Points To Ponder

I already mentioned I love quotes. My friend Jim sent this one out recently, and it really summed it all up.

The food you eat can be either the safest and most powerful form of medicine,

or the slowest form of poison.

Dr. Ann Wigmore, ND

Obviously, Hippocrates said "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food".

And another favorite one on nutrition is "Most people dig their graves with their fork and their spoon".

However, I find this one to be one of the most brilliant and thought-provoking ever . . . . . .

ISN’T MAN AN AMAZING ANIMAL? He kills wildlife by the million in order to protect his domestic animals and their feed. Then he kills domestic animals by the billion and eats them. This in turn kills man by the million, because eating all those animals leads to degenerative and fatal health conditions like heart disease, kidney disease, and cancer. So then man tortures and kills millions more animals to look for cures for these diseases. Elsewhere, millions of other human beings are being killed by hunger and malnutrition because food they could eat is being used to fatten domestic animals. Meanwhile, some people are dying of sad laughter at the absurdity of man, who kills so easily and so violently and, once a year, sends out cards praying for 'Peace on Earth.' David C. Coats

Wow. It almost gives me goosebumps how well it sums up the absurdity of man.
