It used to take a year to raise a pig in the countryside. It was not until the Spring Festival that the older ones were killed and ate meat. This is a normal growth process. Killing a pig takes a long time, so we can't eat meat every day.
It's different now. There are 10 million people in China who eat meat every day. This is a big problem. How to solve it? Let pigs grow fast, so we invented a lot of feed. Pigs grow up in two months after eating them. What's in this feed? Just think about it and guess how much pork is left. This is not only a matter for our country, but also for foreign countries. It's global. According to the statistics of foreign scholars, there are more than 2700 kinds of drugs used in livestock at present, including hormones and antibiotics. These drugs ensure that animals can grow up quickly and safely, gain weight and have more meat. But, think about it, we all ate these things in the end.
In addition to livestock, other meats are also like this, such as raising shrimp. Actually, this shrimp is unsafe. We know that shrimps are raised in shrimp ponds now, and the breeders keep sprinkling hormones into them, so that the shrimps will grow very big in two weeks. As I said before, my brother's wife has breast cancer, and I asked her what she likes to eat. As a result, she likes shrimp very much and can eat two plates at a time. There is a lot of estrogen in it. we
Everyone says that sea cucumber is good for health, but now it is also raised. In order to remove the aquatic plants in the pool, it is necessary to spray drugs into it. Don't sea cucumbers absorb these drugs? There are crabs and hairy crabs, which used to be yellow in autumn. Later, I found that it is yellow at any time now. My mother once bought crabs and said they were yellow. I suddenly realized, how can this season be yellow? I must have used hormones. Later, when I asked if it was true, I resolutely refused to let my mother buy it again. So someone said: the first person who ate crabs was not brave, and now the person who dares to eat crabs is really brave!
My friend keeps asking, how did your child grow up so early? Estrogen in milk and dairy products!
What can hormones cause? In the past, the United States advocated estrogen supplementation and oral administration for menopausal women, but later it stopped doing so. Why? This practice stopped, because it was found that the tumor prevalence rate was rising. There was originally a study related to estrogen supplementation.
Cooked meat is even more confusing. Usually in cook the meat, tender meat powder, such as roast beef, is added. Now we will find that these beef are getting tender and tender. How can beef that you couldn't bite before become instant in your mouth? A restaurant owner said: since I opened a restaurant, I dare not eat roast beef skewers. Because these meats are made of tender meat powder, do you think that if you can corrode beef like this and eat it in your stomach, won't your stomach be corroded? The boss is right. Tenderloin powder contains some substances that dissolve the protein fiber of meat. These substances also play a role in the human digestive tract. Our stomachs are corroded by it all day, and the consequences can be imagined.
Also, some meat will turn very red after processing. Why? This is because a lot of nitrite is added to it, which can make the meat turn red. Its specific function is to keep the meat from rotting, and it can be sold for several days, but this nitrite can be converted into nitrosamines, which can cause cancer.
Generally, when making sausages, the country has standards for adding nitrite, but if small traders cook them themselves, there is no standard. In order to keep it for a few more days, they dare to add more. I often look at the cauldron selling cooked food, and the meat is red, thinking, God, how much nitrite is put in it.
If you think too much about these problems, you will feel that the meat now is actually different from the previous meat, and there are too many things artificially added. Although the output of meat is so large that we can afford it, the price is also high, and there are great risks involved.
I think this is a dilemma for the government. On the one hand, people want to eat meat, and the whole country wants to eat meat. If we keep a pig every year, everyone will shout. Why can't you eat meat? But if you eat like this now, there will be many problems in the future and the incidence of malignant tumors will increase. This is something that the government cannot say. Will the government call on everyone not to eat meat? So, be sober and eat less meat to protect yourself.
Although vegetables have problems such as pesticides, they are much less than meat. General pesticides will lose their medicinal properties over time, and many vegetables are very cheap, so it is not worth putting too much pesticides, so Chinese cabbage, radish and so on are safer.
Vegetarianism has another consideration, protecting our living environment.
Here are some quoted materials, you can have a look:
The consumption of meat has doubled in ten years, from 1988 to 1998, reaching 46 kilograms per capita. From 65438 to 0998, China's meat consumption level was nearly twice that of developing countries. From the perspective of ecology and sustainable development, this is a disaster for China with a population of 654.38+0.2 billion.
The increase in meat consumption has greatly increased the demand for food. This has brought great pressure to the already poor land resources. Although we are proud that China feeds 22% of the world's population with less than 8% of the world's arable land, we should not forget the cost of land resources.
In order to increase yield, a large number of chemical fertilizers are applied and abused, which leads to the destruction of soil structure and more serious soil erosion. In recent years, this has caused a reduction in production and losses. In the long run, the extensive use of chemical fertilizers has caused incalculable damage to the ecological environment. (According to statistics of 1995, China's fertilizer consumption per hectare is 26 1 kg, ranking first in the world).
