I believe in something, therefore I act on it. Period.

that's it.

I find the original arguement in this post to be pretty weak.

By not eating meat a person actually IS making a difference for animals. Less animals killed on my behalf. I also make a difference by not giving money to these large corporations that raise and slaughter animals en masse, with hardly a conscience. Sure I could buy organic, but I think animal products are gross. I didn't eat milk products for the most part throughout my life, so it was easier to become vegan. Cheese makes me vomit. DOWN WITH CHEESE!!!

But overall, it just feels good to be vegan :sunny:

I personally am turning more vegetarian as im more awakened, when i eat red meat now i feel slow and heavy. I still like fish & chicken. Im alot more sensitive to food now and i can feel what vibrates well with my being & what doesnt.

I also have alot more respect for my food now, when i do eat meat i remain conscious that this animal was a living conscious being once and has given up its life to sustain mine, there is nothing wrong with life feeding on life, that is life. Even plants are living things. All food should be consecrated as it is already part of you, long before it reached your stomach.

What we should do is if you want to eat meat, you learn to kill an animal yourself, gut it, skin it, then if you are still hungry you are a meat eater, there is nothing wrong with it. Famrs should be under certain laws (free range) prices rising if necessary. There should be no such thing as non free range! Children should be shown where they're food comes from, from an early age.

I keep saying should, i mean it would be preferable, it would be in our best interests as the human race on this planet earth.

Chickens living in cramped cages for theyre entire life only to be slaughtered is not very compassionate, but consumerism is not compassionate it is greedy, thats just the way it is. We must explore this hollowness of consumerism/materialsim fully.

If cheetas didnt have to catch theyre food i bet they'd be fat bastards!
In the past we had to catch our food, the weak died, the strong survived, evolution. Now the numbers are thinned in many other ways, our over consumerism is slowly killing us off, as it is also slowly killing off our environment, which spells the end for the human species as we are an integral part of our environment.

The prosperity of the past is turning into the suicide of the future.

"Although I have been prevented by outward circumstances from observing a strictly vegetarian diet, I have long been an adherent to the cause in principle. Besides agreeing with the aims of vegetarianism for aesthetic and moral reasons, it is my view that a vegetarian manner of living by its purely physical effect on the human temperament would most beneficially influence the lot of mankind."
