This site is here to explain you how to become a vegetarian through a simple new-found way according to human nature. Content
There are clear anatomical,
physiological and psychological evidences of that. Structure of digestive organs and
composition of digestive secrets of human body is the best to acquire
plant food, namely fruits including fruits themselves, vegetables,
nuts, and grains. You can see detailed info in the Plant Eaters Or Meat Eaters web page. Saying figuratively, human being is
designed to consume fruits. However, the main evidence pro
vegetarianism is its pleasantness and simplicity when it is right.
Please let me explain what is right vegetarianism. 2.
Being vegetarian presents currently a big difficulty Since vegetarian diet is the most
suitable human being, it ought to be pleasant, easy and joyful for us. However, people
who try to transit to vegetarianism experience big difficulties instead.
Several days of strict vegetarian diet would surely wake up a hungry beast
of prey within you. Many famous people failed in
adherence to vegetarianism and appeared later to be not vegetarian - despite reports. However, even people who currently
reckon themselves as vegetarians are not such in
the original sense of that word. In point of fact, there is no true
vegetarianism among varied present lifestyles called
vegetarian. This means that something is wrong
with vegetarianism at present. 3. What is amiss in the present vegetarianism? Thus, we see that lifestyles
pretending to be vegetarian are not natural contrary to the expectations.
Their followers have to take pills or some kinds of animal food mainly
because of principal absence of vitamin
B12 in usual plant foods. However, the problem can be easily solved
in full accordance with the basic vegetarian principles. The matter is that vitamin B12 missing in plant food
appears within fruits as a result of fermentation after they come off their mother plant mature,
or cutting off and following long-term lying in a warm place.
The fermentation occurs owing to activity of good microflora (community of microorganisms) that naturally lives
within fruits. Remember how nice are slightly overripe fruits (bananas, kiwis, pears, for
example). The nice taste of such fruits accords to their
benefits! Our feelings do not mislead us! But usually such fruits are treated
as refuse. Really, they are perishable, and quickly turn bad. However, just such fruits should be
eaten. And just consumption of such fruits (or their substitutes - see
further) makes vegetarianism in true sense of the word possible and allows us to reject any animal food and
artificial supplements. You just experience no wish for animal food if you consume overripe fruits. Besides production of vitamin B12, good microflora
destroys some specific substances within fruits (phytates). Those substances prevent absorption of
essential minerals such as calcium, iron, zinc etc. - another
common problem of the present vegetarianism that is currently solved by
means of supplements. In a wonderful way, this way of eating corresponds to the basic principle of vegetarianism that tells us not to injure any living creature. Saying living creature we usually imply 'animal', but plants are alive too and one injures them when one picks fruits, leaves, stems, shoots from them, or entire plant from the ground. Thus, we shouldn't eat food obtained in that way. Of course, we mustn't injure plants for any other purpose. In the case we eat ripe and overripe fruits fallen off their mother plants we do not injure plants. 4. Available substitutes of ripe fruits Of course, at present it's practically impossible to obtain enough supplies of ripe and overripe fruits. Currently fruits are produced industrially and taken unripe for the purpose of shipping and storage. However, this is no reason for giving up. There are several easy ways to
overcome the problem.
Don't put together different kinds of fruits! The matter is that different fruits contain different types of the microorganisms that can prevent activity of each other. Consume the foods and beverages obtained in these ways any time you want and as much as you want. Rely on you feeling, and relish them, they are not pills! Those fermented foods and drinks are to be merely additives to your vegetarian board. You need not live on them only. But it is important that you refuse eating green parts of plants (lettuce, fennel, parsley etc) because they contain bitter substances that suppress that good microflora. More that two years ago I became a vegetarian without the intention. I conducted one of my usual kitchen experiments, namely I added to my meals a homemade fermented beverage. As a result I started to note that my piece of chicken always stayed untouched on my plate whereas my rice was eaten. I just did not want to eat any animal food and do not up to this time. I boiled it again and again several days until it became like a rag. It was the last piece of animal flesh I ever bought. I also eat neither eggs nor dairy and take neither vitamin nor mineral pills. At this I don't "vegetate"! Before that I had decided that vegetarianism is not natural human diet because of absence of vitamin B12 in plant food, but I surprised myself. I should add a couple of noteworthy features of the diet I adhere to, which I consider essential. I'm not a row food diet follower, and am convinced that mild cooking; especially baking is quite necessary for human health. I believe so because fallen ripe fruits that are apparently the only human natural food ought to be slightly baked under the hot tropical sunlight of biological homeland of humanity. Also since I accept ripe fruits to be the only natural food, I refuse greens that, incidentally, taste unpleasantly bitter. The bitter flavor just signals and warns us that the food is bad. Of course, the greens are a traditional food, but likewise meat is. See also the page dealing with the importance of proper vegetarianism for women's health The Fault of Eve.
