The power of food

Friday 8th January

What they may NOT know is that there’s a strong counter argument going on out there, gaining ground rapidly. People are beginning to wake up to the fact that animal products are dangerous as well as immoral. We know food is obviously essential to life but not this food. If animal derived foods are anything, they are toxic and unethical. They are detrimental to life, environmentally, human body-wise and animal-wise … and yet we remain omnivores unaware that we’ve been royally brainwashed. They’ve got us where it counts. We can’t stop thinking about the ‘roast’ on Sunday or the ‘omelette’ for breakfast or the after-dinner ‘ice cream’. How can anyone walk past a cake shop, or any one of the many other comfort stations, without paying a visit?
Poisonous they may be but the addictive qualities of these foods force us to eat them. We can’t get past our own tastebuds and tastes. We’re hemmed in by our social eating habits. If we go against the eating norms of our society, then relationships will be immediately compromised and threatened. In contrast, when we eat from the same table, we’re guaranteed acceptance.
