In regards to eating meat

[BrownEye]

from the online etymology dictionary "obsession":
1510s, "action of besieging," from L. obsessionem, noun of action from obsidere (see obsess). Later, "hostile action of an evil spirit" (like possession but without the spirit actually inhabiting the body). Transferred sense of "action of anything which engrosses the mind" is from 1670s. Psychological sense is from 1901.

of course you are free to interpret it any way you choose.

That is pretty much how I understood it without looking it up. I have experience with both obssession and possession and have a very good understanding of both.

In his pediatrics textbook, Dr. Emmet L. Holt of New York City says that if two dogs were put on a leash and one fed water and the other beef tea, the dog getting the water would live longer, because beef tea does not contain any nourishment if the fat is skimmed off, but does contain urinary wastes, which poison the dog.

An animal's cellular life continues after death. The cells continue to produce waste materials which are trapped in the blood and decaying tissues. The nitrogenous extracts which are trapped in the animal's muscles are partially responsible for the flavor of the cooked meat

The late Dr. John Harvey Kellogg said, when he sat down to his vegetarian meal, "It is nice to eat a meal and not have to worry about what your food may have died from."

I should add a little info that does not seem to be mainstream. If you have heard stories of your parents eating raw hamburger without ever getting sick, while now you can die if it does not get cooked enough, there is a cause behind that. The main cause is that cows no longer eat grass before they get to your plate. The corn and grain they eat to fatten them up creates that killer bacteria in their gut. Of course you also get the normal dose of pesticides, hormones and antibiotics in the flesh, but the killer is that they are fed unnaturally. You are safest with a fully natural range grass fed cow and not cooking the flesh much.

On the news tonight is a filled Church dinner of turkey getting everyone sick. So they tell you to wash your hands and all sorts of things as if the whole blame for the bugs is on the diners. I guess they have to accept blame if they ate it?
