Kaiser Permanente is a leader. I have never commented on a hospital system before but I constantly find KP behind initiatives I support. Kaiser Permanente, with some $50 billion in annual revenue, owns 37 hospitals and employs 17,000 doctors, all on salary. They have 9 million members!

So imagine my delight when I saw the headline; KP urging all their doctors to recommend a plant-based lifestyle. The tide is coming in and it is George Halvorson, current CEO and his successor, Bernard Tyson, leading the way.

PCRM was established in 1985 by Dr. Neal Barnard as an advocacy organization for preventive medicine, nutrition and ethics in research. PCRM has a paid staff of 35, with a membership of approximately 9,000 physicians, and 120,000 supporting members, including dietitians, psychologists, nurses, veterinarians, other science and health professionals, and lay people who support ethical research, laboratory animal advocacy and nutrition based health and preventive medicine http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Physicians_Committee_for_Responsible_Medicine

In the newly revised Australian Dietary Guidelines released this week, Australia’s top health experts now agree with leading health advisory boards in the U.S. and Canada that well-planned vegan diets are a safe, healthy and viable option for all age groups. Government health experts worldwide are finally catching up with the large body of scientific evidence demonstrating that a vegan diet is not only a viable option for people of any age, but that eating plant foods instead of animal-based foods can confer significant health benefits, including reduction in incidence of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart attack, stroke, and some types of cancer. - Read on at: http://freefromharm.org/health-nutrition/catching-up-with-science-burying-the-humans-need-meat-argument/#sthash.MCayQvXG.dpuf

The flesh of animals seems to be very hard to give up and there’re reasons why. According to Joel Fuhrman M.D. there are toxic metabolites in animal products that are therefore present in the people who eat them, and once the consumption of these animal products is dramatically lessened or eliminated, the presence of these toxic metabolites creates a hangover feeling.

Let's show to Romania that all world is against cruelty!!!!

ashamed and deeply disturbed for my own birth country's decision and actions...


is true that every second, all around the world, countless sentient beings are killed and treated worse than we r able to imagine, for food, fashion and "en...tertainment"...


is also true that many of the dogs lovers and protectors also consume other animals...


the ongoing insanity on our planet will continue, for every living being until each heart and mind is awaken...

I've spent lots of time sharing the beauty and treasures of Romania, with the world..the inventions which benefited the world, the esoteric places, the wonderful warm, caring people however, some very dark forces have gotten a hold of much of this country and they will have to be well removed before I, personally will set foot back in my birth country...


no amount of tourism or attraction will ever be enough for me to return there to visit, until the Romanian soul and soil will be completely cleaned of such darkness...

in prayer, meditation I join countless other Romanian Lighworkers both within the country and abroad, I'm sure, in assisting all souls in the soon to be exterminated stray dogs who have done far more good energy work for this country than bad things, to exit as peacefully as possible from their worn out bodies and to be ushered in the REAL realm of FREE, OVER THE RAINBOW BRIDGE, in wide open meadows, joining countless other magnificent beings and be FREE, AT LAST!!
FREE from the tormented lives they have chose bravely to experience in order to ATTEMPT to AWAKEN some COMPASSION in otherwise dumbed down minds, numbed down hearts and dulled down consciousness which still prevails abundantly everywhere, all around...

I now feel a strange sense of relief simply because the painful way in which most likely most of them will be "put to sleep" will pale millionthfold by comparison to the amount of FREEDOM they will soon be experiencing once again...
Those who seeked their killing didn't deserve them...

the heart/soulLESS beings who are capable of any crime

little do they know that each and every thought, word and action has a causality effect counterpart and their earthly deeds will be tenthfold accounted for in places that REALLY matter...once all is said and done here, in this world...
among the few tens of books on near death experience, life between lives that I've read over time, in one chapter, one guy was describing how during his near death experience he felt TENTHfold EVERY pain, both physical and emotional of EVERY bug he ever killed...

