to our bodies and especially to our  
livers. Beef contains high quantities of  
creatine, a member of the family of  
chemicals that includes caffeine and  
theine, which are heart and kidney  
stimulants. Pork is very high in fat

in protein (only 9.4 percent). All meat  
putrefies in the intestine and strips  
calcium from the body. If you wish to  
eat meat, then strive to find organic

suppliers and avoid eating huge quantities, putting slivers rather than big  
chunks on your plate, more in keeping with our sedentary lives. Always  
cook meat with herbs like oregano and thyme to reduce parasites and  
microbes in general.  
A four-ounce portion of red meat typically contains 100 mg of  
cholesterol, even after it has been skinned. The excessive fats found in  
meat raise cholesterol and uric acid levels in the tissues and interfere with  
the proper metabolism of carbohydrates. They encourage diabetes and  
dull the brain by causing clogging of capillaries, reducing the amount of  
available oxygen. Some cultures balance their meat consumption by  
mixing lean meat with grains, seeds, and vegetables. Meat, being a heavy  
protein, requires maximum digestive abilities and, if the body is too sick  
or undernourished to do this, toxicity and further sickness will result.  
Genetically engineered meat may become more prevalent. These  
genetic creations are believed to be the future of meat, with extra meat  
and less fat being the goal; but some unpleasant side effects have been  
observed. I find it wholly frightening. It is not natural selection and runs  
contrary to principles of biodiversity.  
If you want to move from meat eating to vegetarianism or veganism,  
take it very slowly over a period of a year or more to give your body time  
to adjust. It is also important to make sure you know where to gain  
adequate vegetable protein, which is vital for growing bodies. Organic  
meat is certainly an option, but ensure that the machinery used in the  
slaughterhouses has been thoroughly washed and sterilized to prevent the  
risk of cross-infection, which according to meat inspectors is prevalent.
