If you haven’t read “The Swine Flu And Worldwide Economic
Recession: Humanity's Salvation?” by Kathy Freston on
HuffingtonPost.com, please visit

This article starts out with the question, “Are we killing
ourselves?” This may seem like a provocative attention-getter, but I
understand the reasoning behind it and I couldn’t agree more.
Kathy Freston tells it the way it is, but also gives positive
suggestions for making necessary changes that can help everyone.
Here are just a few quotes from this excellent article:
“…the meat industry poisons and depletes our clean air, potable
water, and fertile topsoil almost more than any other sector of
business. As just one example, the meat industry is responsible for
about 18 percent of all global warming--that's almost half again as
much as all cars, planes, and trucks combined.”
“And now it's become all too clear that factory farms are
breeding grounds for viruses to mutate and become deadly.”
“Basically, our current food choices (the average American eats
about 200 pounds of meat annually) are killing us on a host of
different levels. Perhaps now more than ever, it's time to clear out
old, tired, uninformed ways of eating and opt instead for food that
nourishes us, is easy on the planet, and gives the animals some
breathing room.”
My husband Frank and I went vegan over twenty years ago (better late
than never, right?), and now that we are in our early seventies, we are
in excellent health.