is how things work in an infinite UNIverse, just to keep things in check and balance...

as for Romania's darkest hour, this tragedy will not go in vain but many souls will be awakened and the apathy, indifference and ignorance will give birth to and transmute into hopefully a REbirth for this aching country
the ill-uminati that put a hold on Romania, especialy for her esoteric treasures, using violence, politics, economics to bring this country down to her knees will be removed and replaced with true brilliant, compassionate leaders and planetary wasyshowers

closing and wondering and pondering at WHAT the CREATOR of ALL LIFE in the UNIverse is suppose to do to THOSE WHO HURT OTHERS? Those of us who are still participating directly or indirectly, through consumerism, to both spiritual and planetary holocausts, through our daily food, fashion, entertainment choices, when there are so so many cruelty free optional choices now?

what the CREATOR of ALL, should or would do? EUTHANIZE us out of our pain and self created misery?

those who take matters in their hands, of killing other beings need to ponder and contemplate deep, on such ideas...

Why the VEGANISM urgency and pressure
http://agnvegglobal.blogspot.ca/2013/09/why-veganism-urgency-and-pressure.html

Why the VEGANISM urgency and pressure

 

Why the VEGANISM urgency and pressure?

It took countless and repeated lies and many years to indoctrinate and program and condition humankind to WILLINGLY accept and perform and adopt acts of extreme cruelty against countless sentient beings, acts of self destruction and acts of... planetary destruction.

While it won't take AS long, it will, however, take enough repeated TRUTHS in order to DEprogram the individual and collective mind and reawaken the heart and mind of HUMANE KIND to the urgency of situation in which we have been born and to become aware of the world which we are individually and collectively cocreate...

such messages cannot be posted and shared often enough and they will make the rounds and rounds until each human being will have been awakened:

Why the VEGANISM urgency and pressure?
It is very simple
BECAUSE

ANIMAL FARMING and killing, INCLUDING INDUSTRY, "sustainable", family owned, bio-dynamic, grass fed, free-range, "humanely" raised ANIMAL FARMING, hunting and fishing is literally KILLING our planet, BY THE HOUR...by the MINUTE and here is how...

According to the Nature Conservancy, every second of every day one football field of rainforest is being destroyed. Much of this forestland is being cut down to farm and raise livestock, which is then exported to the U.S. and ends up in fast-food hamburgers. According to the Rainforest Action Network, 55 square feet of tropical rainforest are destroyed to make every fast-food hamburger made from rainforest cattle. This is an area about the size of a small kitchen and it is gone forever each time one of these hamburgers is eaten. It is even worse because with each square foot of rainforest gone, up to 30 different plant species, 100 different insect species and dozens of bird, mammal and reptile species are destroyed. The rainforests are so important
because half of the species on earth live in them and the forests are vital to the world’s oxygen supply.


Did you know that livestock production is very inefficient... 80% of world’s farm lands are now being used to produce meat, dairy products, and eggs

“Livestock are one of the most significant contributors to today’s most serious environmental problems. Urgent action is needed to remedy the situation.” That's from the 2006 UN report "Livestock's Long Shadow", which states that livestock produce more climate changing greenhouse gases than all forms of transportation combined. The human appetite for animal flesh is also a driving force behind air and water pollution, soil erosion, fresh water scarcity, and deforestation, including the clearing of tropical rain forests to grow feed for livestock animals. Our personal food choices wield tremendous power... the power to say "NO" to the industries that are driving the destruction of our planet, and
say "YES" to Life.

and here
http://agnvegglobal.blogspot.ca/2013/06/sustainable-animal-farming-myth-debunked.html


WHY ELSE the VEGANism urgency?
simple...
BECAUSE,
EVERY MINUTE, in the world:
2000 RABBITS, 900 SHEEP, 500 CATTLE, 2,600 PIGS, 3,000 DUCKS, 1,200 TURKEYS, 84,000 CHICKENS, plus many more animals, get SLAUGHTERED and consumed as FOOD...

