Here is some food science to think about. :-)

Those who claim to care about the well-being of human beings and the preservation of our environment should become vegetarians for that reason alone. They would thereby increase the amount of grain available to feed people elsewhere, reduce pollution, save water and energy, and cease contributing to the clearing of forests.

When nonvegetarians say that “human problems come first” I cannot help wondering what exactly it is that they are doing for human beings that compels them to continue to support the wasteful, ruthless exploitation of farm animals.

Vegetarian diets offer a number of nutritional benefits, including lower levels of saturated fat, cholesterol, and animal protein as well as higher levels of carbohydrates, fiber, magnesium, potassium, folate, and antioxidants such as Vitamins C and E and phytochemicals. Vegetarians have been reported to have lower body mass indices than nonvegetarians, as well as lower rates of death from ischemic heart disease; vegetarians also show lower blood cholesterol levels; lower blood pressure; and lower rates of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and prostate and colon cancer.

Wheat grass contains 98 out of the 102 earth elements.

Wheat grass is a complete food.

The nutritional content of 15 lbs of fresh Wheat grass is equivalent to 350 lbs of the choicest vegetables.

The vitality derived from Wheatgrass is remarkable. One teaspoon contains as much nutritional value as more than two pounds of fresh green vegetables in vitamin, mineral and amino acid content.

It is a complete protein containing about 20 amino acids (the building blocks of protein) and about 30 enzymes, which are incredibly important for correct digestion and other bodily processes.

On an empty stomach, Wheatgrass is assimilated into the blood in about twenty minutes and the vitality lasts throughout the day.

So why eat meat?

Wheatgrass is a complete protein and provides the following amino acids:
Absensic -- anti-cancer agent
Alanine -- blood builder
Arginine -- seminal fluid
Aspartic -- acid-energy
Histidine -- hearing and nerve function
Isoleucine -- growth in infants
Leucine -- energy and nerve stimulation
Lysine -- anti-aging
Methionine -- Kidney and liver cleanser
Phenylanine -- thyroid function
Proline -- glutamic acid absorption
Serine -- brain stimulation
Threonine -- digestion and assimilation
Tryptophan -- skin and hair growth
Valine -- brain/muscle coordination

BLOOD BUILDER:

Chlorophyll (as in Wheatgrass ) normalizes high blood pressure by dilating the blood pathways throughout the body and stimulates healthy blood tissue-cell growth. Chlorophyll has the ability to break down poisonous carbon dioxide and release free oxygen. Wheatgrass stimulates metabolism and enzyme systems and the abundance of alkaline minerals helps reduce over- acidity in the blood.

BODY CLEANSING:

Wheatgrass has a long tradition as a cleaner of blood, organs and gastro-intestinal tract. It contains saponin, a detergent factor that can help drain the lymphatic system, carrying away many toxins from the body cells. When an imbalance or injury exists, for example, sore tendons or joints or degenerative diseases, there is a natural buildup of mucous in the lymph particular to that area. This mucous is encapsulated, helping to insure the proper flow of lymphatic fluid. Wheatgrass helps to break down the mucous, allows it to drain and thus relieves pressure and aids healing.

ALLERGIES AND SENSITIVITIES:

Wheatgrass is different to wheat, as one is a green vegetable, the other a grain. The green vegetable grass contains no gluten and is therefore no more allergic than spinach or lettuce. In fact it contains anti-allergic factors. Since allergies are immune responses to toxic irritants, detoxification is crucial to any allergy treatment problem.

We are not in an ice age anymore so why eat meat?
