The uric acid causes tremendous problems for the body, burdening the liver and kidneys as these organs try to deal with all of the toxins contained in meat. The increased consumption of flesh foods can be directly related to the deterioration of the health of the American People. Sadly, we in America have been taught that eating flesh foods is required to receive our protein and for proper nourishment. Contrary to popular opinion, a vegetarian diet provides sufficient and complete protein. The protein by which God designed our bodies to be sustained is the living protein found in plants.
Protein is found in all green leafy vegetables and, in fact, in all living plants.
At one time it was thought that to obtain complete protein, foods would have to be carefully combined. Francis Moore Lappe, the woman who helped popularize the myth that vegetables must be properly combined in order to obtain complete protein in her 1971 book, Diet for a Small Planet , has admitted this premise was incorrect. Even the American Dietetic Association now says you get more than enough protein by simply eating a variety of plant foods. The main reason, that approximately 50 percent of all Americans die of heart disease and strokes is that their arteries are clogged up with cholesterol. People, who do not eat animal products, practically never have a cholesterol problem.
