Five reasons to switch to a mixed vegetable and
grain based diet
1. Reviving
our grain-based diet culture
The nutrition that humans need is abundant in grain and vegetable-based
food groups. Vegetables offer a vast resource in nutrition that helps
us cleanse our body and enhance our body functions. Through the eating
of not overly polished grains with locally seasonal vegetables, our bodies
become more disease resistant.
2. Avoiding a food crisis
For meat production, a lot of grain is consumed by livestock and huge
areas of forest disappear every year. International trends continue to
move away from local traditional diets and towards western style eating
habits augmented through western style fast foods. If these trends continue
the earth ecosystem will continue to be put under pressure by internationally
supported unsustainable practices brought about through cash crops and
other ill-effects of globalization. 'Locally produced food for local consumption,
using local grain strains' offers strong merits as a best fit for local
food production sustainability.
3. Bringing our ecology back to our body
Meat diet was originally for those who didn't have choice and where people
were living in a cold climate where people cannot grow food. Our digestive
system and the kind of internal bacteria we have provide proof that humans
were originally herbivores. Recent analysis reveals that people who live
in temperate and tropical regions eat too much meat in their daily diet,
and that it is detrimental to their body.
4. Protecting our body from environment and food pollution
Domestic livestock absorb many poisons from their environment. The poisons,
in the form of pesticides, fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics and general
pollution, are built-up in the body in high concentrations. Eating vegetables
is the best way to protect our self from those pollution.
5. Nurturing the peaceful mind
Grain and vegetable based diets help the mind and body, through cleaning
the mind and releasing stress.
