Since they have proven that plants "scream" when you rip them from the ground, or cut them off -- I'd rather make one big ol cow scream once every couple of months than have many plants screaming every day.

Seems a lot more humane.

They certainly have some interesting ideas about diet:

Quote:
To be able to fight your cravings for prepared foods succesfully, you need to consume sufficient sugars, clean fat and clean cholesterol. No, this will not make you gain weight; on the contrary.

It is also extremely important that you minimize the uptake of physical addictive chemicals: opioid peptides and beta-carbolines. To do so, you especially need to minimize consumption of wheat- and dairy-products and proteinacous prepared foods.


Oh, Look... a sample menu:

Quote:
2. Breakfast

A big bowl of mixed fruits, or blended fruit-juices:

For the best fruit-combinations (regarding nutritional value), click here

For the ‘milk-shake effect’ in fruit-mixes, add extra banana and some sugar, and blend a little longer. (till it starts looking creamy and ‘foaming’)

Be aware that after 2 or three hours you definitely will be hungry again.


3. To take with you to work

nuts (Raw Brazil nuts, hazelnuts or walnuts; peeled by yourself) and raisins, dried fruits, like dates, figs, prunes and apricots or different fresh fruits ,cut in pieces, packed in Tupperware or even a salad with herbs or dressing

The nuts are essential to make your energy last longer. Fats stabilize blood-sugar level and provide long-term energy. Without the nuts, your energy goes up and down too fast.


4. You can satisfy your first cravings at lunch

By the time you have eaten fruits all morning, you will probably crave for some munch-food at lunch-time, check the list of 'single munch-food recipes', in chapter 54 of our free online book

Of course it is much better to take some raw-fish sushi (or sashimi of course) for lunch. For more info about consuming sashimi / sushi, click here

Or you can take an avocado mixed with fresh raw egg yolk for example. You can also drink blended tomatoes with fresh raw egg yolk and some Tabasco.

But most of you simply need to eat some prepared food at this time, also because you see all those nice foods consumed by people around you. Pick those that contain the least protein, oxysterols and trans fatty acids


5. Some more fruits after lunch

As you have eaten some munch-food, you have to be very careful that you do not eat more of it; once your junkie-receptors are awake, you easily do so. So watch out!

To eliminate these cravings, you have to eat some more fruits, or fresh fruit-juices (as much as you like), and you should not eat anything prepared until diner anymore.


6. Dinner

At dinner you can have your second meal of munch-food, which also should be the last munch-food for that day. After dinner you are only allowed to eat fruits again.

If you cook your own dinner; be sure to use low-protein fresh ingredients only, because they contain the least physical addictive chemicals. in chapter 55 of our book you can find munch food suggestions for dinner.

7. After Dinner

After dinner you should not eat any more prepared food, just fruits, raw nuts etc. It gives your body the time to clean up as much absorbed bad substances as possible.

Make sure not to eat anything within 3 hours after you have consumed raw animal food. So if you want to have sushi for lunch (or raw egg yolks topped over rice or potatoes for example), you should first eat sufficient fruits (or fruit-juices), to make sure your body disposes of sufficient energy to last for at least 3 hours.

Be sure your body disposes of sufficient energy when you are going to bed.

If you cannot sleep, take some butter with raisins for example.


A bowl of butter and raisins at bedtime...I think I'll pass.

If by 'they' you mean Backster (who gave plants lie detector tests to "prove" plants communicate and have 'feelings' ) you should do a quick search to find a schoolgirl's science prize winning paper which shows what complete hogwash this is.

"Raw Brazil nuts, hazelnuts or walnuts; peeled by yourself"

Ever try 'peeling' a Brazil nut or walnut?

You mean the Crustacean Period? When giant shrimps ranged the open plains?
