I am going to be the pain in the rear end for some of you this morning. Just because something is here on the planet doesn’t mean it was intended for physical consumption. In going over my diet plan and talking to my husband about his eating habits etc this is a topic that has come up a lot lately. And then of course everyone is talking about their new year’s resolutions to lose weight too.
Marijuana is a natural plant resource and we frown upon it’s consumption because the government and advertising say it’s naughty stuff. We go out and buy milk by the gallon because somebody somewhere decided it was good for us even if it’s not and the government and advertising said it was good too, because they would rather us consume milk than marijuana. Okay those were probably extreme examples.
Just because chickens lay eggs doesn’t mean we have to eat them. What if they have a higher purpose that we aren’t aware of yet? What if milk is actually intended for watering a certain kind of flower? Who said cows were supposed to be cut up and eaten? Some guy with a lot of cows did, that’s who. Why on earth would cows and chickens be intended to be mass produced only to be chopped into bits? That doesn’t sound right, does it?
Who decides “supposed to be…” anyhow? If I said right here and right now that gray squirrels are actually supposed to be ground into hamburger, would you go out in your backyard and round up some gray squirrel dinner?? Or if I said that human breast milk was supposed to go into cat food, would you be pumping to feed the hungry cats all around the world?? Cows are pumping to feed the hungry people, so why not? Are you confused yet?
I like what ifs. /goes back to corner for the morning/ That reminds me I haven’t had breakfast yet ….

I love these thoughts! Completely love them!! Because it is so true!!! Especially the way you put it - mass producing living beings only to chop them up! Ugh!!
Pass the peanut butter, please! I told you peanut butter was the ‘juice of life’!
Ahh. I knew when I read the words of others saying …”God put everything on this earth for us to eat…” that it didn’t ring true for me, but I didn’t know exactly why. Thanks for this post - what a great illustration.
Some very interesting thoughts put forward. I can’t get behind the breast milk as cat food ingredient however as mother’s feeding their young is a trait in Mammals so why should that be different for breast milk. I understand that we drink cows milk, just can’t wrap my head around this. But gives me something to think about.
Keep getting kicked off before I can comment.
Let’s try again. I adored this post! I am thrilled that I stumbled onto this page yesterday! I think this is brilliant and funny! As a nursing mom, I laughed my tail off at the catfood comment.
loved this!
i was raised by a scientist who was a bit religious and it made me very open minded and I know to always question
I’m just glad I ate breakfast BEFORE reading the post. Fun.
good stuff…and years ago, when there’s a surplus of milk and the government is trying to use this up to help the dairy farmers, suddenly all kids at school drink milk…
looking back at the causes is frustrating, all while interesting
I think you have some strong points. Just because some person or organization said that it was good for you does not mean that they way it’s supposed to be. I like how you use your examples and even though that they are a little extreme, but I think you have some good points!

Good thoughts, but you are right about so many things. The people of the planet are sheep and they follow everything that they are told or the big bad government is going to get you.
The Marijuana issue hit home for me because I have been doing some research for a Hemp site that I started. This site is not about smoking hemp, but the manufacturing uses for it in the society. For example, did you know hemp can be used to make paper, gasoline, food, clothing, build homes, create concrete, soaps, oils, and more. In fact, there are hemp plant lines that have no THC in it, which is the agent that makes you high when you smoke it.
However, since the big bad government and big business band it, then the production and use disappeared as well. In fact, hemp has been used for thousands of years as a chief crop all around the world to create the very things I mentioned above.
I love people, but they are a mess allowing everyone else to think for them except themselves.
((Stepping down off soap box.))
Thank you for your time.

It’s just an excuse. I’ve read a history of why the marijuana is “forbidden drug” and it all dates back to the tobacco and alcohol companies lobbying the government (to avoid the competition). It just stuck with us but I guess sooner or later it’ll become legal.
