     I would like to answer these 2 comments and also clarify the data of the article.
    I'm sorry that I did not put the link last night, as I was very busy to post these stuff in www.care2 .com
     
    This article is from Viva. www.viva.org.uk  a organization that is against animal farming and promotes and helps to live a vegetarian or vegan life. It is a well known organization and sponsored by celebrities of all types of backgrounds.  I stand completely behind them and therefore I use their texts.
     
    I aggree with Hawthorns comment in some aspects.  
     
     
     
    "It's not that we eat meat, it's the way HUMANS have decided to consumerize their production."
     
     Yes and yes. As in olden times nobody dared to threat animals as we are doing now , Same goes for the way as our vegetables are produced.
     
    "Without meat humans would have never evolved."
     
     
    This is not a fact , as the HIndhu people never eat meat. Evolution does not come from eating meat. Please go to the website of Viva and do your own research .  
     
     
     "Now I don't care if you eat it now or not, whatever blows your skirt up, but don't tell me what to eat."
     
    I'm telling nobody what to eat , as everybody has their own truth and own free will. But I can talk about my truth and bring information for all that would like to be informed .  
     
     
     
     "Vegetarianism isn't a Pagan thing, care for our planet is (and some Pagans would even argue that point), so how about a lecture on cleaning up agriculture instead."
     
    Cleaning up the agriculture is done with stopping the animal factory farming, as this is one of the most important points in all . The land that is wasted for the food for the tortured animals..ect. 
    And again please go to the website and get more information .  
     
     
    Pagan A generic term for a number of pre-Christian faiths – druids, witches. Pagan faith is linked to locality and to the Earth.http://druidnetwork.org/en/lightning/glossary/index.html
     
    If a pagan is not caring for a earth .. ???? How can he/she be a pagan, as this a faith that is linked and located to the earth and with this it is worthwhile do check out what we can do to help our planet in our personal life see the article of viva that I posted.

    Actually none these are NOT the root problem, look at your data, WE ARE. Im all for global warming, when the Ice caps melt and Gulf stream stops, Gia will go through another cyle in her long life. Look to history or local devistation, Gia always returns to a state of rebirth.

    We will suffer, we will die off
    If were lucky we the sons and daughters of our blessed mother will survive.

    to bad for humanity it doesnt appear as though weve done much with it, cept for maybe the iphone
     
     
    Thank you for your comment as well.
     
    Mother Earth is transforming this is fact. But as we are one wit her we are too.  She is our mother and we are all one in this web of life. The transformation of this planet does not goes only external but internal as well. If you read the old phrophecies of the Mayas, HOpies ect you will find the answer. In the shift of the ages we are able to survive if we get in harmony with our mother and love and respect her.
     
    No matter what different scientific sources are telling us. The controversy of Global warming that is only man made and that our sun is heating up as we traveling towards the complete aligment with the centre of the Galaxie in 2012. This is a fact and there are many books about it.
    Also in  youtube you will find loads of stuff about it.
     
    Peace and Green Blessings  /|\

    Just 3 clarifications on my comment before.

    "Without meat humans would have never evolved."


    This is not a fact , as the HIndhu people never eat meat. Evolution does not come from eating meat. Please go to the website of Viva and do your own research .


    I'm talking about way before Hindu's were Hindu's, I'm talking caveman humans. Specifically that the complex protein in meat caused an increase in brain size and complexity.

    I agree with you that caring for the Earth is a Pagan thing, however, I have met many Pagans who have balked at my comment of, "How can you not be an environmentalist if you are a Pagan." Depends on a person's definition, if they include "Earth-based" or not I suppose.

    I guess you didn't exactly say "don't eat meat" but "Pagans wake up" and "diet of disaster" almost implies it in my opinion.

    Anyways, off my soapbox, blessings!

    Hi!
    Great blog..I'm a vegetarian and hopefully one day a vegan..I'm also a Pisces so I tend to feel..a lot LOL

    Hey forgive my spelling here ok..lol.

    From what I've researched factory farming contributes a great deal of pollution.

    The tearing down rain forest for cows, farming corn( don't even get me started on corn) not to mention the run off of waste and the incredible abuse these animals endure.
    For a piece of dyed chopped up remains of what was a feeling creature.

    We don't eat the kind of meat our ancestors ate, no where near it. It's manufactured, injected and treated like a product with no respect or dignity.

    As far as olden times, if my memory serves me right from research I'd done I understand Indians over hunted the small horses that were indigenous to America, all memory was lost when the Europeans invaded and brought their horses which were larger.

    In 400 CE the murex a tropical seas gastropod bacame scarce due to over harvesting for purple dye.

    I guess what I'm saying here is responsibility...we've never learned it.

    I'm not sure who said they were for global warming but that destroys more than humans..we are not the only ones on the planet..many many creatures are dying off because of a few degrees change in the ocean and many more will die, not to mention our Mother..rejuvenation may occur but at what cost and why? If we can change it.

    If my own mother were dying and I could help her to become healthy I would do it..because I love her so why not for the planet?

    Whether your Pagan, Christian, Jewish, Muslim..we are all humans first, who through love, and compassion can change this course we are on if we can find that within our hearts and extend it towards our Mother and all creatures...because I am part of them.

    Peace,
    Sky
