Burger-crazy America imports over 200 million pounds of beef from Central America every year. Grazing land is needed, and the only way for grazing land to appear in a densely forested region is from clear-cutting the rainforest.

What would happen if forests where being cut down to grow vegies? Would they get a pass, or hate?

Most amazing, the dog can bark, but the horse can save our life, the other most amazing can be killing our own pets and the trees and plants that we sow. What can we say about a horse you see it can feel if the rider is having a trouble ahead and thus warns. We adopt kids, but what about adopting the entire natural world. For example, it appears that US has declared the most loyal animal, which is also royal the terrorist and putting it to exile for slaughter. The animals can be put to other works as in the coaches and games-the planers know it better than the marketers, who simply want to turn every source and resource of life into money. Now, the officials and the people can use the protests against the suffering of the animals, but slaughtering is something totally different and need attention. You see it is global suffering.

How the slaughtering of the horse and other animals suffering affects us, we may take it as a discussion. You see the pollutants are present in the entire environment. The soil, water, fire, air and space have it. Some people believe and find that there are four basic constituents of formation of life. They usually ignore space believing that the space is an empty space. The concept of ether is for the waves and vibrations present in it. The ultraviolet and cosmic rays are present in the space. However, it is not the matter that needs our attention.

While, on the entire Internet and the websites, we have noticed that pollution has been ignored and most of us are blaming some people about CO2. We need to develop the ideas and the concepts about the pollutants. The water is pure, but we have to remove the pollutants. The causes of the pollutants are not simply the industrialists. Even we the humans and the entire natural world in suffering release the alpha rays, which harm the space around the planet. This space pollution is not a cloud of pollutants that the developed or the rich countries may send to the developing or the poor countries. When we talk about peace, we have to have it by our selves. Now, the suffering that we are going through due to any stress, anxiety, depression, frustration and other physical and mental diseases is harming the waves in the space by the alpha rays. Should we delete the people, who suffering from the diseases and thus they may harm others?

No, we do not have to. We need to develop the philosophical concept so that we are not conditioned as if an animal. This is the concept of pollution free thoughts. We talk about the Go Green and Let Go theories, but when we come down to the ground, that is, in the practical life we again become psychological and there is mostly no room for any philosophy.

We are afraid of poverty so Law of Attraction is there to heal us, but it does not remove the thought pollution, the pollutants that allow the releasing of alpha rays. We can access to beta rays and rarely experience the theta rays. We know that we have insomnia present all around the world and it is not just because of the CO2. This is because of the thought pollution. Please, wait a minute, we may not be having any thought pollution, but suffer as if a passive smokers. It is same with slaughter and suffering of the animals, like horses, cows and so on, and the birds, what to say even the plants connected with computer can give the signals of suffering when thirsty or otherwise. Kindly take such issues seriously. Thanks!

It is very easy to make a home made burger and so much better in every way. Americans and other people who eat all these burgers can just stop it is easyvote with their feet and say NO to burgers mass produced with god knows what.

Harmander, what is all this esoteric fluff from a person living in a country that doesn't even have basic sanitation or sewage treatment yet. I think the problems in India are out of control population growth and a general disregard for the natural world and the value of human life. Many problems to fix - thought pollution not really a big problem compared to the rest of the destruction that India is bringing to the table.

Plus many of the "sacred cows" in India end up in the slaughter and leather factories anyway. Just because its out of sight fo most people doesn't mean its not happening. Put some effort into cleaning up your own backyard yards.

Chris, Obviously some people in India have sanitation and sewage--it does have its elite, after all--just as there are a few people in North America who do not.

It's rather jarring to hear someone from North America complain about environmental degradation of a developing country (although India's economic growth rate as been increasing at about 7-8% for several years), when the average North American uses 30 times the resources that an average Indian.

Now, I ask a basic question: Who can the world most afford to support? Someone living in North America or someone in India? The corollary question is, then, Who is overpopulated? North America, where someone uses, on average, 30 times more resources and thus their environmental footprint is huge? Or, an Indian, who uses, on average, 30 times less?

