No More Slaughter

We are a humanity that has thrown baby boys into a river because they could be a threat to power.

We are a humanity that killed millions of Jews because they weren’t the supposed pure race.

We are a humanity that is so accustomed to hunger and homelessness that we can walk by someone starving and only give them judgment.

We are a humanity that rapes, sexually abuses children, emotionally abuses each other, and lies to those we love for lack of courage to stand accountable for our actions.

We are a humanity that kills other people during war time because our government tells us they are the enemy.

We are a humanity that knows the fundamental difference between right and wrong. We are also a humanity that individually and collectively does wrong, every day.

We are a humanity that hunts animals for the sport of it.

We are a humanity that demands our grocery store shelves be stocked full of animal meat because we enjoy the convenience of picking a package of our favorite body parts, without blood on our hands.

While those acts of humanity might not all be you and me, we are a part of that history and these present choices. Ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance does not let you off the metaphorical hook. Just because blood isn’t on your hands, the act of supporting that which causes needless pain and suffering on this planet with your eating and spending habits is killing just the same.

The collective majority of humanity sets the trends for what others in the minority often mirror. Yes, that is weak-minded. It’s also damn true. Those who stand in opposition to the majority with a different message for how to live, much like me and the content of this article, counter the collective mass consciousness in vain.

So knowing that nothing I say in this letter will likely make any difference in your habits whatsoever, let me ask you; do you think you’re healthy? Do you think humanity is healthy? Are we a humanity living in peace and harmony with one another?

No.

Doesn’t the answer to those questions imply that we need to change our habits before we destroy each other, the animals we eat, and this planet we cohabitate? What else could the destructive nature of our habits mean, if not a time to change?

Your potential lack of optimal health is like a form of delusion. That delusion makes your crave the things that increase your level of imbalance. If your diet consists of lots of meat, specifically the live stock raised for slaughter, then you are ignorant and toxic. In truth, toxicity breeds ignorance. Toxicity compels you to make decisions that aren’t in your true integrity. Toxicity makes you over eat, lash out at people you love, judge those who act differently than you, or even give up on living entirely. Yep, toxicity makes you delusional. So of course it makes sense that you don’t just stop acting in ways that aren’t in your integrity, because that’s what delusion is; you’re living in a toxic induced illusion.

In this delusion, you can justify anything, if it’s something you’ve decided you need to continue feeding the toxicity that is in-turn making you more, well, disconnected from who you really are.

We feed cows foods that have zero nutritional value. We kill those cows in the most inhumane ways possible. We eat the nutrition-absent cow flesh over a glass of wine or a beer, while enjoying a football game, or each other’s company at a nice restaurant. That’s shameful. Have you ever heard the noise coming from a slaughter house? I have. Have you seen a cow tortured and indignantly slaughtered by people who range from amused to excited about the pain they inflict? Afraid to watch?

Humanity also can mean kindness. Are we kind if we support brutality by picking up a tenderloin steak at the grocery store?

No.

We’re killing ourselves in a delusional, toxic rage by continuing to eat the way the vast majority of our humanity chooses to.

We are killing the planet because of the methane gas from the billions of cows raised for degrading slaughter, in the name of our cuisine addicted pleasure.

The only thing more wrong than knowingly doing something that hurts other living beings, is choosing ignorance to remain unaware of how wrong our way of life is.

A lot of the education available to us about the slaughter industry isn’t true. In fact, most of the education about what true health is, how your food is grown, and the way animals are treated for slaughter couldn‘t be further away from the truth. In this age of lobbyists’ setting the trends for what we believe and follow, truth is subjective to the corporate objective. The regulations for your food are exactly the way they are for a reason, and it isn’t for your well being, and it certainly isn’t taking into consideration how animals are slaughtered.

Education spouting misinformation is not the truth. So if you believe a lie, you are living in a state of self mockery. True change requires people to get healthy. However, in this addict-filled human race, our obsession with meat, convenience, packaged foods, drive thru‘s, frozen dinners, or believing the F.D.A. standards of a good diet; I fear true change is far away…

My wish is that people capture the awareness to create contrast in their lives. Most people know how it feels to be in a body that’s toxic, tired, viral, and emotionally reactive. My work is about giving you the eye-opening contrast of being in a body that feels expansive, oxygenated, and full of positive vibrations jolting through you. A part of my wish for humanity is for the majority to feel so good that the way we treat animals (and each other) can stop being negative.

This article is my vote to abolish the slaughter industry, and for humanity to start acting kindly. This article is also me saying that all the lame ass excuses that people provide for why they eat the foods they choose to stop. If you’re choosing to support the suffering on this planet by what you put in your mouth, then you must stand accountable for your decisions!
