And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.

There's a lot of mentions in the bible about the use of animals for our benefit. Including clothing, and mere sustenance.

if you've been following my posts (i assume you have) - i already pointed out that verse, some pages back, I said God showed all kinds of animals to Peter and sez "eat them"

and i've already said that this is a rebellion verse to Judaistic law of "no pork", as "you can work on a Sabbath" was a rebellion to "do nothing on Sabbath" - the New Testament is partly a rebellion to the Judaistic law cos Jesus was a rebel

neways, as Jesus, are we still on the God thing?

and all I've got to say to Thee Virgin is:-

Anyway, I have decided that after my mom gets married (which is in a couple months) I'm going to try being a vegetarian in order to be healthier. I'm also doing this because I want to be a Buddhist too, so I thought I'd get a jump on this first.

hey, best of luck.

the hardest for me to give up was chicken. i was never into pork or beef but i loved (still do actually) chicken. It's just i've decided to stop eating it altogether. eventually, i would like to believe i will have enough will power to give up fish too.

do you work out? or into any sport?

why do you wanna give up eating chicken? more so why do you wanna give up eating meat?

i was never into meat all that much to start with. last time i had pork was when i was a kid and it was only to try it. my parents brought me up with a lot of vegetables, fruits and fish.

i GAVE up chicken because:

1) my digestion is better with a pescetarian diet
2) i feel i have more energy
3) i generally feel better
4) i have diseases that went away with 80% raw food consumption
5) it's my small way of supporting animals rights because i love animals and love taking care of some of them. i particularly don't like the way chicken are farmed

chicken is pretty light as it is and if you claimed to have been brought up on vegetables and fruits then they would provide the fiber that you needed for digestion.

I could understand if you said Beef but still once you consume enough fiber your digestion will be the same

not for my tummy it isn't that light. now, i have never tried just boiling chicken. it would always be cooked in some yummy way, of course. the oil may have something to do with it.

largely though, that's just how my body reacts to chicken. our bodies don't necessarily react the same way to the same food.

my digestion is definitely better without it.

i actually notice that whenever i eat a lot of processed food (wheat bread, rice, oatmeal, etc), my digestion doesn't work as well.

all of those excluding the rice are fiber type things that should help with your digestion. kind of weird that it does the opposite but like you said our bodies don't all react the same.

For the majority of people fiber helps with digestion, you are getting fiber in other ways though through the green type veggies that you are eating.

i understand you're reasons and i respect it. but i'm just wondering on the fourth one. do you eat your meats raw? i'm sorry it could be my difference in english understanding but do you mean to say you're not cooking your chicken here when you eat it or there's some hidden meaning here that i don't get.

either way, i've nothing against with you not wanting chicken, for the reasons that you gave, except the 4th one, i basically understand you.
