Thanks, Pablísimo !
I definitely don't preach to other people about eating meat, seeing how I was a huge carnivore for years. I'm not going to go gripe at a lion for eating meat, so why should I do it with a person? It is a very personal decision for me, if having your brain reformatted over night even counts as a decision. I have the inner feeling that lightening up my diet is going to have benefits in the years to come. My husband loooves meat and I'm not going to throw a wrench in our relationship just because I suddenly feel sick to my stomach when I eat it. Still, he'll happily eat anything I fix, even if it's a flop (I'm pretty bad at cooking) so by fixing veggie meals I'm at least getting some veggies in his system.
I take time before every meal to thank any plants and animals who gave of themselves so I can eat, and I thank the Creator for providing me with food. This seems to have come with the brain re-wiring. Food has suddenly become much more spiritual for me. I can sense the energies in the things I eat and I imagine those energies traveling through my body, making me healthy and bringing me closer to the Creator.
