Animal food in diet

[Diana]

Since human body needs animal protein in order work properly.

This is simply not true.

As each of us and our paths are unique, the same may be true for one's dietary needs. I can not speculate as to what each of our unique bodies need. What if it's a pre-incarnative choice, or in some way related to one's spiritual journey? 

My body had a bad reaction to animal products when I was a child. Vegetarian wasn't even a word I had heard of at the time. Finally, in high school, I put the pieces together for myself and started to eliminate meat. I've been a vegetarian/vegan for decades now. And, this wonderful body o' mine grew a whole new life (a baby  ) on a vegan diet. He's now almost a foot taller than me. Yikes!

That's awesome.

What I meant by that statement was more just the physiological science behind supplying the physical body with what it needs nutritionally, with no reference to past lives etc. There is so much addiction and habit and propaganda (from the meat and dairy associations and who knows what) that the actual science and truth are buried under false and outdated ideas.

It certainly is a personal choice, as everything is. It's just that the mainstream thinking on this issue is very twisted and propelled by profit and control. One's choice could include disassociating with mainstream propaganda and habit/addiction, and cleared of that obfuscating input, make a true connection to one's body and then decide.