I grant you that Indian population growth is startling high and most say that it is overpopulated (I have traveled there four times, and can say that it is uncomfortably crowded for my sensibilities). But, the real measure is the amount of resource use per capita. Is it not?

I do not have time to write much now, but the concept of the Hamburger Connection, perhaps first developed by Norman Myers, in the early 1980s, shows (as have subsequent studies) that the export of beef to affluent countries is linked to increasing forest loss in less-develped countries, particularly Central America and Amazonia. It's a matter of externalizing our consumption-based environmental costs to less-developed countries, causing, in particular, the conversion of tropical forest to pasture.

Know that when you eat beef, an unknown percentage of it has caused the destruction of some area of tropical forests--the Hambuger Connection.

"Know that when you eat beef, an unknown percentage of it has caused the destruction of some area of tropical forests--the Hambuger Connection."

Not true. none of the Beef i buy comes from more than 50 miles from my house. This option is true for many, many people.

The "meat" you are referring to is fast-food burgers. It is not accurate to say all beef comes from the amazon. In fact, much of that beef (up to 2/3rds for mcdonalds burgers) is entirely soy-based (also grown in the amazon). It does a disservice to your cause to make such broad generalizations that dont have much connection to fact.

There are plenty of viable options out there for people to buy locally produced, sustainable beef, despite what a minority of urban extremists want to believe.

The people in India have always kept the natural world and thus nature as the most sacred. The sacred means the precious, the pollution free. There are millions of cows kept in the special sheds made for them, where they get food, shelter and everything they require from the Indian community. Some are present outside these charitable sheds due to no reporting. The cameramen or the media coverage gives the false image of the Indian cows. The Indians do eat beef or meat of cow. The cow milk is cheaper than the cow urine. The cow urine is sold at least double to five times more costly than milk.

The Ayurvedic medicines are purified by using the cow urine, while keeping the medicines or the herbals for 2-3 three days as the homeopathic are put in the alcohol. The Indians following the Ayurveda and other health sciences do not eat meat, it is called the Tamsi Food- the one that generates heat in the body and causes stimulation so one cannot have rich concentration in the yoga and meditation. The Indian civilization always has been as if what we know the Scouting. The founder of the scouting Sir Baden Powell observed scouting in the Haridawara and thus gained insight for natural living.

India was a developed country before the Mugals and then the British India Company invaded. People had the great respect for natural. The Muglas and thus the Muslims adopted India as their home country, but the Britain or the British India Company did not accept it as their home country and thus India got independence from them in 1947. The revolution for freedom in 1857 was lead by the last Mugal Emperor, the Bahadur Shah Zaffar-a Muslim ruler after adopting India as his nation by his ancestors. Then he was sent to jail in outside India, where he died with last wish to have his tomb in India.

The western revolution of Industrial Revolution and then the Technology and in the Space Science has put the entire world in the extinction. The Asia, Africa, Latin America and other poor countries are facing great threat from the Bosses lead by USA, and mind it please that it is not the public of these nations-the politicians, industrialists and other money makers. They have turned the minds of the youth globally to be toys of western culture rebelling against their parents and the elders.

Thus, after two world wars and the economic rescission in USA in 1931, the terrorism against these tactics of western countries developed. Right from the beginning, including those involved in the independence of the other countries were labeled as the terrorists and thus hanged to till death or killed otherwise. They kept on moving the national heritages, cultures and customs, but the new names to the modern world order also killing many as the terrorists.

Actually, they are not against the western people, they simply do not want that the western manufactures in both the east and west are demolishing the entire human civilization to crunch to another Big Crunch in which the western marketers should have the full control over nations, natural world and thus the humans. They have succeeded to a great extent.

Here in India, the youth has turned away towards west and serving more than 500 British India Companies, there are more than 500 companies ruling India, but they do it indirectly. In many other counties the problems are similar and if they protest they are either against humanity or are terrorists.

