and pieces of mostly untold truth are now surfacing, as we ready ourselves to accept, acknowledge and understand.

Going back to the compassionate farming…looking at both scenarios, one begins to question at some point: which is worse?

Raising countless beings in deplorable traumatic conditions and killing them in sadistic, unimaginable cruel way

Raising them in wide open spaces, with tender loving care, developing special bonds, getting the animals to trust us and then betray them by selling and send them to have a horror filled ending in hellhouse (aka slaughterhouse)?

Damage at soul level is being done regardless and much healing will be needed for each soul undergoing such traumas, REGARDLESS of animal or human form.

The “backyard butcher cruelty” have already been exposed, anyone can google it.

And so, the same compassionate souls raising animals for profit in compassionate environments, will have to decide to shut down again and again their hearts and send those beings who have trusted the hand that fed them to hellhouse OR do the killing themselves. Is this our optimal solution?

But the problems only start here. Let’s explore this new “humane, wild meat” farming aspect from a historical and GLOBAL perspective.

Once upon a time, the current domesticated animals that are being raised for food, such as CHICKENS, LAMBS, PIGS, TURKEYS, COWS, HORSES, etc, were created by the Creator Source of ALL that exists, in NATURE. They were BORN and have lived in NATURE, millions of years before humankind descended on Earth.

They’ve been created for spiritual purposes, which is covered in more depth through the link below.

At some point, someone decided to kidnap them, hold them hostages and “domesticate” them.

Today, we are witnessing the effects of this unnatural form of exploitation, playing Dr. Frankenstein to God’s creation, bringing through artificial breeding, countless beings, only to source them.

As the world awakens to these horrors and the DEMAND for “humane and wild” meat grows, so is the SUPPLY.

We now have over 1,500 DEER farms and the BUFFALO and OSTRIDGE farms are also on the rise.

We also have MILLIONS of HUNTERS in the US alone.

We also kill HUNDERDS OF SENTIENT BEINGS, EVERY MINUTE, for food and misc. other uses.

From water, land and air, we’re fishing, hunting, raising and killing, everything and anything that moves and breathes.

The parasitical form of existing is out of control.

The individual, collective, planetary KARMIC debt we are causing, every day, through our apathy, direct, indirect actions or non actions alike, are staggering.

All the pain we are causing, we will need to experience in order to make it right at spiritual level.

Forcing any soul OUTSIDE of his/her physical body against its NATURALLY DESIGNED TERM (life expectancy, as originally created by our Creator), regardless if it’s done fast and “painless”, with prayer, spiritual ritual and “purpose” causes trauma at soul level.

There simply can’t be COMPASSIONATE, HUMANE KILLING.

The ONLY compassionate way to go about raising animals for food in optimum natural conditions WOULD be to let them live free and happy, raise their own families and when NATURAL TIME COMES for their physical death, to be allowed to PASS ON NATURALLY, after which, you may THEN say a heartfelt prayer, asking with respect, the soul of the body if you can consume its body.

Farm animals living in free-er spaces experience more freedom while alive, but it still takes a brutal killing process, forcing the animal's soul abruptly out of his/her body and left with unfinished business at spiritual level…

Let’s hope that more and more become aware of the laws CAUSE and EFFECT (karmic laws) that hold us responsible for our actions...

In late 90's I’ve started to read tens of books on life after death, near death experiences, out of body exp, astral projection, etc…

in one book's chapter it was a true story told by a guy who after a car accident underwent what is known as LIFE REVIEW process or the moments when your most recent life flashes in slow motion be4 your eyes with the most relevant moments pausing for SELF evaluation, with the help of your guides who discreetly stay behind you, assisting with the process...

so, in one of those moments, the guy started to RELIVE those moments when he was killing BUGS...he said: "I've started to FEEL EVERY PAIN...emotional and physical...of EVERY BUG I've EVER KILLED in my life, ONLY MULTIPLIED TENTHFOLD:

”I was terrified at the amount of pain I have caused without even realizing" (end of quote)...he said

He came back into his body a complete changed man...and who can blame him?

