RE: Consumers & Businesses Waste 40% of the Food Produced in the US
I have heard that there is a lot of food waste. I was always told to finish my meals and if I couldn't finish what was put before me it was saved for later. Really, the thing that wastes food the most is creating meat. If the grain feed to animals was given to humans no one would go hungry. Not to mention the monstrous slaughter and ecological damage too.
This fact specifically addresses processed food, rather than how many resources are devoted to the meat industry. Almost every single grocery store throws out hundreds of pounds of meat, dairy, and other perfectly edible food every single day. We raise chickens for eggs & meat, but they are fed super sustainable sources of food, either bugs or weeds from our land or trash resources like forsaken produce.
Yes its true, wasting food is evil. But it is just as wrong to murder life for food - in fact you would incur more negativity if you had meat to eat and through it away, as it is a greater disrespect. Its also very unhealthy and unnatural for humans to eat meat and dairy. At least its a lesser form of evil you participate in compared to most people who eat meant and dairy.
Everything is relative. At the Garden of Eden, we refrain from judgment and live according to our values. We honor life and have great reverence for the value our animals have in our ecosystem. We have some vegetarians here, but the majority of us eat meat. We're super healthy, and it's perfectly natural for us--our bodies have all the enzymes they need to process meat. That doesn't mean we choose to consume meat at every meal, or even every day, but we're blessed by the animal that nourishes our bodies.
Judgement is needed to discriminate between right and wrong actions. If one has respect for life one does not murder animals to eat them. Simple. Also meat is not digested properly and purifies inside the body causing imbalances as one is not meant to eat meat. If you don't eat flesh often, why not let the animals live. Its disgusting to kill a living being simple to eat it and then excrete it out a few days later. One is not blessed by the murder of an animal and it does not nourish you. You are cursed by the dead animal and it creates disease to ingest it. Please see this.
