Re: Nutritarian links
I agree with you too Tony...
It is unfortunate that things like Dairy and meat get a bad rap due to the way we abusively raise and treat these animals...
here is a bit of something I posted a few weeks ago on another forum site...
I hope you understand, by what I write, that the reason behind the animal protein being acidic is due to the animals themselves being less than healthy.
If WE can correct acidosis and acidic problems... we could allow these animals to graze on organic pastures and they would no longer be acidic, or give acidic milk or meat either...
When animals are/were healthy, they are/were a concentrated source of minerals, proteins and healthy essential fats... not to mention vitamins out the wazoo... wild or pastured animals have a much healthier fat, including Omega 3s, protein, and mineral profile.
Commercial meat and dairy were the first food sources to degrade along because of the penning and feeding practices changing from pasture to grain, and then waste from grain processing, distillation of alcohol, and now, who knows what?
Throw in the
Antibiotics (50% of all
Antibiotics used), growth hormones, chemicals in the feed, and now GMO, and we have a recipe for global malnutrition and chemical poisoning among these animals and those that consume them.
Poor animal husbandry has been going on for hundreds of these feed animals generations... and they are not the healthiest of foods to eat at all as they once were.
There were many native cultures that were primarily meat and/or dairy based in the past that were some of the most hardy and long lived peoples of their time... the strongest warriors too. If you are descended from a people like this, as I am, you most likely do not do well with a strict vegan diet due to your inherited genetic adaptive traits.
My point is... meat and dairy is bad for us and acidic solely due to man's interference and greed... not because the meat/dairy is inherently bad for us.
Farmed fish is that way now, acid forming, and fish never used to be; what changed? Man's "farming" of them, using the cheapest feeds, chemicals and drugs on them.
It is easy to put the pieces together... man is making a bigger and bigger mess of things...
End forum post...
One cannot talk "protein" without minerals... one cannot talk "fat" without minerals... one cannot talk "carbohydrates" without minerals...
Comprehension requires multidimensional thought.