So, we in India and Asia are trying to save the natural world along with you in the west. We do not differ when it is the matter of the global concern. So, it was the backyard cleaning so far, now we have to concentrate on the front yard, the space pollution that counties are spreading by space technology and other ways of nuclear experimentations. Can we stop them; it seems that we the Indians or the Asians are simply barking from the centuries are getting killed by industrial and other pollutions and or as the terrorist.
In any case, China and India are the two major counties in the world, which has remained the victims of the world politics, particularly the western one. The collection of raw iron was rapidly done in China and it was not noticed why?

The main cause was for the war level production of things from iron, and what else the iron can damage the magnet of earth if lots of it is placed around the center of the magnet, which covers the same areas, in which the Tsunami took place and harmed. Now, this iron displacement may appear totally self-assumed and a suspicions. Just take a magnet and attach the iron to it at the center as if near the equator of earth and see if the magnet shifts its center of the poles.

The India before independence in 1947 was asked or rather forced to give the raw material in the cloths and all that was in use for the industry and technology. The products after manufacturing were really costly. Then, and thus came the turn of the Arabian counties; which are giving us the petroleum products, to do the same.

In reverse, now the Asian market has lack of workers and if there are, they are low paid and thus a newly formed slaves for the developed countries. The same is true for almost all of the developing and the under developing counties from ages.

This has produced the pollution through human thought and money making. This process is at the peak now, and the nature is doing its part in return. The entire pollution on the equator is harming the poles, which is the western world. Even in this critical moment the human sense of equality is lacking the ways for solutions because the west does not recognize any country in the developing or the under developed regions and play the politics. Then media promotes it.

The funny example is of the Taliban’s; they are mostly from the Afghanistan and the near regions, where play knew nothing about the weapons and how to use these. The market of the weapons was opened for the new trade, which turned out to be against the west as they get aware.

The military of the USA and the allied countries goes to anywhere as if war is a trade. We are globally aware that people do not mourn on the deaths; they rather claim that the army and the police are paid. Are they paid to die only? The same is true for the militants.

Now, when nobody ever bothers about the global development and the western development is figured as the global development, how can world community accept it?

The pollution that Respected Judy is pointing does not mean that we have the data or the records. We have experienced the global exploitation for centuries and now suddenly the internet and media has opened a live ways for the same. We are being conditioned to think and behave to please the boss.

Who is the boss? Our employers and the boss pays from earnings that we offer, which is almost double than we are paid. The unemployment is a global problem and people have no work satisfaction because the boss can employ any expert to shut our mouths anywhere in the world.

Now, our discussion is about the new world order, but we forget that all of the scamming and tempering started with the industrial revolution and we cannot stop anything. However, if we are really honest towards nature and the natural world, we may have to stop the use of products, which are of no use naturally, it is not just made in China or elsewhere because it is true for everything. Out of some hatred we may go against others and stop marketing-the buying and selling. However can we check if the manufactures and the production in our own country or the native place going well?

No, we have to save the small scale industry and man made products, not just machine made, because we are failing the entire treasures of human civilization by not recognizing the importance of humanly made products and it includes-art, science, philosophy and other faculties of knowledge that are there waiting as if an unemployed tortured by the new technological revolutions serving some people and making all others just the consumers.

We may have to consider the natural world and the human civilization a one-everywhere not just in some countries. Otherwise, the most selfish people will be produced from and among us.

Let us continue discussing it before the poor countries go to work as the slave, as most of them are for the boss-the group of some people, who rule the world and justify everything in human history in their own way of righteousness. Thanks to people like Respected Judy, who can dare to say what they feel and experience not just the data informers for the other people. We need to be more critical, though creatively, and above all from our own thoughts, feelings, emotions and the experiences-the self felt experiences!

We pay the income tax and it gives the governments a national treasures. Moreover, the services provided to us also have our share in the national treasure because we also pay for it. Our national treasures are thus, the public property. We need to notice that the failures in the market are for what we also pay.

