Boycott All Products

I'm am starting a boycott to protest Capitalism and Smash Consumption.

I'm now officially boycotting all products.

 

part of me want sot say congratulations, we all should consume less, but you can purchase some items and not be part of the problem, such as items of Fair Trade, locally grown produce, eco-friendly products such as energy saving lightbulbs, because sometimes you need to eat and see in the dark

 

Nope, not me.

I'm going to grow my own food, hunt my own meat, and squat by candlelight.

 

coool, good luck, however, how will you hunt (please don't hunt- just eat naturally, the meat industry is a big part of capitalism, dont want to sound preachy though), using what instruments, and where do the candles come from, are you making them yourself?
peace and love michael

 

The meat industry is a very corrupt corporation, and a good place to begin boycotting. One step at a time, right? Read Fast Food Nation, or look some stuff up online, very very evil corporation. The biggest cause of rain forest destruction, the second biggest cause of global warming next to automobiles, the biggest cause of soil erosion and I forget where it places on water pollution but it is very up there. Also incredibly cruel, immoral, and greedy. Terrible thing to support. Plus it is so easy now to go veg, it doesnt make sense not to.

 

if everyone did that, where would you get your heroin from???

 

What do you mean by corrupt? You do know that the organic food industry has a symbiotic relationship with the meat industry? In other words every time you buy organic food you are indirectly supporting the meat industy. Even if the food is not labled organic, it could still be dependent on the meat industry. Passionfruit is an example of a crop that chemical fertilizers are useless on.

 

Not all organic food might not be pure food grown with love or by a farmer with good business ethic, but it's definatley a step forward, wouldnt you agree??? But I dont really see the connection between organic farmers and the meat industry? Perhaps they use the poo as composted-fertilizer, but even that would have traces of chemicals in it probably???

Read Fast Food Nation, that is what I mean by corrupt. Any industry tends to be corrupt, you should know that. Pretty much every decision made in the conventional meat industry, from pollution to cruelty to antibiotics+growth hormones to any other decision, can be traced back to pure greed. They are also arguably responsible for world hunger(which I am not 100% against though it is very inhumane+unfortunate, because I believe in overpopulation and that huimans dont belong one every continent in the world), because it takes some 30 pounds of grain to make a pound of beef. 100 gallons of water for a pound of beef, 10 for a pound of grain, edible healthier grain. They are also responsible for a decent amount of rain forest destruction, and many other corrupt acts.

I'll support organic meat, but I still think human evolution points toward raw foodism and organic+ethical meat is rare and not worth the trouble imo. You also might find it interesting that before any agriculture at all, humans were much more healthy and in tune with themselves and the universe I imagine. Truly natural, and lots of variety in their diet. Before this world was as toxic as our minds have become.

Fish is the only animal I could really see humans eating and being okay. But much of it today is saturated with pollution from the waters it came from, and not sustainably fished. PLus, hemp seeds are more efficient sources of complete protein+ the most balanced form of essential fatty acids know to us on Earth, not fish. Its time to evolve..

Please dont defend the conventional meat industry, people need to eat consciously, and not be told to eat meat because its good for them or they might die if they dont. That is anything BUT the truth, and meat is no where near as necesary to the human diet as many people think. And make sure the fish you eat if you eat it, isnt endangered(or polluted if you care about yourself too), because some fish in the market IS. Or if your like me, just avoid it all together and eat your flax+nuts+hemp. The conventional meat industry is wrong on so many levels, and is corrupting all of our minds, but then again, pretty much all food industries are. Have you ever fasted or done a cleanse Bilby?

Another argument I'd make, is kill the animal yourself. Totally natural, and eat it. See if you CAN. Do you ever see a raccoon or rabbit or a cow or a sheep and say, wow I'm hungry... Or do you ever see roadkill on the side of the road and say to your partner, mmm get out the grill!!! Humans just arent meant to be little tasmanian devils, were gentle creatures.

 

Does this include heroin?

 

Well manure is used to a large degree on organic farms. Even on market gardens that do not have organic certification chicken manure is often used. One of the best for members of the onion family. Blood & bone is more or less what it suggests it is. In slaughterhouses all the blood, bones and other bits of dead animal that have no other use are put in a slow oven, baked to the point of being completly dried out and then put through a grinder. Blood & bone is a very useful product to have around the garden.
Blood & bone is also produced in knackeries but from whole animals that died of natural causes. In slaughterhouses bones are also used to make chicken food.
In short to attempt to produce organic fruit and veg in total isolation from the meat industry would be almost impossible. Currently the alternative is to use chemical fertilizers. Maybe corpses could be turned into blood & bone. I have for a long time thought it is absurd to have to pay to die.

I will try to read it one day. I am not sure if it is available downunder.

I would say the margarine/ veg oil companies and chemical companies are much worse.

The reason there is hinger in the third world is poverty not meat eating. Australia could produce more wheat,but the prices are not right to pay for the imputs.

There are far too many people on the planet to revert back to hunter/gathering.

I cannot buy hemp seeds where I live but I would certainly give them a try. I would like to but coconut oil, but I am unable to buy any at the moment. Being a whole food person means including the healthy aspects of a veg*n diet.
EFA's. My info tells me that the EFA's found in nuts and flax seeds are short chain ones that have to be converted by the human body into long chains to be of any use.It is more efficient to consume ready made long chain EFA's from oily fish. I buy Nile Pearch that comes from Africa. It is an introduced pest and of no local use as it cannot be dried. I have done fasting for spiritual reasons but have never taken a salt solution and done a piss out my bum the following day but some woman who I used to work with told me all about it.

I have killed many lobsters, prawns and yabbies in the kitchen. I have killed many slugs and snails in the garden.

 

Yea nature is a bastard.
