Narration: How the Animal Lived (Exclusive for Patrons)

*Like the essays, we are now making every other short-form documentary narration permanently available for $10/month patrons only. With full bundles likely being collected into future feature length film projects. Here is the first private one, as a private Vimeo link. Vimeo can be ultra slow in regards to play back, but hey, these are our first world problems. 

Our ancient ancestors ate a natural diet of gathered plants, seeds, grains, nuts, and very rarely, if they were lucky enough, after an energetically exhausting hunt, wild meat. 

A choice to eat meat in modernity spreads into dietary, ethical, and environmental grounds. 

Although hunting for your own meat will never go out of practice, today, taking an animal's life has mostly been outsourced to farmers or large industry, thus removing ourselves from that violence and accountability. 

Some feel eating any meat is unhealthy, when in actuality there are noticeable energetic and health differences between these dynamics. 

If an animal lived a sad, scared, tortured, short life, confined in tiny spaces, eating a source it was not designed to eat such as genetically modified corn, only to die a horrible slaughter, those negative effects are passed onto the planet and to the human in the process of its consumption. 

These meats are unhealthy omega 6 fats which like many processed oils, when consumed constrict human blood vessels, cause inflammation, and depress the immune system. 

If an animal lived a fulfilling and humane longer life in the wild or on a farm, with space to graze and roam, eating a source such as grass which it was naturally designed to eat, and was then killed quickly, that meat, including the organs can be beneficial when consumed. 

Consisting of omega 3 fats passing on positive effects to humans such as improved brain and joint functions, increased fertility, and promotion of body fat loss. 

Eating primarily a plant based diet, and only transmuting animals bodies into food as an extremely rare luxury, in honor, just like our ancestors did, leads to physical, emotional, and spiritual structures being more deeply connected.