We may feel it an odd statements, the one not digestible. The companies that are going in slump need money, which the governments all over the world are giving them. That money is also from the national treasures. The money that we invest in the bank and insurance is having trouble. We know they are having a threat of slump. The money that the banks and the insurance companies pay us by doubling in three years or some similar way also invest money in the market and get the profits, which they give us, the share of it, not all. We notice that the value of the currency in any country is going down. What costs 100 dollars this year may cost at least 120-150 dollars. This keeps on increasing. This is something that is the interest rate competitor and it mostly wins it, the interest rate by the banks.

Now, suppose we do the marketing in a proper way-the sale and purchase, we may compare and find that we can earn more than the bank and the insurance companies. The time management is a lesson for it. If we keep on going like it, the failure of the companies and governments helping it to survive remain a solution for which we, the people pay for it. Thus, in any case, we pay for all setbacks to the market and also the income tax. Moreover, we pay to the services that keep on going expensive. The governments try to find the ways outside the nation, so the foreign counties come to help one another as if to help and rescue. However, it results in the worse conditions. The manufacturers from the foreign counties want to get the maximum profits in the easiest and the fastest way. Thus, the local industry is their target, the competitors, whom they mostly vanish very soon.

Even the national companies unite with the foreign manufacturers and the marketers and together they slowly put the small companies to sleep or a slump. Now, these big fishes working globally do not bother about the slump because they have lots of fund and if they are going to fail they can still survive in better conditions than the common industrialist. The local or the common industrialists are at the suicidal stage and the governments may not help them. However, due to public share in the big companies, the slum saving is there. The government comes to rescue by paying the huge amounts from the national treasure. We feel proud with realizing that it is our money that could have been saved if we have worked for better shopping by on our own. We go for the readymade from the foreign counties and the native manufactures not able to compete with big ones cannot help us. We find that initially everything is cheap and once we become a customer, the rates and the service charges start to increase. We blame the governments, but who is the victim in creating the manufactures, who sell at low price with low standards of the product?

We do it. We forget that these low costing products can demolish the native manufacturers, who cannot survive without our support. If they vanish, as they are, the big companies take over and the level of the customer goes down. They are superior just because they are rich and have lots of money for advertising and attracting more customers through media. We also pay for that ads and the media marketing, the increased rates of the products is the result that includes all the investment by the manufacturers.

The government cannot do anything if we are not aware. We want a popular product. We see TV or on the Internet, children also insist for the same. So, we are buying without knowing that the cold cream made from oil and water costs a little and we may be paying 10 times more. If we learn or at least know how much does it costs to the manufactures, our minds can shake our heads because we may never believe that marketing process costs more than the double of the cost of manufacturing and we pay for it.

Thus, the governments cannot find the victims present in the web of the global market because the competitors in our own nation after uniting with the foreigners (and the vice versa as well!) play a game that is worse than politics. The sale and purchase of weapons and other products of war and air travel have brokers, who participate in the sale and purchase of such a high cost products. We see two leaders signing the document with the political teams clapping around them. Somewhere there stand and mostly behind the curtain, who is a broker or the bribe taker in such a large sum that nation can feed all animals for a month. This corruption is where the politicians, manufacturers, marketers and the brokers are one. So, all of it is a creation of the thought pollution of corruption and greed for national and global interests. We pay even for it. We share with all, who get rich within days, while telling us how to get rich. This law of attraction leaves no failures for the marking fish’s. We shout and that is time to enjoy because it helps them as if the players getting inspiration. However, just have a look at the chess and see if the people placed for playing the game are real, yaw they are real and that are we, in every country.

Their greatest joy is to read and laugh at our appeals and petitions. Should we do something, simply say “no” to what does not help the manufacturers of our nation and brings slump that is increasing the unemployment, economic depression and above all the degeneration of the natural world that the industries are harming after the Industrial Revolution. We as the humans are not proud of it anymore because the uses of it are harming our health, wealth, natural life and resources, including the slaughtering of animals and whatever one can add to this never ending list. Thanks!

P.S.: The global suffering is the core of the Philosophy of the Vegetarianism and thanks for the advice about India as the Natural Country for Natural World as Cow is for the all-purpose use. Milk, Ayurveda, Ghee, Dung, Vitamin B12 and so many other points that all animals need. I have successful project about getting biogas, fertilizer and other similar products just from the cow urine. Thanks!

