Light On Lapsed Vegan and Now Liar, Lierre Keith

Veritas | 01.10.2009 13:49 | Animal Liberation | Ecology | Gender | South Coast

The latest meat industry supported attack on vegans and
vegetarians is by Lierre Keith, who claims to be a 20 year
vegan.


As critical mass grows to outlaw vivisection worldwide
and as the animal flesh cadaver industry plummets,
those who profiteer from agony have gone on the attack:

Vivisector Pfizer the world's largest drug company
which has drowned dogs in washing machines supports a website attacking individual
animal rights activists
Mass butcher KFC funds Consumer Freedom, a site
attacking those who want to outlaw factory farms.

www.kfccruelty.com
Prostitutes of the slaughterhouse from Atkins
and Stillman to Adele Davis have died of
diseases from the corpse products they touted.
Profiteers have sprouted lying websites of all kinds.
The latest courtesan of the blood and disemboweled
guts industry is Lierre Keith
whose prevarications in a book are loudly advertised on Pacifica
Radio's KPFA which was once an ethical station.

Ms Keith says she was a vegan for 20 years and now argues
the antivegan point of view.

Agriculture
Ms Keith claims to love wild places and has
forgotten that the biggest deforester on earth
is the mammal murder for meat industry.


Quote:
In service to annual grains, humans have devastated prairies and forests, driven countless species extinct, altered the climate, and destroyed the topsoil--

Yes... this is true and no industry wastes grain as much
as the reverse protein industry of feeding rice, wheat, oats
to cows, sheep and pigs before slaughtering them.
We need tree, vine, and food bearing bush
agriculture...yielding 450,000 lbs an acre, not animal agriculture which
gives 21,000 lbs of grain to a cow to get back
1,000 lbs of decaying flesh.

Health.
Protein and Carbohydrates
Keith is an advocate of the repudiated Stillman, Atkins
and Eades diets which have been condemned by the AMA
for causing bleeding ulcers, ketosis or acidification of the
kidneys, cancer, heart disease, constipation etc. Stillman,
Atkins and Adelle Davis are now dead of diseases caused
by their diets. Atkins died of a cerebral stroke caused by
animal fat and amyloid plaque. He was morbidly obese
at the time of his death. Adelle Davis died of a melanoma
cancer. Atkins' foundation has a financial relationship with
the primate torturing, Bill Gates funded Duke University
and with Smithfield, the world's biggest pig killer.
Cancer is correlated to protein consumption... is the
conclusion of many studies including The China Study by
T Colin Campbell.

Heart
Keith states that triglycerides (glycerine is animal fat) are
elevated eating foods which have no animal fat!
For the truth: www.pcrm.org Over 1000 vegan
MD's with no financial interest in meat industry paid
research grants or pharmaceutical industry graft.
Thousands of studies have
proven that of the 3 most common groups: nonvegetarians,
vegetarians and vegans... vegans have the lowest blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and heart beats per minute, thus pumping the same amount of blood with far less stress. The average vegetarian heart does the same work with 20 fewer beats per minute. Even in the 19th Century, Wm Harvey Kellogg, MD was citing statistics like these.

The Bottom Line
It is because vegetarians live longer that some insurance
companies give vegetarians, vegans, and fruitarians
life insurance discounts.

A 7 year study of Adventists and Mormons (only nondrinkers
and nonsmokers selected) indicated the average Adventist
lives 7 years longer than the average nonvegetarian Mormon.

A January 1973 National Geographic report found that
the centenarian tribes and peoples of the world are vegetarian.
The magazine reported on the Hunzas of Tibet, the Azerbaijans
of the Caucasus, the Vilcabamba of Ecuador. Hindu yogis
have extraordinary longevity.

Publisher
PM Press/Flashpoint Press killed thousands of
trees Lierre Keith claims to love to bring out
this butchers' bible.
PM Press, the latest publisher pawn of the British,
Australian, Canadian and American meat industries
was started in 2007. PM co-founder is Scottish Ramsey Kanaan

Other paid mouthpieces of the abbatoir owners re
Malcolm Kendrick, Gary Taubes, Loren Cordain, Sally Fallon, Mary Enig, Dr. Uffe Ravnskov, Anthony Colpo, Michael Pollan,
(a man who wrote about buying an animal and
watching him slaughtered)
Julia Ross, Thincs, The Weston A. Price Foundation, Eat Wild

Residence
Lierre Keith lives in Western Massachusetts with 29 chickens and a duck named Miracle. Perhaps the duck
is called Miracle because it is the only animal on her
farm safe from her teeth.

Feminism
She claims to be a feminist, and yet no industry
exploits female animals more than the meat
and dairy industries which have enslaved trillions
of women animals.

She wants feminists to abandon the culture of rape. Is
that why she advocates picking up the slaughterhouse knife,
the ultimate imposition of force?

Lierre Keith states that
crimes against women are crimes of access. This
is also true of the women animals she advocates
killing. They are violated by humans who have access to them.

Anthropology
Ms Keith appears to have abandoned 20 years of vegan diet
while observing that carnivores eat animals.
That is akin to watching a pedophile harm a child
and copying his savagery. Human beings and other frugivorous
primates have the longest intestinal tract per height of
any species, while carnivores have a very short one. Numerous
differences are outlined in a book by Sri Yukteswar.


Capitalism

Quote:
They feel entitled to consume the labor and, essentially, the lives of the poor,

said Lierre Keith in an
interview about capitalists while she feels entitled to
consume not only the labor and life but the very body of
a cow, sheep or pig.


Footnote
We know a vegan who through misfortune was dropped
into homelessness. He began eating out of fast food dumpsters
and was once again caught on the hook of
trioxypurine, the addictive uric acid in flesh which is
more harmful than dioxypurine or caffeine. But that vegan
did not try to defend his devouring of animals.