We are not suppose to NOT harm another for fear of KARMIC backlash (self retaliation) but only through COMPASSION

However, sometimes, the Universe offers us a glimpse into the ultimate reality through such messages so we can make a deeper based decision through our actions

point here is not to scare those who raise "meat" or support “humane raised meat” but as a pay it forward gesture/ invitation to self reflection and remembering that each of our thoughts, words, actions, non actions, knowing or not do come with a karmic payout backlash as they should...for all that we do or not doing…eventually, karmically all is catching up…

How else we can keep things on track in this infinite everexpanding universe? I’ve created this blog where spiritual, physical/health/emotional, dietary, planetary sources of awakening and healing are, for all who feel the need to change and contribute to the betterment of our world and who feel the call to evolve out of our old, dying traditions, creating new ones...

We now decide to give the cows, pigs, chickens and turkeys and lambs a break and we go this time after a NEW line of animals, kidnapped from wild, held hostage and BREED in restricted spaces (farms) for our “humane, organic wild meats, free-range eggs and RAW MILK”.

If you didn’t start to connect the dots yet, to put it more directly, we now GRADUALLY START ALL OVER AGAIN, a NEW type of INDUSTRY FARMING movement/trend, only with DIFFERENT species.

Once upon a time, it all started precisely like this.

If ALL 7 billion of us meat, dairy eggs addicted humans would grab guns to “hunt” for our food and/or buy our food from organic farms, simply do the math on the enormous DEMAND, the shortage of SUPPLY, on HOW FAST we’d WIPE OUT the “wild”, natural animals kingdoms, and how OVERNIGHT, countless organic farms would AGAIN become INDUSTRY FARMS of DEER, BUFFALO, OSTRIDGE, etc, BESIDES the usual animals raised for food.

By now, I’m sure that you start (sigh) to get a good glimpse in this not so bright future POSSIBILITY we are facing.

This major aspect covers the basics on why such type of “SELF SUSTAINABILITY” is not really SELF and is not SUSTAINABLE by any measure.

Cannot be SELF because we’d continue to feed ourselves OFF OTHER beings and cannot be sustainable because we’d eat our planet into self extinction.

We could assume that an ALL loving, intelligent, omniscient Creator could come up with better ways to help his/her children creation, to self sustain/feed/nourish than KILLING for LIVING.

We could assume that an ALL loving, intelligent, omniscient Creator WHO HAS SPENT INFINITE AMOUNTS OF CREATIVE INTELLIGENT LOVING ENERGY TO CONCEIVE such miraculous LIFE FORMS, with infinite diversity, DESIGN DETAIL, beauty, splendor, years long life expectancies, COULD COME UP WITH BETTER REASONS and PURPOSE for all the creation than being DEVOURED as FOOD.

There are, REAL sustainable means to feed ourselves and thrive in synch with the new spiritual evolutionary direction we’re going into.

And, there will be far more and better sustainable solutions, as we awaken more and more, start educating ourselves, becoming responsible planetary and galactic citizens.

As the world goes vegan in a hugely unprecedented, unexpected, exponential way, for ecological, ethical, physical and spiritual reasons and as animal farmers are waking up and become public educators on the MYTH of HUMANE MEAT, so is our time.

All the freedom, peace and abundance dreams we have for ourselves and the planet, truly start where it all begun: in how we treat other co existing natural kingdoms on our beloved planet.

Karmic laws affect us in more subtle as well as evident ways than we are consciously aware of yet.

We cannot evolve by holding on to OLD, OUTDATED beliefs, perceptions, traditions and practices, if they involve taking another live, no matter the reason.

Open your heart and mind…free your soul and allow many others who have already awaken, to help you through the process.

There is incredibly awakening and healing materials below, collected through the cosmic collective consciousness, experience and insight. Through sources both physical and non physical.

Peace to ALL beings <3

Want to Help People Without Hurting Animals?

Many people are eager to donate to organizations in order to help many humans in need. Unfortunately, many of these organizations, although their mission is honorable, sometimes they hurt animals in order to achieve their goal.

The Heifer Project is an example in which the goal is to feed people but the means include the exploitation of farmed animals. On the other hand, there are also many organization that help humans without exploiting animals, such as Food for Life and Sustainable Harvest International, among many others.

Beyond Meat is beyond awesome for our economy

As for startup news in Columbia, very little comes close to what's headed our way. A small company with big plans — and big-time investors — is opening up shop and bringing with it an unprecedented opportunity for advancement. Beyond Meat manufactures what the Chicago Herald describes as "the most real faux meat ever." Slate magazine called "fake meat so good it will freak you out." The New York Times claimed it was so good it was "fooled badly by its product."

