Vegetarians make better lovers

From 'THE COOKBOOK for PEOPLE WHO LOVE ANIMALS.' There is no force powerful enough to stem the tide of an idea whose time has come. We can no longer, in good conscience or in good health, continue to slaughter innocent animals for food, clothing, experimentation, sport, or for any reason. The vegan concept is not a fad that will pass with time. It is the birth of compassion, a concern for others, that is the single most important step in the next evolution of humankind. Consider the lion and the giraffe, the weasel and the elephant, the wolf and the deer. It is not the size or strength of the animal that determines its nature, violent or gentle; it is that animal's food source. We humans are animals. It is our food source that determines our nature, violent or gentle. We must change to a gentle food source if we are to evolve; and we must evolve if we are to survive.

From Tree of Life's Being Vegan article...  I want to sincerely thank the skeptics for their courage to speak out. I pray that people will let go of ideologies and start to look at what is the most effective diet. After more than 35 years of research, looking for the best diet for spiritual life and general well being, I conclude that the most appropriate diet for survival, well being, and spiritual life in a highly toxic world is a personalized live food organic vegan diet, that is low-glycemic, highly mineralized, and well hydrated. This conclusion is based on thousands upon thousands who have lived successfully on a live food diet. It is also the diet that creates the least amount of pain and suffering to the animal kingdom, the least amount of chronic disease, and least ecological damage.

All the protein and calcium required for human health,
including during Pregnancy and child raising
are available in the delicious foods
that grow from the earth.

A list of other meals we eat
All Recipes that call for egg I substituted with 2 ounces of tofu.
My family eat kosher cheese (cheese with no rennet, that is the lining of the cows stomach)
Armstrong cheese or feta my family will eat.
My family will also not eat anything with gelatin.

Quinoa
We eat quinoa every day as a main meal.  Quinoa is a complete protein, it is light and easily digestible. It comes from South America and is eaten as a breakfast food.   I cook it like rice and add vegetables, sometimes I'll make a soup with quinoa or just by itself with a few herbs and spices.

The list goes on and on.....

We mainly eat fruit, toast or cereal after our morning ritual upon waking. (depends on the season)
One main meal, either late afternoon or early evening,
we will snack on light veges, crackers, cheese and fruit.
We drink purified water and herbal teas, vege juice (carrots, parsley and apples)
soy products and fruit juices.
We stretch our bodies and breath our mantras keeping ourselves wholesome and well.

We have gone through periods were we have had very little money.  Living wholesome and organically is very expensive.  I always try to feed my family every day with veges, fruit and grains or beans/nuts/seeds.  When we were low in veges we drunk herbal teas, I grow our own alfalfa and sprouts through the winter and tomatoes and herbs what ever I could in buckets and pots through the summer, on our patio and window sills.  I buy only what is in season and affordable.  So our meals differ through the seasons.
We grow wheat grass to juice to build our immunity and cleanse the toxins from our bodies. 
One bag of grain (we prefer quinoa) can go along way.  There have been plenty of times when a fruit has been a treat. 
From watching what we eat and eating consciously we are healthier, stronger, fitter and fill of energy.  When we feel down, we breathe and exercise and eat light, creating time for ourselves. Always keeping our spirits on top.  Which is not always easy when the world can seem against you and your choices.
Chakra meditations, I  personally find, help me a lot.

The time has come for a new wave of change,
Lets open our minds to a conscious way of being
to grow a world balanced for all to enjoy living.
We are all forms of energy.
How we fuel ourselves, to energize ourselves, affects all selves.
