* GAURANGA PEACE MEALS N.G.O.

                                                                         Why Free ?

* The definition of rich is " Having more than you need" 

* The definition of poor is "Having less than you need"

Mahatma Gandhi said," there is enough for everyone's need, not for everyone's greed".

What everyone needs is the basics,food,shelter and clothing - beyond that is what you want,the 'Luxuries of Life'. Fast Food,fizzy drinks,tobacco,meat-eating,alcohol,medicines ironically, ALL lead to some kind of future ailment affecting us or other living entities.At present on this planet there is enough food to feed everyone,but due to inefficient and uneven distribution people starve.

WE aim to expose this fact by freely distributing 1000's of "PEACE MEALS" to anyone "Rich or Poor"

*Put us to the test,invite us to cook for your charity.*

Perhaps after all,only thinking of ourselves is not the best remedy to curing this planet we call home,ourselves and ALL it's inhabitants.Not only are we wasteful but indeed very selfish as a species.By sharing,giving of yourself to those now found in NEED,you will open yourself to a Higher Pleasure -

GIVING an act of LOVE.

" The Universe doesn't see what you give,but what you keep for yourself !"

    WHY VEGETARIAN ?  Its not a question of "do animals reason,but can they suffer?"

Socrates recommended a vegetable diet because it would allow a country to make the most intelligent use of its agricultural resources.

    It has been shown in studies worldwide that if the earths arable land were used primarily for the production of vegetarian foods, the planet could easily support a human population of 20 billion and more. Facts such as these have led food experts to point out that the world hunger problem is largely illusory. In turn the myth of " overpopulation " has been used by abortionists to justify the killing of more than 60 000 000 unborn children every year. It should also be noted that much of the planets arable land is being farmed with crops of coffee,tea,tobacco etc, where crops could be yielding precious grains and vegetables.At present we are producing enough food for everyone on the planet, but unfortunately it is being allocated inefficiently (even in South Africa)

  This wholesale slaughter of animals is not necessary to prevent us from starving.Each year billions of mammals and birds are slaughtered for food,but few make any conscious connection between the slaughter of animals and the meat products that appear on the table i.e: Ronald McDonald and his burger patches.The truth is not pleasant - commercial slaughterhouses are like visions of hell ! One wonders how many people would still eat flesh if they had to go out and slaughter their own animals.
Some will question and ask if animals can reason or if they desire,the question should be can they suffer? The meat industry is particularly wasteful,some slaughter houses were found to be using 100 million gallons of water daily,enough to supply 25 000 people.

  *Danger of meat* 
  It was also found that meat products contained a lethal cocktail of   more than 2500 chemicals administered to the animal while in the feedlot to keep it alive until slaughter.Out of fear at the time of slaughter the animal releases adrenalin and other bodily toxins into its flesh. The result is that these toxins enter our bodies causing illnesses as the chemicals cannot differentiate between our blood and that of the animals.Whats-more, many animals develop tumors and septic cysts that go undetected in the grading process of meat suitable for human consumption.

   *Saving the Environment* 
 By becoming a vegetarian you stop the slaughter of animals,deforestation,packaging,disease,health risks and
conserve our precious water reserves.To grow 1 pound of wheat requires only 60 pounds of water, whereas production of 1 pound of meat requires anywhere from 2,500 - 6000 pounds of water".A 100g portion of meat contains only 20g of protein whereas a 100g portion of cheese or lentils yields 25g of protein.Considering all this,it's hard to see how anyone could afford not to become vegetarian.

 "Killing and eating meat is an integral part of the evolution of human beings,
not killing and eating meat is the next step in our evolution".

    *Miracle of Milk*

"There is a miracle in milk,for it contains all the necessary vitamins to sustain human physiological conditions for higher achievements.Priestly culture(pious) can only advance when man is educated to develop GOODNESS,and for this there is a prime necessity of food prepared with milk,fruits and grains." (Vedas)

*The truth about proteins*

      Healthy proteins. are derived from rice, pea dahl, wheat, milk products, nuts, chick peas, avocado and beans - to mention a few.A combination of rice and pea dahl can give you 80% of your daily protein requirements.Anemia is caused by lack of iron, not meat. Spinach with potato provides sufficient iron in the diet ( a little lemon juice releases more ). Carbohydrates are the bodies primary energy source,not meat! Excessive protein in the body can cause damage to the kidneys and also depletes the calcium in the bones resulting in osteoporosis.

The meals available now in feeding schemes to the cities most vulnerable can only condemn them to a life on the streets as they are devoid of sufficient nutrients to energize their failing bodies and nourish their already depleted self esteem.
