Carne
Umberto Veronesi “La carne è cancerogena; vi svelo il motivo per cui non se ne parla”
Chi si alimenta di prodotti animali si espone ad un rischio maggiore di contrarre diversi tipi di patologie. Corre infatti in media il 30% di rischio in più di contrarre molti tipi di tumori, come quello al seno, al colon, alla prostata, al pancreas, alla vescica e ai polmoni. Un’alimentazione carnea induce ad un maggiore rischio di contrarre malattie metaboliche, disturbi cardiovascolari legati al livello di colesterolo nel sangue, infarti, diabete ed obesità.
Umberto veronesi: “Le riviste medico scientifiche più accreditate sono sul libro paga delle multinazionali farmaceutiche e pubblicano solo ciò che è consentito loro di pubblicare o ciò che è imposto loro dalle suddette multinazionali. Molti medici e ricercatori sono coscienti degli effetti dannosi del consumo della carne, ma hanno le mani legate. Io che sono uno scienziato di fama internazionale posso prendermi il lusso di fare queste dichiarazioni, se lo facessero loro molto probabilmente non lavorerebbero più.
L’industria alimentare e le multinazionali farmaceutiche viaggiano di pari passo, l’una ha bisogno dell’altro e queste due entità insieme generano introiti circa venti volte superiori a tutte le industrie petrolifere del globo messe insieme, potete dunque capire che gli interessi economici sono alla base di questa disinformazione. Ogni malato di cancro negli Stati Uniti fa guadagnare circa 250.000 dollari a suddette multinazionali, capirete che questa disinformazione è voluta ed è volta a farvi ammalare per poi curarvi.”

An insight of a genius, that I feel so true !!!
Man is completely upside-down. That is why the entire flow goes downwards, no light shines above. It is important to understand this little upside down/[wrong way round] chemical situation of man. A few things, which could give us a clue/indication: We may never even have thought about it. On the entire earth, in the whole world, no animal… yes, he drinks his mother’s milk, but after that never drinks milk; - except for man!
In all of nature, it is only man who continues to drink milk after he
has left [given up drinking] his mother’s milk. We do not even question whether
something wrong is happening! It is even more interesting, that after leaving
mother’s milk, man does not drink human being’s milk, but he goes on drinking
another animals’ milk! And remember! As long as man is living on meat of animals, on the milk of animals until then man cannot rise beyond sexuality.
You may have never even imagined this, but a cow’s milk carries the
ability to create sexuality in the body of a bull. Cow’s milk has the strength to run in a bull’s
body. It is made for that. And the amount of sexuality that exists in a bull,
it is not surprising if the same is created in a human being that drinks cow’s
milk!
Whether it is buffalo’s milk or any other milk - we consider milk to be
the purest form of food. Milk can become pure, but only when the sexuality
within - just like I told you in the sutra yesterday - starts rising upwards.
Then milk does not cause any harm.
But until the sexual energy, until the sexual force has not started
moving upwards, until then milk will force the semen to flow only in the
downward direction. The truth is this that after leaving mother’s breast, no
one has any need for milk.
We think it is wrong to eat meat, we think, it is wrong to kill animals,
to eat eggs, but we never think, “What is milk?” Milk is a part of blood. In
any [every] mother’s womb blood gets divided into two parts. Blood consists of
two parts - Red and white. The mother’s body separates the red blood from the
white blood. The white blood turns into milk. That is why by drinking milk the
production of blood increases quickly. Milk is blood.
But the matter is even more difficult/complicated; we don’t even
consider that the milk of whichever animal it is, is suitable for that animal’s
characteristics. Cow’s milk is suitable for the cow’s son. And you are not the
cow’s son, no matter how much of a shankracharya you are! The son of a cow is
the bull. And the bull also does not need milk for its whole life!
