HUH PLANT BASED WHAT?
Well i got into talking so much about the eggs and mozzarella cheese at the last (LHD) event/action i failed to talk about the womon there who said i still need to talk about my addiction to meat and it seems to me everyone here wants to avoid talking about that, is it more comfortable talking about something else she asked. One of the other wimmin said she thought now was a very good time to talk about addictions since we were talking about eggs and the mozzarella cheese anyway. The womon who identified herself as having a meat addiction ask a very intense question, her question, does anyone else here feel as thoughthey have a meat addiction? One womon said i think i can stop eating meat if i really wanted to forever but i don't really want to, she went on to say that she felt to call a love for meat an addiction was not in her reality because meat is here for us to eat, and calling a love for it an addiction was the same to her as was calling her love for money an addiction and her love for man and his kind an addiction. She also said that she thought we as wimmin took on the illness of victims when we identify something or someone we loved as addictive. That is was high time we looked at what we did in a positive lights rather than negative ones, i did not quite understand what she meant but i hesitated to respond because it seemed to me that i am always the one who is questioning, questioning, so i on this one kept my mouth closed. Remember G...... she had something very interesting to say she said she had been raised as a vegetarian, she came from a family who tied vegetarianism into their religious practices and her family was very strict about it, she said when she married a man he also was vegetarian for religious reasons and she felt this was at the bottom of their divorce,because he no longer wanted to be vegetarian and she did, she had refused to cook animals for him and that he would not eat non vegetarian foods in public but when they were home he insisted that she prepare meat for him, this caused her to see him as a lying hypocrite and when she told him this his anger about it was the cause of many arguments so much to the point that they stop relating to each other and a divorce was the only way that she could keep her wits about herself operating. She also said after her divorce she toyed with the idea of not being vegetarian but had an extreme amount of difficulty releasing herself from the guilt about eating animal parts. One of the wimmin asked her if she was still a vegetarian? she said i stop being a vegetarian for five years, i have now been a vegetarian for the past seven. Everybody wanted to ask her questions about her experiences she was quite gracious and directed the conversation back to the womon who wanted to talk about her meat addiction. I must admit everyone did seem a bit uncomfortable listening to the womon who talked about her addiction. I asked her if she wanted to become a vegetarian, she responded that she really did not know but did not think so, however she said i do enjoy so much coming here to the (LHD) actions/events cause i give myself a chance to see how me and the as y'all call it plant based foods do together. I thought to myself now there is a helluva womon wow she is damn honest, and i like that. I told her that i thought she was a helluva womon for being so candid and honest. I also told her not to be so hard on herself cause coming here was a tremendous step and i also told her what i think on becoming, becoming anyone,and on being, being who you feel you really are,she didn't say anything she smiled. Another womon said she thought addictions were very real and needed to be dealt with as a reality, and the best way she said to deal with addictions is to get help, i asked here isn't that what this womon is asking for help in dealing? I was not quite ready for her reply which was, yes but we are not authorities on the subject of addictions and perhaps we need to develop a list of experts who could come to the meetings and help us with such things as addictions. I asked her who is better acquainted with my addictions than myself and where would we get these ex perts who could tell us how to deal with our concerns who are more knowledgeable on us than we are? The womon who identified her addiction as a meat one said i have been to all the ex perts that i am going to i would really rather stay here and deal with this on the level i have chosen with other wimmin, wow was i glad to hear her say that. I asked her do you have a meat addiction or would/could you call it a food addiction? She said she had never thought of it in those terms. She also said i just know that i really love meat, she also said i have heard some of you say that the 3M's are the divide and that they come together as a divide, are you saying that if i love and have to have meat i love and have to have men? and love and have to have money? One womon i thought was very harsh in her response she said without a doubt. The other womon said that one i will have to think about and through, another womon said i don't know if that is so cause i dont have a meat addiction and i do love my husband and i sure as hell don't hate money, and i said but look you placed them all together as a love, she said so? Well the time is getting late i said and besides i was getting very tired and i noted so were the others,so i asked if we could call it stops for the evening everyone agreed except one womon who said i really think that we should continue until we can come to some agreement and i said agreement on what her response on if there is truth in that the 3M's all come together. I said i am tired she said i don't think the group ends simply because you are tired, i said you are absolutely right, so, why don't you all carry on and when you are finished please be sure that all the lights are out and the stove is also i am going to bed and with that i got up went to the bathroom and went to bed i did not hear them when they left. The next morning i got up and saw that they had cleaned up everything,left me a note that they would like to meet at my apartment in an unsafe part of town next week, they also left the following 5lbs organic brown rice, 5lbs organic pasta, 5lbs organic sweet potatoes, 5 organic Spanish onions, 6bunches of organically grown for some womon's yard of spinach,7lbs of organic tofu, a 3lb box of organic quinoa, 2bags of corn tortilla chips, 1box or soy milk and 110 dollars. Wow what an evening. I looked at all they had left and heard myself say so where is the homemade mozzarella?
