Manna From Heaven
09/11/2008
For the duration of the past summer, I fasted from beef, chicken, and pork. During the year, I watched multiple friends of mine fast from the same foods for Lent, but I was non-denominational, so Lent was foreign to me. I made zero religious commitments to give anything up. In speaking to my friend Joseph who gave up meat for Lent, he shared a quote that resonated with me: "For as long as man continues to be the ruthless destroyer of lower living beings, he will never know health or peace. For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed he who sows the seeds of murder and pain cannot reap joy and love," quoted from Pythagoras.