Do you know, that as long as children are small, and have not become
sexually mature, until then milk can be useful in some way. But as soon as sexual maturity has happened, as
soon as an individual - from the point of view of sex - becomes an adult, after
that, milk is very dangerous. All of mankind is suffering and in pain because
of milk. This milk – whichever animal it comes from, it creates that same kind
of animalistic tendencies in man. Also remember, milk is an extremely unnatural
food. Just mother’s milk for only as long as it is needed for the development
of the child [is okay], after that it is a completely unnatural food. And because of this
unnatural food, human being’s chemistry has been completely disturbed. That is
why in the world there is sex in animals, but there is no sexuality. There is sex, not sexuality. Sexuality is only in man.
Animals do have sex in them, of course they produce children. They also
do get attracted to sex, but they do not make sex their mainstay and think
about it day and night, nor do they make films, nor do they compose music, nor
write history or poetry. After that, [sex] they do not worry about it.
In twenty-four hours, however much man works, out of that ninety-eight
percent of it is centered around sex. Even in those two percent, if we would search
a bit deeper, we will find that it is also related to sex. What has happened to
man? Man has gone insane and in his insanity, a complete chemical
disintegration of his personality has happened.
We say no to eating meat. People think that maybe people like Mahavir
and Buddha have said no to eating meat because there is violence in it. Then
they do not know the real reason. Mahavir and Buddha did not say no to eating
meat because of violence. Those who think this and are propagating this, their
propaganda is full of misunderstanding. They have no idea at all of the inner
science of Mahavir and Buddha.
Mahavir and Buddha say no to eating meat because whichever animal’s meat
is eaten, that animal’s tendencies/qualities enter in the man [who eats the
meat.] And that man comes to the same level as that of the animal that he eats.
The important question here is not that the animal has been killed. What is
very important is that the person who eats meats is taking his soul downwards,
not upwards!
I now said this as a joke that however much a person calls the cow his
mother, just by saying, “Mother-cow” man does not become the cow’s son. But it
is important to know a few more things in this reference. And that is this,
that in a way the cow is the mother but not in the sense, that the
foolish/ignorant cow worshippers in India talk about ’mother-cow’. Their
explanation is that because we get milk from the cow therefore she is the
mother. They explain that because we get calves from the cow, because
agriculture happens with [the help of] the cow, therefore she is the mother.
These are just meaningless things, they don’t know anything. The cow is a
mother in a very different way.
Cow is the mother in the same sense that Darwin considered the monkey to
be the father. Darwin and the entire western science were researching where the
body of man has come from. What is the bodily
heredity of man? How did the body of man
develop/evolve? So by researching the evolution of the body they came to know
that human body is the next/following link after the link of the body of a
monkey. Man’s body has come from the monkey. It is an absolute truth that man’s
body has come from the monkey.
But in India nobody ever thought that the body of man has come from the
monkey. And in India people are thinking about man’s evolution since thousands
of years - so what is the reason? There is one reason! And that is India never
bothered about bodily heredity. India says where the body has come from is not important. What is
important is where the soul has come from. And when the Indian researchers went
in search of the soul, then they found that the first link of the soul of a
human being comes from the cow. The soul of man has evolved from the lineage of
cows and man’s body has evolved from the lineage of monkeys. Man has the body
of a monkey and the soul of a cow.
Like a blacksmith makes [the head of] an axe from iron, and a carpenter
makes a stick for it and both together become an axe. On one side nature is
developing the body from the side of the monkey.And in the monkey’s journey,
the most highly evolved body has become possible. On the other side, the
progress of the soul is going on. And in the journey of a cow’s soul, the most
highly evolved soul has become possible. And Man has evolved from the union of
these two. Man is the confluence of many different journeys of development. The
body has come from somewhere and the soul has come from somewhere else. That is
why India never bothered with the monkey. And the West will not be able to
bother about the cow for many years to come. They do not even know that the
soul too has its own genesis, the soul too has
a historical chain [of events]. Cow is the mother in this sense and not in the
sense that you forever keep drinking her milk
If you would try to drink even your own mother’s milk forever, then your
mother too will put a legal case on you. Milk is the central element in causing
man’s personality to become sexual. And if human beings cannot get a diet which
is free from/of milk, then there is great danger. Yes, I know that if the semen
[sexual] energy has already started to rise, then milk can be used. That is why
if the saints, sages and yogis have called milk as the highest [purest] food,
then they were not wrong. But that is only after that [upward] journey has
begun. Not before that.