Aside from having a lauded product, it's also backed by Kleiner Perkins and Obvious Corp., some of the savviest and most innovative investors in Silicon Valley. Kleiner Perkins' other investments include Amazon, Google, AOL, Electronic Arts and more recently Path, Zynga and Shazam. Obvious Corp. is largely known for creating Twitter but also invests in select companies with similar social missions.

So what does it mean for Columbia? Besides adding manufacturing and other jobs, it also shines a bright spotlight on Columbia as a viable destination for venture capital-backed companies. To learn more, I talked with Beyond Meat founder and CEO Ethan Brown. MORE HERE…

http://www.ener-g.com/egg-replacer.html

There they are…transitioning from a meat laden diet to a meat alternative option, wider and wider available, until we can break free from our mental, emotional, physical, cultural, religious, societal, familial addictions to MEAT FOODS. Our entire history, religious celebrations, births, baptizings, weddings, retirements, wakes, traditional, national, community, and everything else in between have been deliberately and RITUALISTICALY created AROUND A DEAD SENTIENT BEING BODILY FLESH as CENTERPIECE on our FESTIVE tables.

Behind all our laughters and celebrations, songs and dances, there it was…the silent, tormented, trauma energy infused, anguish filled life and death of a LIVING BREATHING SOUL and BODY.

The time to AWAKEN and HEAL as ONE has come., from our individual, social, cultural, planetary traumas, learn the TRUTH, Unlearn the OLD and embrace our spiritual EVOLution through our FOOD rEVOLution.

Our ultimate and ongoing goal is to adapt and readapt in consuming as many as possible WHOLSOME, RAW VEGAN foods and while we are gradually used to consuming healthier foods, the meat analogues come in quite handy.

Breaking free from our MEAT, DAIRY and EGGS addictions could’ve been much harder without such MEAT ALTERNATIVES.

❤ It is time for us to awaken; feel with our hearts and listen to our Souls. One of the most self-empowering, compassionate, and environmentally sound actions we can take to raise our vibration mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually, is to no longer create and consume the trauma of other sentient beings.
Ⓥ Mother Nature is telling us that we are Vegan Beings (Plant-Based Diet) - epidemic levels of disease and environmental destruction! At this point of our evolution, humans are biologically Herbivore/Frugivore:

http://veganzeitgeist.org/

Between MEAT ANALOGUES, VEGAN, Vegan RAW FOOD GLOBAL MOVEMENTS and the FOOD REPLICATORS which will be introduced in our world VERY SOON, this world will put a LONG DUE end to the ANIMAL and PLANETARY HOLOCAUST. Humans will at last start to heal their minds, souls and bodies.

In honor of today’s Meatout, NPR’s The Salt blog got all excited over the rise in vegan meat analogues. According to the Global New Products Database, “110 new meat substitute products were introduced in 2010 and 2011,” and in 2011, sales of frozen meat substitutes hit $267 million.

http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2012/03/19/148923598/meat-substitute-market-beefs-up

The meat substitute industry also seems to have figured this out. One way companies have innovated is by improving the texture of veggie burgers and other fake meat products to more closely mimic the chewiness of meat. Companies like Garden Protein International rely mainly on soy protein and wheat gluten as well as grain flours to recreate the density of flesh.

"Meatless products used to be either too gummy or too chewy," says Weber. "Now they're a lot closer to the meat they're replacing."

The growing success of meatless products isn't lost on the traditional meat industry. In an article earlier this month on the site MeatPoultry.com, one writer called some of the new "meat analog products ... impressive."

also, for those concerned that processed analogue meats are unhealthy, it is helpful to know that nobody claims that faux meats are the HEALTHIEST food on the planet
they merely represent the INTERIM period of time between the OLD and NEW
the old was extensive and intolerable animal exploitation for human consumption

while meat and faux meat do not fall intgo HEALTHY categories, it is also worthy to know that faux meat may end up under deep analysis that it is FAR healthiER than actual meat
HOWEVER UNhealthy they both may be

the NEW is REAL FOOD:
100% wholesome, nutrient dense and bioavailable, unprocessed, high vibratory, uncooked RAW FOOD, compatible with the overall and everexpanding health and wellbeing of our planet and all of the living beings
