Cheers Tom,
Do you just write stuff or do you actually pay attention to what you are
writing?
You claim that you do not believe that you are more spiritually advanced
than others
but then go on to prattle that anyone who eats meat cannot be compassionate
in the
'TRUE' sense.
Judging by your diet, I'd say it's not working.

Well in every sence if you are a vegetarian you take away the potential food
of another cow or pig or what have you. The space that your cabbage was
grown on could have been used for another animal rather than for your
benefit...that food that was being grown could have been used for the animals
benefit rather than raping the ground of that plant for the ever powerful
human consumption. How "truly" compassionate is THAT? Why not culture your
food in your own homes instead of buying commercialized, atmosphere polluting
industrial fruits and vegetables? The method companies use to culture,
harvest, preserve and distribute their product is harmful to everything
around them. They damage the earth they grow on, they add chemicals to the
food we eat before and during procession, they add harmful chemicals to the
air everyone breathes, their wastes are dumped into oceans and lakes. This
waste is consumed by the aquatic life and then consumed by people anyway.
Take a look at you local CAN of anything not meat product...ask yourselves
how it got there and then think how compassionate to ANYTHING that process
is?
Humans are ominvores...OMNI keyword here meaning MANY....we eat many
different things. We have incisors not for their looks, we have molars not
just to take up space. Even primarily carnivoric animals in the wild use
vegetables and grasses sometimes. How many people that eat only one
category of food have to take supplements for nutrients they miss from the
foods? I don't eat red meat at all, not for ethical reasons, and i have to
take iron and protein supplements. I eat a bizillion pounds of leafy greens
and all that and it doesnt seem to matter, red meat has the bulk of these not
matter how you look at it. Why deprive your bodies of these nutrients. My
body rejects red meat which is why i dont eat it, makes my stomach sick and i
usually winds up leaving the way it entered (attempt at nongraphicaness), but
i eat chicken and fish still. I'm sure this is not the case with every
vegetarian here.
And please noone send me a message saying that the reason I get sick from
red meat is that we are not supposed to have it anyway and the body is
rejecting the impurity of it and the reason i can eat white meat is because
of a built tolerance. I've heard that all before and don't believe a word of
it. And it isn't what you put in your mouth that makes you compassionate it
is how you treat what you eat and the respect you have for it as another
living organism.