In man’s chemical personality, fruit and vegetables have a fundamental
place. Why? Because fruits, vegetables, greens are at those /states of
development before sex is born/[comes in to being/existence]. Fruits and
vegetables are not born out of sex – they are not a sexual production/[of sexual origin]. The moment
animal life starts, sexual production/procreation begins. That is why animal’s
meat, its milk is all the same; all [of it] is food from animals. It becomes a
hindrance in the rising of consciousness in any man.
You are made up of that what you eat, you are created out of that. You
are ninety percent food. What you have taken inside you is what is working
within you. Try drinking alcohol for a while and you will realize that as long
as the alcohol is working [in you] you are not there – until then [there is
only] alcohol! .
I have heard, a king’s procession on a road. And a man standing at the
crossroads started swearing/cursing. Everybody was showering flowers and this
man started showering abuses. Immediately, he was arrested and put behind bars.
The next day he was brought before the king. The king asked, “What happened to
you? Why were you swearing and cursing yesterday?” He replied, “Your Majesty, if you truly ask [truly speaking], it wasn’t
me, it was the alcohol. I do not know anything. If there was swearing, then it
must have been the alcohol. I was not there at all. Since I have come to
consciousness, I am disturbed - what is going on here? Why am I locked in the
prison? I only remember the time when I was drinking in the bar and then when I
came to my senses, I found myself behind bars. I have no idea about what happened in between. If you want to find out about that
then you can ask the alcohol. I was not present in [the time period] between.”
For some time when you drink alcohol, you don’t remain yourself; the alcohol
becomes active.
Whatever we take within us, the food that we eat becomes responsible
[the cause of] for taking the whole light of our personality’s upwards or
downwards. But we have no idea about this. Or those who keep talking about
this, are talking such nonsense that it becomes difficult to listen to them.
Slowly slowly, a very big science, [is needed] which will give man’s
consciousness a chemical support, which will become achemical device, that can support the consciousness to rise
upwards, because remember! What is man? He is ninety percent chemicals, and
actually now he is ninety nine percent chemicals. The soul is, at the most with
difficulty, only one percent. Yes, it can become hundred percent some day, but
it is not right now. We will have to be mindful of it – and we will have to be
mindful about extremely small things.
So the first thing, food that comes from the world of vegetables and
fruit is what takes man’s consciousness upwards. Food derived from animals is
the kind that takes the consciousness of man downwards. Therefore, nature has
made a very amazing arrangement. Do you know that the child in the mother’s
womb – although we do say this, “my parent’s blood is running in my veins!”
This is an utter lie! No one has his parent’s blood running in his veins.
Nature has made an amazing arrangement. The child that is in the mother’s womb
does not get blood from the mother. Before the blood reaches the child in the
womb, it disintegrates. The mother’s
entire blood disintegrates into its fundamental elements. Then out of those
fundamental elements, the child selects again,[/re-selects] and then creates
new blood.
Therefore, it can happen that a mother may need blood and the son’s
blood is of no use. If a mother’s blood is running in the son and the mother
needs blood, then take the blood out of the son and give it! No, investigations
are to be done to find out whose blood will match hers - it is not necessary
that the son’s blood will match. Why?
The son has created his own blood. Nature has made the arrangement, that
you create your own [blood.] So that you can be free! And if we accept/obtain
blood or meat/flesh created by someone else, then we can never be free. Our
personality will start becoming like that of the other. That is why nature has
made this amazing arrangement so your mother’s personality does not dominate
you. That is the why the blood has to be broken down/disintegrated and
reconstructed again.
