Why I am not a vegan

[Monica]

in these threads I see unity as not wished to be seen and an expectation that others will mimic the ways self found to be of service.

Elros Tar-Minyatur, I want you to mimic me. So, first of all, quit ALL your vices. RIGHT NOW. Today, right this minute, give up ALL sugar, all white flour, all pesticides, all artificial colorings and flavorings, all meat, all dairy, all eggs, all cannabis, all other drugs, all prescription drugs, and all alcohol. That means NO beer or wine either, Not even socially.

Next, every time you get sick, don't see a doctor. Instead, use herbs. Spend hours every day reading about herbs, vitamins, and homeopathy. Become educated about self-care because your body is the temple of your soul. Drugs pollute the body temple so you must use only natural substances. Doctors and prescriptions are to be used only in extreme, acute emergencies.

Buy only organic, non-GMO foods. When possible, buy local.

Volunteer at animal shelters. Join your local animal-rights group and participate in rallies.

Meditate every morning and night. Read voraciously.

Quit your job and start a business that offers health products to those who are sick. (There are a number of good ones to choose from.) Be aware that this means you will become their free counseling service, because as you start out telling them about how the health product can help their xyz disease, they will often end up telling you their life stories, and you must be patient and compassionate, even if it means spending an hour or more on the phone with them.

Also get involved in politics, but only when there is a candidate who isn't a puppet of the negative elite. You must do your part. Vote in local elections on issues such as removing fluoride.

Try to raise awareness whenever possible, in whatever ways possible, but don't directly approach people in everyday life. That does NOT work. It just pisses them off. Only bring up the animal suffering issue if the person seems open to hearing about it, such as directly asking you about diet, or joining an online discussion about meat. These are ways that they show they are interested. If you just bring it up out of the blue when having dinner with friends, it will be useless.

In most cases, people won't care about the animals anyway. So focus more on how science supports the health benefits of a plant-based diet. That is much more effective in most cases. But, continue to plant seeds regarding the environment and oppression of animals, whenever possible, in an ongoing effort to raise awareness.

Champion oppressed people too. Be willing to get unfriended by your Christian brothers and sisters when you post info on facebook about the oppression of the Palestinians. Continue to show that there is another side to that conflict.

Join an activist group that seeks to bridge the gap between pro-lifers and pro-choicers. Participate in dialogs and write articles. Maybe even host a radio show. Embrace open communication and honest exchange of ideas on these volatile topics. Have the courage to speak up even when your view is unpopular and people tend to lash out rather than face their own denial. Persevere because it's part of your life mission and it's important.

Adopt as many stray animals as you can. If you cannot adopt another, foster the dog or cat until you can find a good home for them. Be sure to prescreen the prospective adopters, especially if the dog is a pit bull. Pull over on the side of the road and pick up scared, running dogs whenever possible.

Plant a garden and fruit trees because that's a great way to get organic food. Grow your own sprouts and learn how to ferment. Then share that knowledge with others, to show how easy it is.

Do all this while juggling 2 businesses and homeschooling your children. Be sure to allow some relaxation time in your garden, and be sure to exercise. You'll want to stay as healthy as you can, to provide service to others.

Whatever you're doing now, Elros Tar-Minyatur, it's Not enough. I want you to do ALL the things I just listed, then report back to me.
