Why I Quit Eating Chicken
Dear Friend,
I feel much better now. I made a dietary change, once again.
It's the same one I made before going to China in 1997 to win
the world championship in Shuai-chiao kung fu.
What was that change.
I quit eating chicken.
Now, here's why I quit eating it the first time: When I was dropping
weight for competition, via my now world-famous Furey Fat Loss
System.
one of my goals was that whilst I was dropping weight I needed to
maintain my strength - if not increase it.
Well, after two weeks of training I noted that I was feeling weaker,
and I noted that I felt especially weak after eating "that bird" - aka,
chicken.
I talked to my wife about it and she said, "You need to eat protein that
comes from an animal that is strong. Chickens are weak."
Well, no more needed to be said. I eliminated chicken on the spot and
my body felt great.
On my most recent trip to China I began partaking in mi favorito dish,
lamb, on a daily basis. According to the Chinese eating lamb warms your
system, strengthens your kidneys and helps heal stomach problems, if
you have them. I didn't - but what the heck. By the way, did you know that
the treatment for a dog with stomach problems is the same as the Chinese
suggestion, i.e. put the dog on a lamb-based diet.
Anyhoo, after two weeks of eating mostly lamb as my source of protein,
I ordered an old favorite, kung pao chicken. After eating it I felt awful.
I felt worthless and weak.
So I never ate it again the entire trip. Then, upon my return to the U.S., I
realized, "Damn, restaurants over here don't serve lamb. It's all chicken,
beef and pork."
I went to one of my local hangouts, a Chinese restaurant, and they asked if
I'd like my usual - which was a chicken dish. I told her no - that I no longer
eat chicken. She asks why and I say, "Chickens are stupid - and they're
weak, too. Being stupid can pass if you're strong. But being stupid AND
weak, that doesn't cut it."
She looked at me and laughed, thinking, "Where do I find whackos like
this guy."
I requested lamb, knowing they don't have it. I settled for a Mongolian beef
dish loaded with broccoli.
Last night, in conversation with a friend, I was reminded of an old Jack LaLanne
line I read some 20 years ago, when he described chicken. From what I recall,
he said that chickens are filthy creatures. They eat anything including each
other's
own excrement.
Ah-hah. That proved it, to me at least. That's why I have felt weak after eating
chicken. They're filthy creatures.
Now, you may argue that beef, pork, lamb and other species are also filthy, yet
one thing is for certain - I don't feel weaker after eating them.
In most cases, when you eat beef, pork, etc. - go for the organic meats - esp.
"grass fed beef, etc." If you like to go out to eat, tis not possible, but while
at
home you can eat meat that isn't pumped full of the latest batch of antibiotics,
hormones and such.
One last thing: If you want to keep eating chicken, t'ain't my business and I
really
don't care. I wrote today's message to tell you what this Fure-cat is up to, not
to
convince you to do what I do, or to condemn you for doing what you do. To each
his own.
Kick butt - take names,
