Lately, I had just 'suddenly' gone off meat.  Just overnight.

Although I read 20 years ago in Fit for Life, that meat sat in our intestines for 3 days.  That's like putting meat into a warm cupboard, then imagining how it would smell after a while.  That was enough to really help me decide, as well as the cruelty aspect.  Animals do have a 'will' to live afterall.

Also I had been reading for quite some time, that we should eat foods that are alive eg. salads, raw veges etc - in order to increase our awareness and perception.  Well this is a real effort but I'm doing it, despite it being winter now.  I'm purchasing organic vegetables and making up salads at lunch (which takes away my hunger too) instead of a protein on a carbohydrate, leaving me usually still hungry.

I've read that iIf we are eating food that has had poor treatment (chickens in cages) or a terrifying death, then there is bad karma within our own bodies.  That makes alot of sense.  I had bought free range for some time trying not to support a cruel industry. 

But what about eating eggs and seafood?  I'm not there yet, but although I've gone off red meat, I've also gone off chicken (which I didn't think would happen).  I need some inspiration to go this one step further.

I do feel alot 'cleaner' I must admit.

Any thoughts?
