IF you are one of those who eat steak, burgers or other meats, you are intro- ducing into your bloodstream the flesh, blood and reproduc- tive spores of an animal that is alien to the human organ- ism. The animal species that you eat becomes a part of you. Also, the intestines of human herbivores are 25 to 27 feet in length which is perfect for the digestion of herbs, fruits, nuts and vegetable. However, the intestines of the carnivore is from 5 – 7 feet in length, with their digestive juices being for times more potent than those of humans, thus allowing for much quicker digestion and elimination of the flesh meat that they eat before it gives them colon cancer or other harmful organisms to other parts of their body. Meat eat- ing is unnatural. An all-wise GOD have the human race the intestines and crushing molars of a herbivore. Your minister should tell you these things, but ministers of today won’t. The Bible labels today’s min- isters “dumb dogs that will not bark” – Isaiah 56:10, 11, 12. They don’t want to warn you. They gobble down those bloody steaks as much as any- body. “You are what you eat;” therefore, when you eat beef, for example, the molecules of cow blood mingle with your human blood molecules and assimilate themselves into and become part of your inner anatomy, The introduction of that cow blood into your body incorporates itself as a Part of You. The only decontaminat- ing cure is a three month inner- body herbal cleanse with per- sistence. When you buy beef, it is raw, bloody and red. When you cook it, the cooked blood turns brown; it’s the blood that gives flesh meat its flavor. IF it is koshered and drained of all blood, you would not eat it – no flavor; plus, the butcher would lose money because it is sold by the pound. Therefore, when you shop meat, what you lust for is the blood. That is one of the reasons why there is so much violence and domes- tic Abuse in America. Meat eating animals usually attack; vegetarian animals usually avoid. This is usually also true of humans. Yes, the consump- tion of blood turns a person more aggressive and animal- istic than the norm, and nega- tively alters his or her ability to truly love and be loved in return, consistently, That is why, in contrast to carnivorous people, True Hippies, who de- veloped a culture of love, peace and vegetarian lifestyle before and during the 1960s are such a peaceful people today. True Hippies have a vegetarian her- itage and peaceful demeanor. I truly enjoy the “sunshine of their presence” as like unto “a little heaven on Earth.” In contrast, I abhor the disgust- ing loud-mouthed, honky-tonk presence of country bumpkins who loud mouth and fight with each other while they are influ- enced and controlled by their diet of cigarettes, alcohol and blood. Note: Vegetarian poop is septic tank friendly. A vegetar- ian diet cuts your septic pump outs in half – Peace. Ron Dez Cave Juction Obituaries Virginia L.