Nobody has the blood of their mother and father running in their own
blood, remember this. Only your own blood is running. And each person’s blood
is of its own kind. Everyone does not have the same kind of blood.
If my leg would be injured now and it would need an operation, and if we would take the skin from your leg and put it on
that same place, then it will not catch/sit/work. It is astonishing, how does
the skin know whose [skin] it is. It is your skin taken from the same leg, the
same place where my leg is injured – if we would cut it and put it on, it will
not stick/join. It will reject it, the whole body will refuse it and say, “we
do not accept it!” Why? How can the skin know whose skin it is? Does the skin
have its own individuality? Definitely it
does! Try grafting the skin from your other leg, and it will work, but it will
reject the skin from another person. Your body will reject it –it is foreign, it is alien – it cannot be
received!
If this is true that only your own skin can be put on your body, that it
is difficult to put someone else’s skin, then by accepting ready food from
anywhere, from the animals, we are creating a disintegration in ourselves, we are creating a danger in ourselves. Many [different]
levels will be formed in our personality. It will not remain one [unified].
That is why we need food from a source that supplies it directly, and from
where it is directly absorbed. You choose that what is suits your personality.
And [so] your personality becomes a harmony, a musical melody
which your personality has chosen it for itself. And it is of its own kind.
Then the light of that personality starts rising upwards.
The first situation is such that we have become so connected/associated
with animals that there are voices of various animals inside us. Many times you
are unable to understand – you make a man angry, and when he comes down
on/attacks you, you will not believe… – is this a man that is attacking me, or
is it an animal that is attacking me?
In anger, who knows what kind of animals start manifesting in man.
Whenever there are riots, public disturbances ,you will see wolves, dogs,
tigers emerging out of man; you will not see a human being come out. There is no human/man inside. The human is
only on the surface. Open him, tear him - man is only skin-deep, he is thinner than the thickness of
skin. Tear him a bit and what will come out can be a variety of animals – a
human will not come out. There is no human inside. We are not making a human being. And how can a man be
made? Because right now, man is the last link in the chain of evolution. There
may be many links before him, but evolution has stopped at man. So man should
very consciously create this body using all the elements that will take his
personality upwards.
Food does not mean just meals, remember. Food means anything that is
taken inside. Meals are also one [type of] food. What I take in with my eyes is
also food. And what I take inside me with my ears is also food; and what I take
in through the touch of [my] hands is also food. Food means that what goes in
through the senses and forms my personality. Therefore, do not think that food
means only meals. Meals are one type of food, there are other types of food
too.
When I see people walking on the road, then too I am eating - through my
eyes. Then what I am looking at/seeing is making/forming/shaping my
personality. What are you seeing?
Do you know, that if a man is kept in a house where everything is red,
then that man’s head will start going round in circles. And if you put that
same man in a house where everything is green, then that same man’s head will
become silent because the intake of the green colour makes the personality
silent and the intake of the red color agitates the personality .
Whatever you see, the work of chemistry continues. Each and every colour
does something when it goes inside. What you see, where you look, who you look
at; you are being made/formed/shaped by whatever you see. What you hear, each
and every sound is striking your inner veena, it is
transforming you. You listen to anything, you read anything, you eat anything,
you watch anything… Then there cannot be a revolution in this consciousness.
This revolution can be the result of an extremely well-planned/organized/streamlined
project/scheme.
I am amazed to see what a human being is seeing and hearing, it really
amazes me. If there is nothing worth seeing, then closing the eyes is not very
bad! But no one is happy to close their eyes. Everyone is happy to see wrong
[things], no one is happy to close their eyes. Instead of listening to
[something] wrong, closing your ears is not bad! But there is such an intense
longing/desire to hear [something] that we are ready to hear anything, anything! And that is when all kinds of garbage keeps being collected within us.
