Blood Type Influence

Now, we’re getting to the heart of the matter by looking at these various reasons for why we eat what we eat. I believe at a foundational level we’re all influenced by biology and our blood types. For example, type A’s tend toward vegetarian. For me, my blood type 0 as the main influencer in my eating choices. The food that gives me the most energy is lean meat, veggies and fruit which is typical of a type 0 with an excess of stomach acid and an allergy to wheat. Could it be that our values stem from a genetic predisposition to eat certain foods and abhor others? As I’ve analyzed myself, I remember intensely disliking chicken as a child and refusing to eat it. The fact that it was a bird didn’t bother me, but that chickens were gross birds doing and eating disgusting things, and I couldn’t get past it psychologically. Grass eaters on the other hand are clean and eat what is nature has provided-unless their kept in a feed lot and that’s just plain cruel and inhumane and wrong. My food choices are made keeping the smallest “footprint” possible in my use of our natural resources. I compost, reuse, and put back. I think part of our responsibility is to teach others how to be responsible sharers of this small planet, but the answers are not simplistic. The Peace Corp goes to a Third World country to help improve their living conditions and then later are accused by other Americans of wrecking their culture and being imperialistic. No wonder some tend to take an isolationist world stance-we’re damned if we do and damned if we don’t!
