A tragic illustration: in 2008 in Washington state, a devout vegan named Jeffrey Calvert, 41, stalked and later murdered his ex-girlfriend in her home before turning the gun on himself, while the woman's terrified 9 and 11 year-old daughters hid in a closet.

Calvert, who had worked as assistant finance manager at a health-food store in Bellingham, was convicted of stalking a previous ex-girlfriend in Seattle in 1995.

@ccm800 B.S. The real reason: 25 years ago I nearly starved myself to death with veganism. Plus, there are many kids starving at the insistence of their misinformed vegan parents.

I've read Gabriel and Bush are vegetarians; I'm not knocking vegetarianism in the traditional sense — simply avoiding meat — which can be healthful if practiced intelligently.

Veganism — avoiding all foods of animal origin — can lead to severe malnutrition and health problems, including mental health problems.

@selatik1 Wow - Calm down! Just because your a carnivore doesn't mean you can bite my head off. Kushi would tell you that you are so aggressive due to all the animal protein. I hope you calm down long enough to enjoy life. BTW many of the musicians you have on your favorites ARE vegetarian - Peter Gabriel - Kate Bush.

@igorsartoni Macrobiotics taught me that it's OK to starve oneself to death, as long as one has written permission. 

[selatik1]

@ccm800 Of course it's my freaking opinion. Just as you and the Kushis have your opinions. I'm not about to bow to half-starved opinion-promoting Kool-Aid drinkers who deny the realities of human nutritional requirements. My further opinion is that macro-psychotics, and its cousin veganism, are starvation regimens perpetuated by traumatized idiots cannibalizing their own brain tissue, and committing criminal acts of neglect on their children. Would thee likest to hear more of mine opinion?

[ccm800]

@selatik1 this is in your opinion - and not necessarily true or agreed upon outside of Anglo wisdom and healing. An open mind is essential to revolutionizing existence

I think it's a good idea to look at what macrobiotic could teach you. Oshawa was actually a bit extreme. But take a look at some Michio kushi paper. They are not as extreme as oshawa. And the increasing number of intollerance to the milk product is not a simple random fact isn it? Integrate some good micorbiotic principles is not make a microbiotic your religion. You have to reason always with your mind!

Some people might be "cured" by a strict macrobiotic diet because of where those people were coming from. These people had likely consumed anything & everyting -- low-quality, toxin laden commercial foods, junk & fried foods, alcohol, tobacco, drugs, medicines, etc. 

Switching from all that to only brown rice should be considered a fast --eating nothing-- for a period of time, which can detoxify your body.

But a fast is only useful if done for a few days or weeks--not months or years!