Man wakes up in the morning and the first thing he asks, “where is the
newspaper?” He has started to collect garbage. He has started the search for
the road going down. What does he read in the newspaper? He reads everything
that is in the newspaper, starting from the first corner to the last one. Out
of which ninety percent is news of riots, fights, accidents, cheating,
robberies, thefts, and news from the courts. And news of the most heinous of
criminals of society – politicians; that is in huge big letters/print. And he
is drinking this. He is drinking it without thinking – because this will
form/shape his personality. This is not just a casual, ordinary thing -
that you have looked at the newspaper and thrown it away. You may have thrown
the newspaper, it will get sold as waste paper/[recycling paper], but what the
newspaper has put inside you will circulate in you for many lives. Remember,
whatever is engraved in the memory once, it cannot be erased until Samadhi has
been reached. It just cannot be wiped off. Till then you will haveto carry/haul that burden.
We are carrying the burden of infinite lives. Who knows what different
types of rubbish we have collected.
A man comes and says that Mr so and so has committed a theft. And we get
so fascinated/highly interested that we drop all our tasks and ask, “What
happened next? What else happened?” Some man has committed a theft – What use
is it to you? Is it meaningful? And is there any need to collect this rubbish
inside ourselves? You want to make a garden, you want to grow flowers of life,
and you collect this rubbish, you bring these gravel and stones in the house,
you collect this mulch/grass and you have the intention to make a beautiful
garden - then this is not possible.
You will have to become like a gardener – a person who consciously
chooses - and you will have to see/check, “what am I taking inside me?” So the
first thing is, what are we taking inside us –whether in the form of food or in
the form of words; words are also food.
Now computers have been made/invented in the whole world. The knowledge
that is put in – do you know, it is called ‘feed’ - giving food. They are feeding the computer.
We are also feeding our computers - twenty-four hours we are giving it food -
through newspapers, books, with anything.
Every week five thousand new books are printed and released. The hunger
for knowledge that man has these days was never so great before. But man has
never been as ignorant as he is today. There is such a big stack of books -
every week five thousand new books are increased on earth. Librarians in Moscow and
Washington are faced with the question that if the amount of books continues to
increase at this pace, then by the end of this century there won’t be any more
place to keep the books. Where to put the books? Then there should be a
provision/way/solution to make the books smaller, which can be read with a
microscope. Else books of microfilms should be made, that can be read on the [big] screen because where to
keep all these books? Today there are so many books in the libraries of Moscow
and London that if those shelves were lined up, they would go around the earth
three times.
This huge rising pile and man’s craving for knowledge; that from morning
to evening he is so eager to learn/collect from the newspapers, from the radio,
from television, from whomever he meets, from leaders, from gurus, from sadhus,
from sannyasins – he is eager to collect from everyone. In order to gain
knowledge, man goes on collecting so much! ,And there is no trace of knowing in him. We don’t
see any light of knowing shining in him. His lamp is extinguished completely.
There is no knowing whatsoever, but there is a mountain of knowledge
.Certainly, something somewhere is going wrong [in him]!
We seem to be collecting garbage. We are not selecting/choosing
anything. Just like a man would start eating just about anything; stones,
pebbles, whatever he gets/finds, he eats. So he eats a lot, but also starts
dying and people say, “But he eats so much/well but why is he dying, why is he
getting sick?” Man is putting just anything inside [him], and every single
thing matters! [Even] if one small word goes wrongly inside you, then it shakes
up your entire personality. One tiny small word, just a slight little word…
You are walking on the street and you meet someone and he says, “This
man is really stupid.” Now ‘stupid’ is a tiny little word, which is only a
sound. A person who does not know Hindi will hear that ‘stupid’ was said and
will happily go away. He will not know anything. But you know! And your night
is disturbed and you keep tossing and turning. Just that small word called
‘stupid’ went in and is making you toss and turn; there is sweat on your
forehead. You get up, you sit, and you wash your head, but.that ‘stupid’, is
going round and round in you. It is saying, “that man said ’stupid’!” Just one
tiny small word! And it goes in and starts to create such a movement/revolution [note: Osho uses the word
andolan – which is a political or social movement], so many waves. So
we have collected who knows how many scraps of rubbish. And after collecting
all that rubbish we are thinking of the journey upwards... We have heard wrong,
eaten wrong, we are wearing the wrong things. Nobody asks that what we are
wearing, why we are wearing it, what are we doing?
