The Nicefication of Eating Meat

[Monica]

When I was a child I craved steak.

I did too, at one time. I never ate any meat until age 10. None. My mom would give me a tiny bite and make me sit there until I ate it, even 3 hours after everyone else had finished lunch. I'd finally eat it, then promptly throw it back up.

I can't say it was because I was a natural vegetarian though, because I threw up the bread and apple too.

I was severely malnourished. I lived on cookies and candies. The only 'food' I ate was milk and bananas.

Finally, at age 10, I resolved whatever weird issues I had, and started eating 'food.' I craved hamburger meat. I would make a huge plate of it, add a ton of salt, and eat it all, with nothing else. Just plain meat!

Clearly, my body was so malnourished, that I needed a rapid injection of concentrated something. Greens weren't an option. The only veggies my mom served was canned peas and canned corn.

I now know that, had my parents been educated, they could have resolved my malnutrition with plant foods. I am quite sure I would have preferred that, because I watched my parents butcher animals and I was completely disgusted. But I didn't have many options and my parents weren't educated.

Do you think children have naturally lower vibration or higher than the adults and people around them?

I think it can go either way. Many children are naturally compassionate towards animals, and refuse to eat meat once they make the connection, until their parents force them to. But then again, some children love stepping on bugs just for fun.

I am having trouble with the approach to dietary changes that doesn't take into account the whole picture and that criminalizes people for their lack of awareness when they are just trying to live and survive.  I think a concerted effort to criminalize factory farming makes total sense, get the corporate profit motive out of the picture.  Then as people become more aware, the change will happen.  But just like issues like criminalizing abortion or homosexuality, I think it is a bad idea and not helpful to move us forward to 4D.

I haven't seen anyone here at B4 suggest criminalizing anything.