I humbly submit few more word:
The planners from the countries have turned the minds of the youth globally to be toys of western culture rebelling against their parents and the elders. Thus, after two world wars and the economic rescission in USA in 1931, the terrorism against these tactics of western countries developed. Right from the beginning of the influence and interference of the ruling of the western countries, while after entering as the marketers, they have used these tactics to keep the market in most profitable status possible. The logo always remains the same-Divide and Rule.

Now, they have done the worst possible to divide and rule the world, but it seems impossible task because people are getting aware about their lives. Even those, living the developed counties are facing the same problems from the marketer, which the poor ones face. However, way back from the great success of marketing cum ruling by the British India Company, they, the western countries are doing the same to either buy the conscience of the person, creation of the loyalists or kill as a terrorist. This includes even those involved in the independence of India in 1947 and South Africa recently.

President Nelson Mandela was a terrorist, whose name was removed from the list of the terrorist after the independence of South Africa. The same is true with the other countries, where many freedom fighters were labeled as the terrorists and thus hanged to till death or killed otherwise jailed. They kept on moving the national heritages, cultures and customs, but the new names to the modern world order also killing many as the terrorists.
Only one country was not affected by it, Australia established as a nation but due to support from the western countries it became a developed country, however, the Japan was near to be a developed country, however two atomic bombs and other bans on this nation made it as if to develop as a developing country. This again for marketing and money-the lots of treasures from the eastern countries were taken to the western countries.
Then came the phase of democracy, in which the dominance of UNO under the influence of developed countries brought corruption in such a way that the developing countries cannot dream to be the developed countries because the international politics and market does not have any room or scope for it. We have not noticed many countries becoming developed after the Second World War to till present, but most are getting towards a worse position, conditions and living standards, while the local manufactures and the workers and thus the labor market dying. Not only many people, but I have personally noticed it in real life that the western authorities mostly do not care for the citizens of the developing and under developed countries.
They treat as if democratic slaves, whom they treat well only verbally-the most of the people in the developed countries still use the synonymous words for the slaves as the slang language for the third world countries, but in most of the cases for migration to a developed country is taken as if a thief is entering into a nation.
People standing in front of the High Commissions of the developed countries with fears of interview and rejection gives the image that the global dominance of the western countries is still touching the sky and will remain so because the future does not reflect any change-we create our future in the present-the bans on the pollution and tax is not just the first example. Most of the policies for the third world countries are based on the fact that it is for ball bouncing back with heavily deposited golden touch.

The policies thus do not help, but some people get rich and become loyal to western counties and all of it makes it sure that there is not going to be any change in the developing countries. Then data and information about the advanced technology and space science, better security system against the native people and the neighboring countries is fed through media so that morphine of news can make them sleep. They always sleep and thus have no concern about the nature, natural world and all that we focus on in 2011-12. They have been put to sleep as the consumers, so how can they contribute? They cannot until the people in the east and west unite for the global concerns and the causes.
We discuss a lot, it is a great concern, most of the people in the world have left the participation in such topics due to western dominance affecting both the westerners as if the superiors and the easterners as if the inferiors. If we can solve this problem of attitude in reality, many problems can have solution and it includes the so called terrorism, which has sprouted from the countries where there has been too much opposition, support and or divide and rule working as a tool. The youth, parents, friends and the concerned one’s feel that humanly feelings and thus ultimately the slaughter of human thoughts and emotions is causing great depression and aggression.
Thus, most of the people in the third world countries seem to rebel against the modernization as governed by the market and the industry of all kinds in which the politicians are involved, while making the policies in which they are favored. For example the soft drinks and junk foods that are harming the most of the people of the third world, particularly the children and the youth leading to serious health problems, which are worse eating meat.

