Reserve Judgment

2/2/2015

Reserving judgement is hard for us humans to do. Every time I see someone, or watch an activity, I immediately make an assumption, have an opinion, or judge them. Why do I do this? Perhaps it is the way humans are designed! We can make a judgement quickly so the species can survive. More often than I like to admit, though, I put my foot in my mouth, say the wrong thing, and then have to backtrack, apologize, etc.

I think we have to actively practice reserving judgment. Get more information about a person's journey before making a judgment about who they are. We all live in our little bubbles in our heads and hearts. We see the world through rose colored glasses, so to speak. We filter things out that we do not want to see or hear.

How about you? Dig deep and think back about those moments where you were completely wrong about a person or situation. Were you able to rectify the issue? Was it difficult to do? How do you feel about the person or event now? Did it make you squirm to say you were wrong or misinformed? I want to hear from you! Please share my blogs, videos, and book with those you love. We can grow as a tribe!

Industrial Cattle Ranching Effects on Everything Else!

10/12/2014

When cattle are raised in a natural and sustainable way, their waste (poop) fertilizes the earth for other crops. Their poop is not that stinky either, and when I lived in India, the cow dung was used for building homes.

When cattle are raised in feed lots on grain, the dung is not usable for helping other things grow. The animals live in a stressed out environment, caused by the small space, poor food quality given to them, and the chemicals fed to them by way of hormones, steroids, and antibiotics. The stress of the living conditions increases their stress hormone cortisol, which makes the toxicity in their fat higher. This is one reason why we say if you must eat regular grocery store meat, choose lean cuts rather than fatty cuts.

On the other hand, if you eat pastured,100% grass fed, 100% grass finished meats and dairy, buy the fattiest cuts (and full fat, raw dairy) possible. Those fats are good for us.

How does poor cattle ranching affect the other crops around it? Trees are usually cut down in order to make space for the cattle ranching production. That means there is less oxygen in the air. The fumes when we pass an industrial cattle ranch are horrific, and the crops in that area are not thriving because of the toxic gases in the soil and air. The waste products are carried naturally into the water supply, and this has negative affects on the plants and animals in streams, rivers, as well as negatively affecting irrigation practices.

I'm not suggesting that we should stop eating meat if we don't want to, but I'm suggesting we ask questions from the deli man, the butcher, the grocery store personnel, the farmers, etc. Read the labels, know what the codes mean, and do not be fooled by managers' specials!

Knowledge is power, my friends.
