This is a link to a discussion in TFOC reader forum about the consumption of meat, in which it is stated that Dr. Tom wrote in his book, The Joy of Perfect Health that "humans are not designed to eat meat".
I do not agree with this statement, for several reasons.
Other than what sciences has to say about the omnivorous nature of Humans, the need of meat consumption is mentioned many times in the Book (TP) naturally, without condemning it or stressing vegetarianism.
P.32-33:
‘But, coming back to the planet Bakaratini, 150 years after the nuclear
holocaust, we wanted to help these people.’
‘Their immediate need was food. Still they were subsisting essentially from
products of the sea, resorting occasionally to cannibalism to satisfy their
omnivorous yearnings. They needed vegetables and a source of meat. Vegetables,
fruit trees, grains, animals - all that was edible had disappeared from the planet.
(...)
‘Next, we had to re-introduce livestock, plants and trees on the planet according
to the species known to have adapted climatically in specific regions before the
catastrophe. This too, was relatively easy...’
P.100, in the market of the legendary Savanasa, capital of Mu.
I would like to remind that this was in fact the capital of spiritual development and was far from primitive, which means that the consumption of meat does not make one 'primitive' and vegetarianism is not a necessary sign of spiritual development.There were fish, among which I recognised tuna, mackerel, bonitoes and rays;
there was meat of many varieties as well as an incredible assortment of
vegetables.
finally, p.175, postscript:
Tom's argument was 'Do you know what diseases an animal had before it was killed for meat?'you will make a ‘return to nature’ and you will be the first to do this seriously.
What do you need for your survival? Air, water, bread,
vegetables and meat.
The answer is Yes. How come? because i never *buy* meat. The only meat i consume comes from animals that i either raised myself (naturally) or hunted in the wild. And i am far from excessive in both options, because money means nothing to me. Thus i do not use chemicals on my animals to "sell more", and i never overhunt (or hunt predator type animals which i love and admire), i only take what i need. My knowledge of the wild allows me to know what to hunt and what not to hunt and when, therefore i never cause damage to nature, which would be against my own principles.
Products from animals you raise yourself are much safer than those you buy from shops and much higher in quality, because you know and love the animal, and you have cared for it extensively. Another even better choice is wild animals, which provide the BEST quality, because they are free self sufficient (thus happy and healthy) creatures, unlike domesticated varieties which are usually lazier, less self confident and less physically developed. For example Chukar meat is far better than ANY chicken variety i have ever tasted.
I'd like to point out that while meat is an important part of diet, it should not be overconsumed, in which case it will do more harm than good. The dominant share of a healthy diet goes to water, fruits and vegetables, while meat should be consumed on average about once or twice per week (quantity and frequency of consumption depend on the individual and his or her physical needs)