Have you ever thought that whenever the era becomes more sexual, then
the clothes become tight? And when the era becomes spiritual, the clothes
become lose. Have you ever thought about this? This happens suddenly. This is
not accidental, there is a reason
behind it.
The tighter the clothes on the body, that much tenser will man be. That
is why on the battlefield, tight clothes are very important. Tight clothes on
the battlefield are extremely necessary, because on the battlefield man has to
be made man to do such nasty things that his being peaceful can be dangerous.
He has to be under stress. He should be in so much stress, that for the whole
time because of his clothes, he keeps wanting to leap out of them. His mind is
ready to jump – ‘when can I get out of the clothes?’ He is constantly in so
much anger, just by being himself, he is in a constant pull/stretch/strain, is
always ready to run.
Have you ever noticed if you are wearing tight clothes you will climb
two steps at a time. You won’t have seen a man wearing lose clothes climbing
two steps at a time. A man with lose clothes will climb every single step with
majesty, dignity and grace. That is why in the houses in the olden times there used to be
separate staircases for the servants and separate ones for the masters. The
servants’ clothes were tight. Their stairs were made to be high – so that they
climbed them with a spring. The master’s clothes were lose, they hung far down.
Maybe two servants would lift/carry them [the length of the clothes] while he
walked. His stairs were low. He slowly took one step at a time.
In the whole world, no sannyasins have ever had tight clothes. There is
a reason. The reason is that the more you constrict the body, the more will
your tendencies travel downwards. The more you allow the body to relax, be free, the more will there be a rise in the upward direction.
I am telling you these small little things just as an example, so that
you can understand the entire chemistry of this body; just an indication. Then
you will have to arrange the whole thing according to you. But once you have
understood the hint - what all you can do to bring your awareness upon that
energy center inside – then all these things can be of help towards meditation.
A man wears any kind of clothes, they are of any colour, he has put so
many strips/bands of multiple colors all together on one [piece of] clothing,
and no one asks, “what has happened to this man?” Because clothes with strips
of many different colors gives us the message that the man’s brain is
restless/turbulent/in a turmoil inside. A peaceful man will prefer a color
which is continuous over a larger area. Have you seen the sky sometimes – when
the whole sky is deeply blue? There is no distinction at all, it is one
unseparated color. If you lie down on the sand with open eyes and look at that
blue sky - as you go on watching that blue sky, you will find that you too have
become one with that sky. Something inside has become peaceful. But imagine we
have put many colorful bands in the sky, thousands of multi-colored bands have
been put in the sky, watch that for half an hour and you will come home crazy!
It will become difficult to find out where is your home. “Who are we?” The entire
world is going crazy. A madhouse has been made. It is becoming mad from every side because what we are
doing is only exciting/agitating, it is not making us silent.
Why do you like it when you go to the mountains? What is there in the
mountains? There is only greenery and nothing else. That one long spread of
green going far and wide makes something quiet within us. A deep resonance
echoes within us. Actually, the personality of our entire body is made of
exactly these green plants. There is an inner
harmony with the tree outside and our inside.
When we go close to these green trees, the parts in us which came from the
trees start vibrating, and a communion happens, a meeting takes place. This
does not happen when we go to a building made by man.
