How to Convert Children to Good Eating?

Ray Kent

All the mistakes that have been made by our ancestors are distributed amongst the newborns. Yes, they inherited good singing voices and musical abilities and in some cases, good minds, but they also inherited body parts that breakdown over the years and cause much pain and suffering. As we fast, we would be able to see clearly that the roots of their conditions are long. Threatening and punishing them will only being grief. Generally, the children are weaker than their parents and their anger levers are frightening and the depth of their depression is a dark hole in which life loses its luster and we have a world epidemic of teenage suicide.

The ancient wisdom told us that the sins of the parents will descent to the children. Unfortunately, that was lost in the religions. Their genetic blueprint is full of glitches, their stomach, their heart, nervous and circulatory system; the filters and blood builders were weak at birth. And our little ones begin their life badly handicapped and on their way to a life of suffering. Someday as we continue to fast, we will realize what a tragedy we have committed by not seeing the responsibility in procreation. And now, with all these in mind, we must work out their conversion to good living habits with all the love and compassion that we can produce.

First step, level the playing field and admit our mistakes, apologize and weep and hug and ask them for forgiveness for the awful parenting that we have punished them with. Don't connive, come clean and deserve each other's love. Demonstrate by our examples, how good life can be as we enjoy all of its benefits. They are more addicted than we are, so patience is needed, our hands must stroke and not beat, our voice should soothe and not scold, we mean everything to the little ones for they observe our every word and deed. And if we want them to follow the truth, then we must follow the truth. If no meat or dairy is served at mealtime, we are making a statement that will embrace them throughout their lives.

The diet of children is very simple. When they finish the breast, we present them with a variety of fruits for tasting and their choices need to be honored. And we must finally get it through our head that children don't like vegetables any more than we did when we were children. So, don't force vegetables upon them or jazz them up with sauces, cream, frying and salt, all that leads to very bad eating habits. Their honest needs are fruits.

In order for us to make an easy conversion, it is necessary for us to understand who our children are and who they came from and when we do, the opportunity would be presented for us to have a great relationship, and one that will give them great memories and allow us to live longer and wiser.

They, as well as us, began our life with the seeds of cancer, diabetics, heart failure and loss of mental balance already in our blueprint. So think about all of this, and give it time each day to feel the full weight of it. Fill the children with good memories because from those memories come the future successes in life. Our caring is the greatest gift that we can give them and a proof of what love is all about. I gave up eating animals 30 years ago and I have thanked myself a thousand of time for making this decision, for it has led to other decision that has changed the direction of my life.

The second step is to educate by example. It is a powerful persuader and the foundation of all teaching. This is the kind of thinking that will be adapted by the world's religions so the followers have sound direction and much more pleasant journey through life. Failure is guaranteed so long as we pursue the old traditional way that have not worked. We have committed the ultimate child abuse and it is bringing disasters to their lives as they grow up and take over the mess that we leave.

Try hard to catch them before they pursue spirituality. Our clarity comes from our general physical conditions. When we are weak and polluted, it is not the time to seek spirituality but rather the time to clean and heal. The body is the highest evolved instrument on earth and bringing it back into balance is where the effort must go. When they see life lived in truth, the embrace begins for us all.

The parenting game has many shortcomings. It was dreamed up to control and bring order to the world's societies. It has created barriers between fathers and sons, mothers and daughters that never go away until death. Religions were the biggest proponent of this and as a result, those who ran the world did so with religious license. The power of parenting came from old teachings and has been a burden to the parents and a pain in the ass for the little ones who fought so hard against parenting, we struck back with punishment and rewards and we lost the natural and effective tools of reason and love.

Don't rush into the conversion like going home and cleaning out the fridge and making things for dinner that taste weird and preaching at mealtime. Go slow and go with love. Don't punish, don't preach, don't parent and don't reward and over time, as the poison drains, a very meaningful relationship will develop. That has been what has been missing from our lives. As adults, we bore the burden of our mistakes; failing to have a meaningful relationship with the children has robbed us of the finest pleasure. So weigh it all out, and admit to them that it has been all-wrong. Apologize for the mistakes and then, begin to reason it all out, with interludes of smiling and crying.

This is course to follow; this is the way to a healthy life - growing up with children in a natural environment with our support and respect is to help them have a more meaningful journey through life. It's a treasure to behold. The formula : Fasting, Sunshine, Pure Eating, Love
