 Humans use gods 

to expiate their barbarities.

More and more research is showing that you are what you eat. Something that some ancient folks have already known all along.

It is just that in the West, XXI century man is terribly in loved - sometimes mad - with the "scientific method" (SM). And if something is not under this umbrella it is not worth jack. 

This kind of seeing the world tuned to the music of  scientific method is OK, of course.  We all know that is needed in many aspects.

But in others, this method sucks, if not evil.

When it sucks, it means in too many cases torturing animals such as sticking probes and needles in the asses or bellies of mice, rats, dogs, cats, chimpanzees and what have you to find out what makes them tick and sick when used in cruel experimentation (Video 1) and so forth.

 Video 1. Undercover at the world´s largest chimpanzee laboratory.

Ancient traditional medical wisdom (e.g., Ayurvedic science) (Video 2) is still seen as plain nonsense or not worth considering in a some scientific circles.

 Video 2. Ayurveda: The science of life.

Some it is nonsense, like the medicinal use of elephant ivory in China, for example. There is no scientific basis for it.

And it is not only that but also is embedded as part of a serious environmental problem. The illegal trafficking elephant tusks, for exmple, has brought these wonderful pachyderms to the brink of extinction.

But other is definitely not. Therefore, traditional medical wisdom should not be discarded as useless at all.

Some scientists sponsored by big pharmaceutical companies are certanly open to explore this world.

Why do you think there are now many botanists, ethnobotanists and pharmacologists becoming pupils of South American shamans deep in the Amazon jungle?

Go and ask Dr. Mark J. Plotkin (1993) what he thinks. He will tell you that a great deal of modern medicine discoveries are achieved by checking what is on the other side of the fence: In this case the side of the Amazon jungle shamans.

Anyway, what you see is not what you see but what you see is what you see as you were told to see it. 

This is the case with human behaviour, especially when it comes to food habits.

There are dualities in this world.



Man´s gruesome dualities: India´s trafficked cows 

There are many gruesome dualities in this world. One of them is the duality of animal slaughtering, which all of the people who eat meat thrive upon, and people´s "spirituality" (if any) around the planet.

Historically and mythological, most people on Earth have idolised and still idolise blood-thirsty demigods or demons, some of which may or may not be disguised (conveniently or not) as all-loving and mighty aethereal creatures.   

So, praying to these freaky "gods" and then slaughtering animals do not mix even though people mix them when they want to mix what they should not mix with what they cannot mix when they do not mix because they want to mix them where they do not mix but they mix what cannot be mixed even though is mixed when it is not mixed.

This bloody dual mixing is not at all surprising since people - Homo insapiens, an ape yet to achieve the true sapiens (sensu stricto) threshold, not Linnaeus´ sensus - basically function like programmed robots. Biological robots, that is. 

And, with few exceptions, they are! 

Take the food habit programming or software, for instance.

People do not eat what they think they want to eat when they want to eat it but they eat what they were programmed to eat. Enhanced by memories, of course.

Since childhood and through the growing years, people are programmed at home, school and society just like machines (computers). In this case, like biological machines.

They are programmed in many aspects of their lives: what to eat, when to eat, what to wear, how to behave, what to read, how to fuck, where to go to, what to shop for, what gods to pray to, etc., etc.

And one of people´s most cherished programmes is the food habits software.

If you push the button of questioning the food habits programming of these biological robots (humans), the software they do not want you or anyone to ever touch, they will go crazy. 

They will take a defensive stand or posture. They will tell you to fuck off. 

When over-programmed (maniac) along this line, these biological robots will curse you and even attack you.

In some extreme cases, when the biological robots/humans were screwed up during the early years of their programming, they might even twist and wring your neck like a chicken. 

In other words, they may kill you for having questioned their food habits software!

After all, food habits are sacred programmes for these biological robots/humans. 

Take for example the meat eating habit.

Meat-devouring biological robots (i.e., human carnivores) invent and have invented myriads of excuses and piles of hypotheses upon hypotheses and theories upon theories supported and sponsored by a global meat mafia, the powerful meat industry & Inc. (i.e., e global elite and its hived scientists and physicians, most of whom have never take a nutrition course in their lives and/or do not keep abreast with the havoc this bloody habit is causing in human populations; they do not tell you the truth for fear of losing their jobs) in order to maintain this programmed profiteering bloody habit (e.g., in 2009, meat and poultry industry sales totalled $154.8 billion in the USA) which cannot be maintained forever in a planet of finite resources.  

In a world with an explosion of the numbers of biological robots/humans - 7.000.000.000 of them (they´ve been busy fucking!) and still growing - considering that most of them want to eat meat, then there will not be any hope for the human species. 

Mon Capitaine, are these crazy people planning on raising cows in Mars?

Oui, oui... mon ami!

These biological robots/humans do and will do anything and everything to hang on to their meat eating software at the expense of fucking up their nest (Video 3), mon Capitaine!

Oui, mon ami!

Video 3. Deforestation: Soybean, palm oil and Eucalyptus.

Now, considering the state of the planet at the present time, only environmetally irresponsible meat-loving biological robots/humans can still wonder about what to wonder about when there is no more time to wonder about when they wonder about what they enjoy wondering about what they should not be wondered about any longer in a anthropogenically screwed up world. A world where Mother Nature´s wonder is the absolute owner and master of all in the end.

Where is the change in diet?

No change in sight, mon Capitaine!

C´est effrayant, mon ami!

Mon Capitaine, we´re fucked!

Oui, mon ami!


India: A pain in the cattle

India is a pain in the cattle. Why? It is a place where thousands of cows are subjected to a lot of suffering and a cruel death.


It comes to most people´s surprise to find out that cow-loving India is amongst the top 10 beef producing countries in the whole world (Fig. 1).

This means a lot of cow killing in the slaughterhouses, legally or illegally. 

Fuck!

On the one hand, cows are sacred but on the other hand cows are sent to hell.

Some people in India and neighbouring countries love cows. Humans do not mean any harm to these noble animals. Their lives depend on the lives of these animals.

Other India´s people "love" them too. Yeah! 

But they love cows in a different way. They are meat lovers and meat traffickers and/or meat mafiosi.

These meat lovers and/or meat traffickers love to see cows in the cooking pot, nationally or transnationally.

Unfortunately, many a times, if not done out of crokedness, poverty puts a lot of pressure on some people and pushes them to this trafficking limit in India, a country where surprisingly there are many billionaires that could do more for their countrymen than just sucking their blood.

In this mafia world, to get these sentient animals to the cooking pot, cows are put through a living hell.  

That is sad.

One coin, two faces. 

One gruesome duality.

Let us see a good example of man´s gruesome dualities: Cow trafficking in India and Bangladesh (Video 3):

In India, cows are sacred and venerated. Yet millions cross the border illegally, destined for the abattoir in neighbouring Bangladesh. In a country with insufficient cattle to feed its population, Indian cows are big business. France 24 takes you behind the scenes of the trafficking the Indian authorities are striving to contain, so far without success.[France 24]

Fuck!


See you later alligators!
