Watching Ellen put it together like this is important. This conversation came up today between friends, in that we are disconnected with different parts of the world around us. If factory farming were an archaic, simple minded, pointless idea in the time of the new middle ages it would be too soon. A new renaissance to come.
One part we are disconnected with is the food we put into our mouths. We really don't know what things are made of and then we don't know how things are grown to feed us. This part of the eating process is one part that is taking away the quality of our lifes. Its not just with factory farms is with mono-culture foods as well.
Another thing we are disconnected with is the earth. Literally we don't stand on any ground during a day. We are in shoes and are on concrete or linoleum or rugs, but we miss the connection with the ground. This connection is very healing as my friends, wife and I went to have a lecture and running barefoot lesson from barefoot ted today. We don't know how to really walk and run this earth either. This connection with our feet to the ground will be part of us gaining health again.
Many of the injuries that come to my office are because of this disconnectedness. I choose to be a vegan doctor because I become more aware of the foods that I put in my mouth and I really start to feel what it feels like when I am putting food unconsciously into my mouth. I am starting to put my feet on the ground more through the days as well.
Blessings,
