Salutations, IBC!

That was a great post, very heart-felt and thoughtful!

It's hard to find peace in a world so full of so many terrible and appalling conditions. If eating a certain way helps, or reminds you to try to help find solutions, i say go for it!

Many Christians fast one day each week to keep those without any food in their thoughts.

The comment about living harmoniously with a carnivore made me think how eskimos live with a basically all-meat diet. Humans are certainly adaptible!

I have spent a lot of time thinking about what a "natural" diet would be, what humans have eaten most of their existence as a species. I think it was mainly raw foods (as we didn't have fire until after the last ice-age), and probably insects as our closest animal relatives eat them. And all vertebrate land animals evolved from fish, fish eat other fish, so seafood is something else our bodies are designed to process.

What I eat while driving is cucumber slices, those little peeled carrots, apples and bananas, trail-mix type stuff.

Again, thanks everyone for all the time and thoughtful effort you have spent here.
