YUMIKO'S FOUR REASONS TO SWITCH TO A GRAIN-BASED VEGETARIAN DIET.

1. EFFICIENCY. If everyone on Earth were to partake a meat-based diet, the natural environment would be destroyed almost instantly. There is simply no space to produce enough animals to feed the Earth's increasing population with daily meat consumption.

2. BODY COMPOSITION. Meat-eating originated to enable people to live in very cold areas of the world, uninhabitable without meat consumption. It was an emergency survival mechanism. Yet our human digestive systems and intestinal micro-flora show without a doubt that we were originally grain-eaters. Especially for people living in semi-tropical or hot climates, regular consumption of large quantities of meat equals toxic contamination and shortened lifespan as the heavy flesh meals putrefy and rot in our digestive tracts.

3. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION. Since animals stand at the top of the food chain, they take in large quantities of pollutants through everything they eat. By the time a plate of steak and eggs reaches our mouth, the hormones and chemicals are concentrated more than a million times. If environmental pollution continues at the present rate, fish, meat, and eggs will eventually lose their status as foods safe to eat. On the other hand, vegetables produced in similarly polluted environments retain far less chemicals and are hundreds of times safer to ingest.

4. SPIRITUAL POWER. The time has arrived for us to change from a material to a spiritual culture. A grain-based vegetarian diet opens our eyes to peace, spirituality, and a female-oriented sensitivity, giving priority to the Life elements. Vegetarianism can also minimize stress, open communication, and reduce dependence on excess materialism, money, and greed.