If you would stand for a while in New York or Chandigarh or if you get
near some big buildings in Mumbai, then you will feel sad, not refreshed. All
man-made buildings of cement, concrete and stones do not
echo/resonate in your being. But close to a tree, close to an old tree –there
are green branches spread out in the sky – when you sit quietly beside it, then
something happens. Osho.

How I became a vegetarian
As a kid my mother forced me to eat meat even if I didn't like it. I grew up in a farm where vegetables, fruits and animals were available for food.Once in awhile we would kill an animal like a chicken or a rabbit for a meal and once a year a big pig to make salami etc. This was a normal routine on our farm.
When I came across meditation in India, in a center that is now Osho International Meditation Resort, I discover vegetarianism. It was there that I got to know the passion and the creativity that comes along with cooking and creating vegetarian recipes for thousands of visitor from allover the world.
And in that wonderful place I had the opportunity to create and create!!! And now I am in touch with the chefs there and I orchestrate the menu and recipes through mail.
In one occasion many years ago when I returned to Italy from India, out of habit I killed a rabbit for a dinner party, and in that moment it became very clear that the rabbit didn't like to be killed, so I asked myself "do I need to kill to eat?" For sure no!!
From that moment it became clear that I wanted to eat only vegetarian food.
Recently here in Sweden where I reside now I came across raw food and I took a course from Janne Larsen of the Nordic Raw Living Chef Academy. I'm now graduated as a Raw Chef.
It's very interesting to see the habit that we carry with us about food. Raw food is usually at room temperature and we are used to eat hot or warm food so is quite a change. On the other hand in raw food all the nutrients are available since by cooking most the enzyme get destroyed.
Often I get the question on where I get the protein as a vegetarian or vegan or raw eater?
The answer is quite logic. The cow doesn't eat meat but grass, and there are many animals that doesn't eat meat and they have no problem getting enough protein. Why would humans? Many studies say that the human digestive system is not made for digesting meat.
In fact there are more protein in kale leaves that the same amount of meat and like all the vegetables if eaten raw it contains enzymes that make the digestion easy.
And regarding the myth that drinking milk you get strong bones, USA and Sweden are the biggest consumer of milk pro capita and is where there are more cases of osteoporosis. Worth some thought.
I feel that vegan and raw is the future of food where respect for life is part of human consciousness and meditation is the key to consciousness.

In one occasion many years ago when I returned to Italy from India, out of habit I killed a rabbit for a dinner party, and in that moment it became very clear that the rabbit didn't like to be killed, so I asked myself "do I need to kill to eat?" For sure no!!
From that moment it became clear that I wanted to eat only vegetarian food.
Recently here in Sweden where I reside now I came across raw food and I took a course from Janne Larsen of the Nordic Raw Living Chef Academy. I'm now graduated as a Raw Chef.
It's very interesting to see the habit that we carry with us about food. Raw food is usually at room temperature and we are used to eat hot or warm food so is quite a change. On the other hand in raw food all the nutrients are available since by cooking most the enzyme get destroyed.
Often I get the question on where I get the protein as a vegetarian or vegan or raw eater?
The answer is quite logic. The cow doesn't eat meat but grass, and there are many animals that doesn't eat meat and they have no problem getting enough protein. Why would humans? Many studies say that the human digestive system is not made for digesting meat.
In fact there are more protein in kale leaves that the same amount of meat and like all the vegetables if eaten raw it contains enzymes that make the digestion easy.
And regarding the myth that drinking milk you get strong bones, USA and Sweden are the biggest consumer of milk pro capita and is where there are more cases of osteoporosis. Worth some thought.
I feel that vegan and raw is the future of food where respect for life is part of human consciousness and meditation is the key to consciousness.

You need a very proportionate, calculated food balance to keep all your needs completely fulfilled, food that helps consciousness to grow, food that makes you more loving, more peaceful, food that destroys your anger, your hatred. It is your chemistry that food changes, and all these things – anger, hatred, love, compassion – are connected with your chemistry.Osho.