Sustainable animal farming myth debunked

1999 message (14 years old) 

"We will find we can no longer subsidize or ignore the costs of mass-producing cattle, poultry, pigs, sheep, and fish to feed our growing population. These costs include hugely inefficient use of fresh water and land, heavy pollution from livestock feces, rising rates of heart disease and other degenerative illnesses and spreading destruction of our forests on which much of the planet's life depends." - -Time Magazine - 11/8/99

Each and every movement and organization promoting SUSTAINABLE ANIMAL AGRICULTURE needs to pause their public message for a few days and discover the truth and the urgency of it, behind what they are promoting. Time is of the essence in unraveling these vital facts and adopt real sustainable methods to feed our selves.

Both problems and real solutions are outlined in great detail within the following 2 links

 Is there really such thing as "sustainable" animal agriculture at GLOBAL scale?

Some believe it is
but what's the TRUTH?

Following the growing trend of "sustainable" animal agriculture, the time has come for the sustainable animal farming MYTH to come to light and for all people and organizations promoting such myth, to be called on to taking a deeper look at what exactly it is  that they inadvertently promote, at such a huge cost on our planetary ecosystems

the links  contained within this page will open up everyone's eyes and offer real sustainable solutions, before they continue to spread the myth of sustainable animal farming, at any scale

The myth of sustainable meat
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/13/opinion/the-myth-of-sustainable-meat.html?_r=0

Aren't "humane" animal products more sustainable?

http://www.humanemyth.org/faq/1127.htm

The Myth of Eco-Friendly Animal Products

http://gentleworld.org/the-myth-of-eco-friendly-animal-products/

http://www.tribeofheart.org/peaceablejourney/mediabase/1287.htm

Sustainable

A way of living, which if adopted by the great majority of human beings, would allow for the continuance of a healthy ecosystem capable of supporting diverse forms of plant and animal life, and clean water and air.

Common confusion: Those propagating the "humane myth" often refer to one form of using and killing animals, or one type of animal product, as being "more sustainable" than another, or simply as "sustainable." At current rates of consumption, no form of animal agriculture now known is sustainable. On the contrary, a recent study carried out by UN scientists demonstrated that animal agriculture is the number one source of greenhouse gas impact, making a greater contribution to global warming than all cars, trucks, buses, air planes, trains, and ships combined. Even if there were enough land available to raise the more than 50 billion animals now being used and killed annually worldwide on the idyllic "Old McDonald's farm," the result would still be a continuation of the ecological catastrophe now underway. Further, the production of food for a diet based on grains, nuts, vegetables and fruits uses several times less energy and water and creates vastly less pollution than a diet based on meat, milk, and eggs.

Sustainable animal products an oxymoron

http://www.onegreenplanet.org/lifestyle/sustainable-animal-products-an-oxymoron/

It is impossible to allocate sufficient land to pasture-raise animals and feed the billions of people on the planet meat, dairy, and eggs. At current consumption levels, to feed all 7 billion people animal products, we have to cram farmed animals into tiny spaces and stack them on top of each other. Fifty-five billion land animals are raised and slaughtered each year world wide. They already occupy 80 percent of the Earth’s total usable arable land (See Livestock’s Long Shadow: Environmental Issues and Options). How much more can we spare?

Imagine a modern egg operation with thousands of hens crowded in a windowless warehouse occupying about an acre of land. Now imagine how much land would be needed to let all those hens have the room they need and deserve. How many acres would that take? We simply don’t have the space.

Loss of biodiversity and habitat destruction is already a considerable concern when it comes to animal agriculture.  Globally, livestock production is one of the leading causal factors in the loss of biodiversity and a key factor in loss of species. Within certain regions in the U.S., livestock grazing is the number one cause of species being federally listed as threatened or endangered (See Livestock’s Long Shadow: Environmental Issues and Options). Shifting to a diet with local animal products has the potential to increase the damage to biodiversity as more community’s open spaces would be required for free-ranging animals (See “Green” Eggs and Ham? The Myth of Sustainable Meat and the Danger of the Local by Vasile Stanescu).

