A very interesting article. I learned through Church that everyone was a vegatarian until the great flood with not much left in the way of vegatables until it was grown again God allowed them to eat meat. but I take it to mean it was supposed to be temperary until the Vegatables and fruit was more plentiful.

GO VEGANS!!! I would love to see the ways of the ‘white man’ go by, so that the natural order of respect for mother earth, her plants and ALL beings, returned in full force. People who have a taste for meat, haven’t tried the Vegan way, for it they had, they would quickly LOSE it!! Look forward to Part II. Your article is wonderful!

Thank you for this post. I have searched a bit myself to try and find out what started this whole confining and owning animals for food and other human “luxorys”. This has been extremely helpful and much appreciated.

What an informative, fascinating post. I wish I could share it with everyone who argues that we are “meant to” eat animals, “just look at the food chain” blah blah…but I know that some people will never hear it. The power of the taste buds outweighs the power of higher reasoning. Thank you, Dr. Will, for giving us all such tasty food for thought.

There is one reference to Cathars in this document.

The term “Cathars” derives from the Greek word Katheroi and means “Pure Ones”. They were a gnostic Christian sect of tolerant pacifists that arose in the 11th century, an offshoot of a small surviving European gnostic community that emigrated to the Albigensian region in the south of France.The medieval Cathar movement flourished in the 12th century A.D. throughout Europe until its virtual extermination at the hands of the Inquisition in 1245.

There are an ever increasing number of historians and other academics engaged in serious Cathar studies. Interestingly, to date, the deeper they have dug, the more they have vindicated claims that medieval Catharism represented a survival of the earliest Christian practices.

Thank you!
