 "They have a way of believing that veganism is somehow bad, which it can be if kids are not getting sufficient protein, Vitamin Bi2, sunshine (Vitamin D) or other essential nutrients.
If your children are old enough, teach them to be discreet. When the "authorities" came knocking on the Boutenkos' door after hearing reports that the family was on a "weird" diet, the kids, who were home alone at the time, answered the caseworker's query with, "We just got back from Burger King!"- Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "In an interview with Frederic Patenaude, he addresses the issue of veganism. He points out a study published in Ahimsa Magazine, a pro-vegan periodical, that actually concludes that vegans have a high incidence of degenerative brain diseases, such as Alzheimer's, dementia and others. He says that in the 1990s, the magazine Vegetarian Times published the results of a study claiming that lacto-ovo-vegetarians (those consuming dairy and eggs) lived longer than meat-eaters, but meat-eaters actually lived longer than vegans.

"A small percentage of long-term vegans sometimes agonize over the decision whether to eat small amounts of meat after their health fails due to strict veganism. The purpose of this writing is not to persuade you, but simply to inform you of the issues involved and conclusions that some people have made. Perhaps the majority of raw fooders transition to raw eating after first being vegetarian, or even vegan, for a number of years." - Susan E.

 "CHAPTER 6
Culture of Life Cuisine
I am a stronger follower of veganism by principle, not just because of moral and aesthetic reasons. I truly believe in a Vegetarian lifestyle and I have my faith and hopes in a change of human destiny, thanks to the physical effects and benefits of a healthier diet and its influence on the character of the people. It will bring about some benefit and improvement to human society.

To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art."- Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) |
| "Or perhaps in an environment of high quality food grown in cobalt-rich soil and unwashed greens, we could be truly vegan without supplementation.
Adherents to the no-supplement philosophy point out that vitamins have only been discovered within the last century or so. New nutrients are being discovered all the time. You may take a B12 supplement, but what if scientists discover down the road some other nutrient you are missing because you are eating true to your philosophical code but not to your genetic code?" - Susan E.

 "What I have discovered from my experience in the field of the raw-vegetarian lifestyle is that the whole question of carnivorism, omnivorism, vegetarianism, veganism, raw-foodism and fruitarianism comes down to dietary fat. Good wholesome fat in our foods, not just protein, is essential to good health and longevity (as we shall discover in Lesson 11: The Secret Revealed).
Fatty foods are associated with strong karma Humans could be primarily frugi-vores when they derive their fat from fruit (or other plant sources). Humans could be omnivores when they derive their fat from animal sources."- David Wolfe, The Sunfood Diet Success System (Get the book.) "My ethnic heritage comes from Persia where there is a long history of raw-foodism and veganism. In fact, in the Persian language (Farsi) there is a specific term for a raw-foodist: Khom Gia Khori (raw plant eater). This term is about as popular in Persia as the word "vegan" in the United States, My diet may at first seem limited compared to the standard fast-food diet called "moderation," but the way I eat is actually filled with great pleasure, because I have developed the capacity to enjoy the simplest foods and so can you." - David Wolfe, The Sunfood Diet Success System (Get the book.) |
 "There are three different approaches to the vegetarian diet:
• ovo-lacto vegetarianism, which allows the products of animals obtainable without slaughter, such as milk and eggs
• lacto vegetarianism, which allows only milk and its derivatives (eggs are unborn chickens)
• veganism, which avoids all products of animal origin, including milk, milk products, eggs, all foods containing these, and at times even honey. Proponents of veganism may go as far as avoiding all products made with wool, leather, bone, and fat, including cosmetics, soaps, clothing, and other common items."- Annemarie Colbin, Food and Healing (Get the book.) |
 "Most people who fail at veganism do so because they lack the proper nutritional understanding, not because their bodies are not designed for it. They fail to take the vegan food necessary for their body type or the season.
This issue can be resolved in a way that leaves no physiological excuse for not incorporating this way of eating into one's spiritual life. The books Conscious Eating and Rainbow Green Live-Food Cuisine establish in detail the scientific and Ayurvedic principles for consciously and successfully creating a vegan, live-food, organic, high-prana, and well-hydrated diet."- Gabriel Cousens, M.D., Spiritual Nutrition: Six Foundations for Spiritual Life and the Awakening of Kundalini (Get the book.) "Because of this, it is often better to transition slowly Not surprisingly, some people, particularly thin or hypersensitive vata types, can have a difficult time with veganism, which makes them feel ungrounded or lacking in energy. They may have tried to be a vegan unsuccessfully and returned to eating meat, which they find makes them feel better and gives them more strength in the short run. Much of this is because people don't know how to be conscious vegans, which requires knowledge of food combining and live-food preparation." - Gabriel Cousens, M.D., Spiritual Nutrition: Six Foundations for Spiritual Life and the Awakening of Kundalini (Get the book.) "In the author's experience there are four main dietary practices that greatly increase the youthing process - undereating (calorie restriction), veganism and live-food nutrition, and Spiritual Fasting. In the following chapters we will explore these practices, in relationship to gene expression and beyond. Summary, Chapter 21 1. The human genome research shows us more than 1.4 million genetic variations in the human genome, with more than 100,000 genes. 2." - Gabriel Cousens, M.D., Spiritual Nutrition: Six Foundations for Spiritual Life and the Awakening of Kundalini (Get the book.) "But plants are our natural food and are much lower on the food chain than flesh food, so a vegan diet works to reduce the amount of harm in a dramatic way. veganism causes less overall harm to life because the animals raised for consumption have eaten thousands of plants before they themselves are slaughtered. Just think of all the food that a cow must consume for the steak that one eats. When we eat, we are biting into the living planet. What we eat is the consciousness of the living Earth." - Gabriel Cousens, M.D., Spiritual Nutrition: Six Foundations for Spiritual Life and the Awakening of Kundalini (Get the book.) |
