Let's Talk Protein!

If you want to make the world a better place, start with you. Let's talk protein. To get right to the point, I would like for you to stop referring to protein as a food group. If you hear someone say I need my protein, I need you to jump in to make corrections. Let's do some reverse thinking here.
1. If we agree we need proteins, we accept these proteins must come from animals.
2. If we know proteins come from animals, we must agree to eat animals.
3. If we agree to eat animals, we must accept that they are slaughtered for us.
So, how do we cope and live with ourselves if we are a society based on animal slaughter? We have sense. We know ducks and cows and fish and chickens have the same feelings as horses and pigs and bears and cats and dogs and turtles. If we KNOW these are animals with families who want to be loved and give love just like the cat snuggled in your lap, what makes it easier for you to BBQ ribs or fry chicken or sear a nice piece of salmon??? Calling it protein. That's what makes it easier. Taking the "humanity", if you will, away from those animals and reducing them to a dietary requirement. So, you laugh and fellowship and eat animals with others like you all in the name of protein.

Protein!!!! The great big myth. You see, you don't know anyone who is protein deficient. You don't. Not if you're living in America, you don't. You can't name one person in your ancestry who's died of a protein deficiency.

This is willful ignorance. If you open your eyes to the truth, you have a choice to make: continue to participate in the slaughter of animals for absolutely NO logical reason (because we can thrive without eating them) or walk away from animal abuse forever. There is no middle line, people.

This is why you shun vegans - we make you THINK and that irritates the hell out of you - because you don't want to THINK, nor do you want to be labeled as a murderer. Get over it - that's what all vegans think about you. We may smile and nod and act politely, but when we see pictures of your meat and see you eating meat we ARE judging you for the murderer you are. Sounds harsh, but it's true.

You have to know meat doesn't just magically appear wrapped in cellophane in your grocery store - you KNOW murder took place. I say murder because those animals wanted to be loved just like you want to be loved and your children want to be loved and the animals in your home you've chosen to love. (Even the word meat is a cover up - its origin is mete - pronounced meh-teh - which was a reference to food in general)

Those animals wanted to be cuddled. Just like your dogs and your cats - but your WILLFUL ignorance, your BLIND EYE (just look away) - in the name of PROTEIN - causes you to turn your head to the violence and pretend these animals aren't "people" too just so you can have a good juicy steak or turkey sandwich. C'mon, people.

Protein is in fruit; protein is in veggies; protein is in grains. I'm delivering this truth in your lap. Oh and dairy? Calcium is in veggies - wake up. Sigh.

If you don't like the label vegan, don't use it. Whatever you decide, do it with pride - just don't hide behind "protein" - it's animal slaughter - that's what it is . . . choosemyplate.gov - wow! Your government is purporting this myth - shoveling sh*t right on your plate - right in your face. Aren't you insulted? Your intelligence should be insulted looking at this dietary plate.

See it there: PROTEIN. Has its own category - ha! When each of the other three sections are all proteins as well. But no, they have to say "protein" because if they say ANIMALS. . . you might wake up. But "protein" keeps you numb. "Protein" keeps you walking in willful ignorance. "Protein" keeps you looking the other way.
If you eat animals, say that. Say, I'm going to eat eggs and toast. Don't say I need my protein for breakfast. If you're going to have baked chicken for dinner, say that. Don't say, I need my protein for dinner. I don't want to hear you say protein another day of your life. You know damn well protein is in everything. . . wake up. The light is calling you. You can't hide much longer.