All of it makes these people feel that there is slow slaughtering of their next generations by such tactics. It includes the HIV and AIDS as there are health problems and free sex about which there is not enough education and knowledge in the third world countries. It is causing abortion-the slaughter, which is because of excessive pregnancies and the health females is going down. These factors make many people aggressive, who are labeled as the extremists and the terrorists facing death or severe punishments.
This slaughter of human sensitivity is the highest level of crime and we have to stop it by uniting globally by having some philosophy as a common cause, not just the racism in the thoughts based on the background of the thinkers. I think of Judy Cross in such matters because she can answer in the language that the people, who seem internet terrorists can do as the global activists. Thanks and let us make sure that we keep the sense of equality, no way that we use harsh words to any person as if a personal attack at this care2. Thanks and happy vegetarian days. I will submit an article about vegetarianism as well, thanks!

Let us share few word about Vegetarianism:

The Fried Curries, Foods and the Natural Ways-A Discussion on Nature Restoring Powers

The wheat seed can sprout after 24 hours or little more. The same is true with most of the seeds that we grow and eat in various forms of foods and meals. We have the known cause for calling it the stale food in India. The food that has been put to grinding goes dead after some days, however we can preserve it in the forms of seed. The reason is not just a belief-it is health concept for social awareness based on scientific reasons. The Ayurveda describes it as the most ancient form of the Health Sciences for the entire human race, not just for the Indians.

Some Indian, the modern and particularly in the western countries put the wheat flour made as the water added and ready to bake, named as the Chapatti, Roti and Indian Wheat Bread. Now, one may compare it with the sprouts of seeds. The people in the west use the sprouted foods as the most essential part of not just the diet, but as an independent and a complete food. This is one of the most ancient practices in India.

The people in India have used seed put in water to sprout along with mashing of the herbals, which include the green plants and ginger like herbals that are rooted in the grounds and the other leaves as the herbals. It is the essence not of the vital grounded whet goes stale, gets fungus, rotten, but the sprouts have the opposite. Both grow; one is eaten by the fungus and the other by us. The other content that the people in the western countries may not digest is the concept of curry.

They believe that it is one of horrific thing that only the Indians or the Asians can eat and digest. It is as wrong as eating the grounded and processed foods after some days, when these have lost the bio-energy and thus have attained the nuclear powers of radiations the microwaves and also from the refrigerators. (It is a fun!). It is not just energy; rather it is the bio-energy that is of greater importance.

The Indian curry and masala is the group of herbals that are put to the veggies and other foods and meals for making the food a meal cum a tonic. The herbals that are burnt in the oils are poisons on the other hand as described in the Ayurveda. Actually these herbals are given a touch of oil so that by boiling these should not lose the herbal contents.

The oil touch is given to these just by frying to such a little extent so that after putting it into water these may leave the herbal contents in maximum.

One may consider the leaves of Neem (Azadirahta Indica), which if burnt in the oil make the oil a good for the pimples, small wounds filled with pus and acnes. Just imagine if one eats it, the ulceration takes place in the stomach and or in the digestive system. Similarly the other herbals have the inverted or the opposite effects if fried. In this case, the western thought and beliefs are right, which the Ayurveda strongly recommends to avoid, the frying of the herbals to black. It has a similar example from which most of the Indians can understand it very quickly.

You see when we prepare the Parshad, the sweet dishes in any form, these have a certain color fragrance, which enables us to recognize that we can add water to it or it is ready to it. If we give little extra heat to the wheat flour being cooked in the ghee or oil, and then add water, not yummy. It goes bitter and loses the entire taste and healthy qualities that it could have given at the right time. The yellowish appearance and the full fragrance of the ghee or oil mixed with that of the wheat has it all.

Now, can one eat the overcooked or the blackish sweets in that way-the unhealthy one? No, indeed it is not good for health. The same is true with the herbals; we keep on looking at it until it goes black-how amazing. You know why just because it gives the taste that is of the oil receiving all the nutrients to heal the poison, but outside the body. (This antiseptic injection/ointment is for outside use only!).

On the other hand, the little fried to yellowish color is the right to put into the curries and for the other uses. Still better is to boil it. Now, our irony of example, we do not eat the wheat flour that is not baked. We give steam to the herbals for the best results. Did the ancient people know about steam and its use?

