--------------------------------
We have disassociated ourselves from the cycles of life and death. In
today's society (meaning all of us here with a computer to communicate with)
we are not taught to deal with life and death as a natural process. Our
food is living before we eat it, whether it is plant or animal. Morality
has nothing to do with eating living material to stay alive. I believe this
is the essence to why we make the weird processed food we have developed, it
allows us not to stay separate from death. What the hell is a Twinkie
anyway? When we over process food and develop foods not found in nature we
no longer recognise it as a living material that gives us life. Think about
how many people today actually live on foods that do not resemble living
foods at all. Eat a chunk of beef and you are experiencing eating something
that had life. Eating a Twinkie doesn't. But don't be fooled, eating a
head of lettuce is eating a living thing. Maybe it screamed when killed, we
just didn't hear it!
