What I'm getting at involves this type of question. Is the poisonous food supply a cause or effect of some lower blockage? I think that by valuing ourselves, certain decisions that on the outside may seem to support something negative, might lead to positive transformations elsewhere, thus supporting collective health. I think it's interesting to consider things non-linearly when it comes to self-acceptance.
I understand your point. But while it may forward self-acceptance, it would also continue to cause cruelty in the world (the effects of human consumption on other life forms and the planet itself). I just can't imagine evolved beings wanting to do this. I feel they would find another way. The overall gain would be questionable.
Wouldn't it be better to provide a good example, while also accepting other people without judging? This has worked a lot in my life (not that I set out to do it). I know several people who no longer kill insects and remove them from the premises instead, because they have seen me do it. I never preached about it or even explained it (unless it was to a friend who asked or here in this forum where we discuss all many of things). They extrapolated their own ideas and had their own feelings about why I did such a thing. Compare this to: I kill life forms (insects) too because it's convenient, and I don't judge anyone else or myself for it; and I accept myself for it because I think it's all one anyway, and this promotes self-acceptance in others. We all eventually evolve to respect life after we love ourselves for who we are and become capable of seeing others as ourselves. Nothing wrong with that (except that I would not do it).
The latter scenario is, in my opinion, not the optimal one.
