Why I am not a vegan

Edgar Cayce...nuff said

??? I'm curious about what you are referring to.

In my 20's I began studying Edgar Cayce.  It game me a much needed structure for my life and has worked well for me.  Edgar, BTW, channeled information about the Law of One back before Carla, Don and Jim (and I) were born.  

Regarding diet, he gave different suggestions for different individuals, and I don't recall him suggesting a vegan diet.  However, I am not saying he would have condemned such a diet, only that he did not say it was necessary for a moral reason.  He transitioned in 1945 so who knows what he would have thought about some of the issues we discuss today.

For most people he recommended 80% fruits and vegetables and 20% for the combination of fish, fowl, and whole grains.  He recommended dairy, but not mixed with coffee.  For most people he said to avoid beef and pork.

That's interesting caycegal.  I think that is basically what I eat, what my diet is.   

To be vegan would be really difficult for me, unless I lived alone.  I probably eat an animal product once or twice per day.  Mostly seafood though, and then some chicken or eggs, and cheese, or occasionally yogurt.

I do crave meat protein still though and since my family is meat-eaters, it does put me in a position of choosing between my body's desires and my will to create a non- violent world.  Which I have embraced are not mutually exclusive.

I eat sardines a lot and mussels which others think are really gross, ironically.  I don't think anyone could convince me that eating those is " worse" than eating a carrot or potato.  

As an aside, it is interesting to me that the UN is really pushing for veganism for sustainability reasons.  Really makes me question since I don't trust the underlying motives of the UN.
