Eating For Peace

[jonzen]

Last night on New Dimensions, ( newdimensions.org) a radio program with an often enlightening and inspiring nature, Will Tuttle spoke about Veganism and it's origins. It was great!

 

Program Description:

 

As Gandhi observed, our fork can be a weapon of violence. Will Tuttle, pianist, composer and teacher, embraces this simple truth by keeping violence off his plate and adopting a vegan way of being in the world. He expresses the heart and soul of the animal liberation and compassionate living movement with insights that prove how inextricably linked is the suffering of animals with the war, violence and terrorism we currently face on earth when he says,"If we cause war against animals we will cause war against ourselves." From mythology, religion, and human systems, Tuttle offers a set of universal principles for all people of conscience to show how we as a species can move our consciousness forward - allowing us to become more free, more intelligent, more loving, and happier in the choices we make.

 

He has written a book called "THE WORLD PEACE DIET".

 

Has anyone here read it? If so, please tell me what you think. I'm going to get a copy soon.

No, but I think it's a truly peaceful statement to be a vegan (provided you think about your food & where it comes from, which is why I think young children can be excluded from what I'm talking about).

I own World Peace Diet, but haven't read it yet. I'm waiting to read it until our first month in London when we will have no TV and no library cards. But I'm really looking forward to it. Let me know what you think!