Free-range animal farming is not an ecologically viable method of food production. A global shift to a plant-based diet is the only solution to preserving our environment and having enough food to feed everyone.

While locavores imagine all factory farms eventually turning into more sustainable small-scale family farms, that ideal is simply not physically possible given the world’s current rate of meat consumption. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization’s recent report Livestock’s Long Shadow, over fifty-five billion land animals are raised and slaughtered every year worldwide for human consumption. This rate of slaughter already consumes thirty percent of the earth’s entire land surface (approximately 3,433 billion hectares [8483.128 acres]) and accounts for a staggering eighty percent of the total land utilized by humans.^[10] Even when the land currently used for feed crop production is subtracted, as theoretically it might be in a fully local farm system, the total area currently occupied by grazing alone still constitutes, in the words of the report “26 percent of the ice-free terrestrial surface of the planet.”^[11] And this number is only expected to grow as both human population and human consumption of meat and dairy continue to rise.^[12] Therefore, in addition to problems of sustainability, meat consumption also entails a massive loss of biodiversity which, ironically, would actually be increased by a shift to a locally based diet, as even more land would have to be set aside for free-range grazing. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization report, “306 of the 825 terrestrial ecoregions identified by the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF)…reported livestock as one of the current threats.”^[13]

In other words, shifting from beef to vegetables for even a single day a week would in fact be more helpful in reducing greenhouse gases than shifting the entirety of one’s diet to exclusively locally produced sources. This conclusion makes sense when we consider the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change findings that meat production contributes more greenhouse gas emissions than the entire transportation industry, including all automobiles, combined.^[8] In fact, recent research suggests that organic free range animals may, in specific cases, be more harmful to the environment than animal raised “conventionally.” As the Audubon society recently reported…

The Death of the Myth of Humane Farming
“Supporting alternatives to the industrial production of animal products serves the ultimate interest of industrial producers. The decision to eat animal products sourced from small, local, and sustainable farms might seem like a fundamental rejection of big business as usual. It is, however, an implicit but powerful confirmation of the single most critical behavior necessary to the perpetuation of factory farming: eating animals. So long as consumers continue to eat meat, eggs, and dairy — even if they are sourced from small farms practicing the highest welfare and safety standards — they’re providing, however implicitly, an endorsement of the products that big agriculture will always be able to produce more efficiently and cheaply. And thus dominate.” (9)
“Humane” Farming is Not Environmentally Sustainable
In spite of the intensive confinement model that presently dominates Western and, increasingly, global farming of animals for food, livestock now use 30 per cent of the earth’s entire land surface. If we humanely pastured all 100 million cows in the United States on grass, cattle would require (using the conservative estimate of 10 acres per cow) almost half the country’s land–and this excludes the land we would need in order to raise all of the pigs, chickens, sheep and goats free range. (2)
In addition to land, there is the issue of greenhouse gases. First, it is an unavoidable fact of ruminant digestion that methane is released into the atmosphere, trapping heat with alarming efficiency. Secondly, livestock make manure that produces nitrous oxide, an even more efficient heat trapper. U.S. livestock generate a billion tons of manure per year, contributing a whopping 65 percent of the planet’s total human-caused nitrous oxide emissions. (3) So if we sent all those cruelly confined cows out to pasture?  It is estimated that pasture-raised cows produce 4 times more greenhouse gases than cows raised in confinement. This is because cows subsisting on grass, as nature intended, grow much slower than cows fed on grain. Therefore it takes them significantly longer to reach slaughter weight. The longer it takes cows to grow, the more methane and nitrous-oxide they are emitting. (4) Free-range chickens also have a 20 percent greater impact on global warming than conventionally confined chickens. (5)
