Reducing Pollution

According to Harvey Diamond - he was part of the 'Fit for Life' rage that backed Herbert Shelton's 'Hygienic' movement -

"In the USA, the Environmental Protection Authority found that the meat, poultry and egg industry was responsible for 73.6% of phosphate waste, 68% of suspended solids, 31% of solid waste, 35% of water waste, 73% of nitrogen waste and 7% of hydrocarbons.
Our appetite for animal products is wiping out our trees, fouling our water, polluting our air, gobbling up our natural resources and decimating our land."

'An emotional appeal' you say - but there are few people to-day that would argue successfully against Diamond's conjecture.

However, the statement itself being emotional leaves room for the 'wowser' to interject with any and sundry objections.

And so, to add scientific reason to the argument - I'll add to Mr. Diamond's statement with my own observations.

The eating of flesh food - of any kind - whether it runs, jumps, hops, flies, swims or crawls - is not in accordance with the laws of anatomy and physiology as they pertain to the human species.

Structure governs function is a beautiful rule of operation.

The structure of the human digestive system - from any and all aspects proves that we, as a species, are designed to subsist (in a pristine state of health) on a diet of living, live, whole plant based foods - to the exclusion of all other food types.

If we, as the only species capable of higher level thinking, were to respond to this with logic, there would be no need to emote on the subject of pollution.

We would also conclude that the need to clean up one's individual and personal pollution comes before knee-jerk responses to environmental pollution.

If you want the cleanest personal environment - don't eat second class foods, i.e. animal flesh.

All the best for your Health and Happiness,
