If You Havent Been Eating A Vegetarian Diet For Years, And Want To Make The Shift, Its Best To Do So Gradually, In Stages. A Good Way To Start Is To Eliminate Red Meat And Substitute Fish Or Poultry For The Red Meat Youve Been Eating. While Its Not Eating More Vegetarian, Youre At Least Eliminating The Biggest Offender In Disease-enhancing Foods, Red Meat. After Youve Successfully Eliminated Red Meat, Then Start Reducing The Amount Of Poultry You Eat. While Its Not As Bad For You As Red Meat, Because Its Not As High In Fat, Its Still Meat Thats Been Raised On A Farm In Terrible, Cramped And Inhumane Conditions. Poultry Is So Laden With Growth Hormones And Antibiotics Thats Its Nothing Like A Chicken Or Turkey That We Might Have Hunted For Food Centuries Ago. Chickens Are Raised In Horrible Conditions, Overfed And Then Slaughtered. In The Grand Scheme Of Things, Its Just As Detrimental To Our Physical And Spiritual Health As Eating Red Meat. Its Also Fairly Easy To Eliminate Poultry From Our Diets Because Lets Face It Its Like Eating Wood Pulp, Its So Tasteless. All The Antibiotics And Abnormal Living Conditions Have Processed Any Natural Flavor That Poultry Ever Had In The First Place.Add More Fish And Seafood, If Youre Not Quite Ready To Replace Poultry With Grains And Vegetables And Legumes Yet. While There Is Risk In Eating Fish And Seafood, Because Of The High Levels Of Mercury They Contain, Its A Better Alternative To Poultry And Red Meat. This May Be As Far As You Ever Get In Moving Towards Vegetarianism, Or At Least Eliminating Meat From Your Diet. Give Yourself Time To Get Used To This. You Wont Miss Poultry For A Minute. We Usually Eat Chicken And Chicken Breasts Because Its Lower In Fat And Calories, But Its Also Lower In Any Kind Of Nutritional Value. When Were Not Getting Essential Proteins And Vitamins, Were Still Starving Our Bodies, Regardless Of How Healthy We Think Were Being. Eliminating Poultry Is One Of The Most Positive Steps You Can Take Towards A Healthy Diet And A Healthy Planet.
