Vegetarian Era

 


By brother initiate David Brooks, Perth, Australia

French authorities recently seized 100,000 bottles of wine, which had been "purified" with dried slaughterhouse blood. They also seized one ton of dried blood. The reason for the seizure was the risk of consumers contracting "mad cow disease" from the wine. Of course as practitioners, we don't drink wine, but at least I had always thought of wine as vegetarian. As I read that piece, I thanked Master twice, for getting both meat and wine out of my diet!