The surge in demand for meat and dairy products leads to overgrazing of grassland, which leads to grassland desertification. So there is a chain reaction, livestock must be fed with food, which greatly increases the demand for food. In 1990, forage grains account for 20% of the total grains (only 8% in1970), and nearly 40% in 1999.
According to statistics, for every citizen in China to increase 1 kg pork a year, it needs to increase 2.5 million tons of grain. In other words, even if the eating habits of 654,380+0.2 billion people change slightly, it will have a great impact. If China and India consume protein (livestock, beef, farmed fish), and the current level of the United States needs food, then the world grain output must be five times that of now.
Overgrazing in China has caused land degradation of 654.38+0.3 billion mu, and at the same time destroyed the function of water conservation, resulting in serious ecological imbalance in the basin. Due to overgrazing in the Xinghe River, the downstream Ejina Desert Oasis will become a barren land in 30 years and merge into the vast desert. 1.5 million herdsmen will become "ecological refugees" and migrate again, and hundreds of miles of defense lines will lose the only oasis support point. Nevertheless, stimulated by the increasing demand for meat food, the number of livestock raised on these grasslands is still increasing year by year.
These explanations are very powerful, because in order to eat meat, we will feed food to animals, which we have to pay a high price to grow in China. Because our country has limited resources, friends who rinse mutton all day should be temperate.
Meat, dairy products and milk will bring bad luck and negative energy.
Everyone knows that ingratitude is difficult. Meat is full of animal pain. Don't complain about where your illness comes from, and don't complain about bad luck. Eating such food is like ingratitude. We don't feel good, and our conscious energy becomes very low. Eating meat cannot avoid the feeling of pain. Even if we try to ignore it, it will still hurt us in some form, such as illness, trouble, mental exhaustion or mental unhealthy.
Nowadays, cows can't freely carry cowherd and walk and eat grass in the wild; Chickens are not frolicking in the yard. They have suffered all their lives and grew up in livestock farms (the current milk production process). Now, for the sake of profit and industrialization, the methods adopted by livestock farms are cruel and inhuman. We used to think that the most terrible thing in an animal's life was being slaughtered, but now, its life is painful. Like a incurable terminal cancer patient, he died painfully. People can choose euthanasia or use anesthetics to relieve their pain, and these animals have no choice but to die painfully!
Looking at foreign vegetarian information, I see some different angles. There is an Australian document, which records the life of chickens in great detail. Finally, it proves what kind of animals chickens are, they feel at home, they have their own personality characteristics, they are living life, they live in natural life like us, so it is cruel to eat chickens. Then I observed the life of the cow and made a rigorous record. As a result, I found that cows also have feelings, and cows also feel at home. They are so cute, just like our brothers. Do you still eat him?
This kind of work is very detailed, just like scientific research records. The result is that we eat meat and feel like we are eating our partner. Later, I really saw the meat on the table and had a lot of associations, which caused psychological obstacles to eating meat.
So, will vegetarianism affect our intelligence and physical strength?
Not really. On the contrary, some people who have made great achievements in this world are vegetarians, from Socrates, Plato, Pythagoras, to Leonardo da Vinci, Dante, Shakespeare in the Renaissance, to Shelley, Bernard Shaw, Voltaire, Rousseau, Tolstoy and many other modern celebrities. Their intelligence level is not comparable to that of ordinary people, such as Leonardo da Vinci, who is almost a genius. Einstein, a great scientist, later became a vegetarian. From a physical point of view, Lewis, the world's most famous track and field genius, is a vegetarian. He thinks that vegetarianism will help him improve his grades. In the field of literature and art, Madonna, Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Tan Yaowen and Jet Li.
Everyone chooses to be a vegetarian in stages and tries to persuade others to live like this, but Mai is absolutely a vegetarian because she is a Buddhist.
Among the Buddhist monks and great virtues of past dynasties, there are many great wise people, such as Master Xuanzang, who are great in wisdom and are familiar with Sanskrit. He can discuss the scriptures in Sanskrit in India, beating the local foreign teachers and making people admire him. He has translated countless Buddhist scriptures, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people. This shows that vegetarianism does not damage people's intelligence, but can make people think clearly.
You know, most of us are overnourished now, and there are many diseases with excessive metabolism.
The longest-lived area in the world is Bama, Guangxi, China, where people eat very little meat and can only kill pigs once a year during the Chinese New Year. However, the rate of centenarians is the highest in the world. I estimate that if you have a physical examination, according to our current standards, the indicators will also show malnutrition. The key is, what is the standard of this "malnutrition"?
Of course, I don't really like the word vegetarian. Everything has become a doctrine, so it is meaningless. I advocate natural methods. I am basically a vegetarian, but I will never give myself a death order. I'm not saying that we should stop eating meat right away and be absolutely vegetarian. Everyone knows that meat is not delicious now. If there is a problem, we can. We should eat as little meat as possible, which is good for ourselves.
