Why Eat PLANTS?🌿 . . .
In the Beginning, there were PLANTS
GENESIS 1:29 (NIV)
In the Bible, the first mention of Food on Earth is found in the Book of Genesis, specifically in the context of the Garden of Eden. According to Genesis 1:29, GOD provided Plants and Fruits as Food for Humans.
"Then GOD said, 'I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food."
This highlights that the Human Diet was meant to be Plant Based, consisting of Fruits, Vegetables, Seeds and Grains.
This also aligns with the idea that the Earliest Nourishment for Humans, according to the Biblical Text, came directly from the PLANT KINGDOM.
This passage also indicates that the First Food Provided to Humans was Seed-Bearing Plants and Fruit from Trees.
NOTE: Seeds in Plants are for Reproduction of that particular Plant.
Always buy Fruits and Vegetables with Seeds, as they are full of LIFE-FORCE and we can Plant those Seeds to Produce more of the same kind of Fruit or Vegetable.
Seeds passed down through Generations are called 'Heirloom Seeds", and are most likely Organic Seeds.
Do not plant GMO-Seeds for reproduction, as they are Toxic and Full of Chemicals.
First PLANTS in the Bible
🐌The First Plant Eaters
The First Animals on Our Planet were (and some still are), Simple Creatures living in the Oceans over 500 Million Years ago.
Many of these Early Animals consumed Tiny PLANT Particles and Algae (a SuperFUEL).
The earliest known Animals were Plant-Eaters:
Brachiopods: (Lamp Shell) Are Marine Animals that filter Nutrients from the Water, including Plant Particles and Algae.
Gastropods: (Slugs or Snails) Graze on Plant material in Water Environments.
Trilobites: (Now Extinct) These ancient Arthropods roamed the Seas, Feeding on Algae and other small PLANT Particles
Over time, Animals Evolved to Graze on Larger PLANTS on Land . . .
PLANT-Eating Animals
Many of Our Planet's Mammals (Marine and Land), Reptiles, Insects, Birds, Fish, and Invertebrate, Consume PLANTS.
The Largest and Strongest Animal on our Planet, the African Elephant, Consumes only PLANTS, and can reach up to 15,000 pounds!
This Blows the Theory we need Meat to Get Large, Grow Muscles, and be Strong!
Check out the Documentary Film "GAME CHANGERS" where James Wilks Discovers how Top Athletes that Consume only PLANTS, and Excel in Strength, Endurance and Speed.
How HUMANS are Similar to PLANT-Eating HERBivores
Human Biology shares Several Similarities with the Biology of PLANT Eating Animals called HERBivores, such as, Digestion, Anatomy and Metabolism.
#1. Digestive System
Both Humans and Herbivores have Long Digestive Tracts compared to Carnivores.
The Average Human Digestive Tract is 30 Feet Long, which is the length of a Telephone Pole, or School Bus, or a Cargo Container, or a 3-Storey Building!
The Average African Elephant's Digestive Tract is 100 Feet Long, which is the length of a Basket Ball Court!
This Length, allows more Time for the Digestion (Break down of Fibrous Content), the and Absorption of Nutrients from PLANTS.
Humans and Herbivores both rely on a Diverse Gut Microbiome to help Break Down Complex Carbohydrates, such as Cellulose, found in PLANT Cell Walls.
These MicroOrganisms Ferment PLANT Fibers, Aiding in the Digestive Process. Check out our BLOG on Digestive Health.
#2 - Teeth and Jaw Structure
Both Humans and Herbivores have Flat, Broad Molars Designed for Grinding PLANT Material, as seen in the picture above.
These Molars help Break Down Tough PLANT Fibers, making them Easier to Digest.
Herbivores and Humans Both Grind their FUEL in a Side-to-Side Jaw Movement,
Carnivores, on the other hand, have sharp, chisel-like incisors and Fang-Like back Teeth for Gripping, Cutting, Tearing and Shearing Flesh into Chunks to 'Wolf' down, as they can only move their Jaws Up and Down.
#3 Nutritional Needs
Humans and Herbivores both Primarily get their Energy from Carbohydrates found in PLANTS, such as Starches, Sugars and Fibers.
We both Require a Variety of Vitamins and Minerals, and Essential Fatty Acids that are found Abundantly in PLANT FOOD.
And Both get all of their 20 Amino Acids from PLANTS. Check out our Blog on PLANTS have Protein.
Why HUMANS should EAT PLANTS
#1 Health
Consuming Meat and Dairy has been Linked to an Increase of Risk of Chronic Diseases like Heart Disease, Cancer, Diabetes and Hypertension. Saturated Fats and Cholesterol found in these Products can Contribute to the Development of Cardiovascular issues.
Cow Milk is for Calves to grow up to 2,000 lbs. This may be the reason why Humans are Lactose Intolerant, meaning they Lack the Enzyme Lactase needed to properly Digest Lactose. This often Leads to Bloating, Gas, Diarrhea and Digestive Issues.
Diets High in Animal Products and Animals By-Products, can Promote Inflammation, which is a Precursor to Chronic Illnesses.
#2 Environment
The Production of Meat and Dairy requires Significant Resources, including Land, Water and Feed. This Contributes to DeForestation, Water Scarcity, and Loss of BioDiversity.
Livestock Farming is a Major Source of GreenHouse Gases like Methane and Carbon Dioxide, which Contribute to Global Warming and Climate Change. Check out our Blog on Earth Day.
#3 Ethical
This is the NUMBER ONE REASON why VeRAWonica Stopped Consuming Animals, their Babies, and their By-Products.
Industrial Farming Practices often involve CRUEL and IN-HUMANe Treatment of Animals, including Confinement, Physical Alterations without Pain Relief, and Stressful Living Conditions.
Many People, Ourselves included, and especially VeRAWonica, finds it Morally WRONG to KILL Animals and their Babies for Food, especially given the Availability of PLANT Based Alternatives that can Provide Adequate Nutrition without Harming Animals.
#4 Nutrition
PLANTS Provide all 20 Amino Acids which are the Building Blocks for Protein.
PLANTS also Provide a Variety of Necessary Nutrients such as Vitamins, Minerals, Fiber, AntiOxidants, Enzymes, PhyoNutrients, without the Need for Meat.
#5 Overall Benefits
Populations that Consume Primarily PLANT Based FUELstyles, such as those in the Blue Zones, tend to Live Longer and how Lower Rates of Chronic Diseases.
PLANT Based FULEstyles are Low in Calories and High in Fiber, which Helps Balance a Healthy Weight.
Juicing PLANTS can Contribute to Weight Loss. Check out our Blog on Juicing.