When we talk about the hot and cold water bath, how can we say that they did not know it? It is an impossible assumption. Now, the oil is of great essence in creating the taste. How we should use oil so that we may get the best taste?
We have forgotten it? So let us start right from the beginning as if an interview between an ancient and the modern:
Modern: Do you know how steam works? You know we have the steam cookers and other ways to cook the foods.
Ancient: Well, you see when we put water to the grounded wheat flour and then bake it, something works, isn’t it.
Modern: Yaw, you’ve logic. The steam works to bake and cook it. So, can you tell if this steam works in some other ways that I do not know?
Ancient: We always believe in the slow processes that never allow any nutrient to leave anything that we use or eat.
Modern: Interesting, for example.
Ancient: Well, for example, the water that steams in the baking process of wheat flour bread gives it the full nutrient saving powers.
Modern: What is this power?
Ancient: You see everything in nature has the restoring power and if we follow the proper way, it works otherwise it destroys us.
Modern: I see. Wait a minute, how can it destroy us?
Ancient: You see if you pour some oil or ghee on the wheat bread, while baking it, the frying process destroys us.
Modern: You seem using the word destroys as if it is a nuclear weapon.
Ancient: Well, it is more dangerous than the nuclear weapons.
Modern: I can’t believe it. How can you claim it?
Ancient: You see the fried and steamed wheat flour bread have this difference clear. When we eat the food fried in oil, it goes to our stomach and works as if a stimulant isn’t it.
Modern: Yaw, but what is the nuclear in it?
Ancient: I see. The nuclear in it is the chemical changes that it brings-it is not recyclable and thus deposits in the body as a waste creating diseases, which we suffer as if there is a nuclear war within.
Modern: Wow, it sounds interesting. You mean to say that if our body does not process in a way that isn’t’ recyclable we cause the chemical and thus the nuclear changes. Do you correlate it with anything else?
Ancient: Yaw, we believe that we’re what we eat.
Modern: No way, it’s not acceptable. The modern theory says that we’re what we think.
Ancient: Yaw, exactly. When we create chemical changes by the foods that aren’t recyclable we give new chemicals to our body, which works as stimulants as I said before. So, it disturbs the thought process, isn’t it?
Modern: Oh I see. So, you mean to say that all that we say eat or do not eat has effect. You know we’ve many diseases, which are because of our diet. We can’t eat lots of salt, it causes blood pressures, and one loses temper and feels angry. We can’t eat lots of sugar it decays our body. So, this decay is worse than the nuclear, person is not born with disabilities, but finds all disabilities coming up during the life span. It is worse than I imagined.
Ancient: Yaw, you know avoiding the natural products and eating and drinking the processed foods is same as the nuclear weapons going into the digestive system.
Modern: You use herbals in foods, isn’t it?
Ancient: Yaw, the reason is simple. We look at the animals as you do the experiments on them. We learn from them that the processed and fried foods-neither they can eat nor digest it. Even if we give them chemicals they give it back to us through the products that we get from them. We also learn from the trees, plants, birds, rivers, seas and the entire nature to follow the human body in a natural way.
Modern: All right, I’ll learn more about it from you. Let’s meet again. Thanks!
Ancient: You’re welcome. Let’s go to the Dream Farm-the Organic World.
Modern: All right. Let’s go!
(They reach at the farm house).

The rainforests are such amazing places and contain such great biodiversity - all of which is going to be lost if we keep destroying them. I know that there's no simple answer in many cases since so many of those areas are located in poorer parts of the world where the people are just trying to earn a living any way they can - even if it means clear-cutting the forests for agriculture. But it's a problem that really does need to be solved soon because it's going to affect us all in the end.

Respected Kenneth, I have found some websites giving details of alpha, beta, theta and other rays in relation to our mind. Kindly check, it may be of use as we have evidence about the alpha, beta, theta, delta and other waves and the misuse of these in the genocide even in the natural world besides humans. Kindly follow the following links to study more:
