Hi Krystal. Im not having a go at you in this reply, but I would like to point out your posts contain a lot of disinformed dogma.
* Where does your rice come from? Not Oz i would imagine. How did it it get to you, and at what cost to the environment? Is it really organic? How do you know? Copper Sulphate is incredibly toxic yet the soil association allow it to be be sprayed on grapes. I lived in India many years, i wouldnt believe any organic label from there. Also I had my own organic farm for many years and would watch the sprays from my neighbours float over onto my garden.
* I dont have the link anymore but (all) soya is to be avoided, they wash it in hexane and still call it organic..but there are many other prolems besides..i guess if you are growing your own from guaranteed non GM seeds, but are you?
* How many people died extracting the nasties used in your battery system for your solar energy? What will happen to your dead battery?
* Does your 'solar' system use plastic? molten plastic mimics oestrogen and is very harmful to the planet.
* I shake my head at you lack of awareness of global warming. Mankind's effect on the problem is maybe 0.0000001 %, ok i made up the number, but its in the correct ballpark, warming is not anthropological.
* Everything is alive, even the rocks. Do you really know the difference between eating an animal and eating a plant? Carrots dont have branches, they dont grow back. By the same analogy, if an animal has given birth is that a branch? Is it ok to eat it then?
OK I wont go on..what I am trying to say is try to remove yourself from the dogma and FEEL for yourself what is right and wrong and what you should eat, and how you should live. Its your karma after all, do you want to put that in the hands of others who are misinforming you? And is your way the way of others? Should you be telling others they are right or wrong in their choices?
