Platter to the soul

I'm a pretty eastern mindset person, often thinking in ways that other people think as fruity hippie style forms of thought, so I often keep them to myself. Often times when I try to communicate with people these things that I believe, I get blank looks that resound with a big "allllriiiiggghhtt...." or a refutation of sophomoric western logic, which for some reason people don't draw parallels with eastern thought.
My first beef is that westerners seem to be obsessed with doing things first. Doesn't matter that the cotton gin was invented in asia nearly 2000 years before it was in the west, westerns hold that Eli Whitney did it first. Do people really think that chinese would be practicing certain medical practices for their 3000 year history if they never worked? Please.
Anyways heres the thing I've been thinking about. I've for some reason been reading a lot on Halal and Kosher style foods, the meats in particular are what intrigue me. I began to also think of how meat I've had in this country always seems so heavy, and leaves me feeling weighed down, out of energy, and sluggish, while the same dishes I ate in Korea were light, and even left me feeling energized.
Kosher food seems so much lighter to me as well, same meat, but what is it that makes it different. Well here comes my hippie logic. Food is energy, our fuel, but it is also the carried last essence of what you're eating. Vegetables have a low amount of energy, so they never seem to fulfill you when you eat them, because the last life energies in the vegetable when harvested is minimal. But a warm blooded animal has a lot of energy, just note the massive amount of food it must consume.
The manner in which the animal is slaughtered leaves in it traces of its last essence of energy. American meat is often raised in not the greatest conditions, and we constantly have to have a watchdog over the proper slaughter of animals, doing so in clean environments and without torturing the animals first, but even at that it's hardly successful. Because of this, American meat carries that taint of poor life and harsh death, the energy is negative, pained, and thus transfered to the person eating it. The sluggish lifestyle of the animal while its being raised for slaughter, not only presents a lack of lean meat, but a great deal of that sluggish low energy. It sucks your own energy, leaving you feeling weighed down, almost like you're exhausted, even sleepy, because you've just taken in that tortured state of the animal you ate.
Kosher meats are prepared with extremely strict slaughering practices, and the animals are finished off precisely and in a humane manner. The meat doesn't carry that negative energy signature, instead you get positive energy from the animal, making you feel light, fulfilled, and even healthy.
Korean meat is like this as well, because of strict standards of freshness, and demanding quality, Koreans won't eat meat more than 2 days after slaughter and if its not completly lean. The meat is light, and because it's so expensive, well they damn better well be making sure the animals that they slaughter are raised to a prime perfection. It was impossible for me to get that weighed down feeling when I ate Korean, no matter how much I ate, nearly 3 lbs of meat mind you, that I get when eating american slaughtered meat, and I believe its because there was no negitave energy from an improper slaughter.
Also freshness is important because of how much energy is retained, if you eat older meat, it tastes more like death, which I can't say tastes too great. Now when I say korean meat, I don't mean korean recipes, cause korean food I eat in america is still heavy, I mean meat I ate while in korea.
I can't imagine Halal meat is that great for you in regards to my little philosophy here. Cutting the animals throat and bleeding it out to me is probably not going to let the animal go out in a quick and pleasant manner. I've not had halal, but I feel like I would get really sick off it.
Another example of how powerful this negative energy can be is from fastfood. The meat they get is of the lowest quality really, and if I eat it, I get really sick. If you want to be able to eat that type of meat, you have to desensitize yourself to that negative energy signature. Notice how vegans get sick when they eat any meat, they've lost any tolerance for the negative energy. I've seen a vegan friend eat kosher meat, expecting to get sick, but didn't, becaues that energy signature wasn't there.
Just something for you all to think about.
