In regards to eating meat

[Meerie]

Thanks Aaron for sharing the Kryon quote… in fact I was thinking of that too, but could not find it in the moment.
Yes @ndy I agree about pulling the leaves out of plants… there are scientists who have proven that plants can feel pain too.
Honestly, don’t you think that the wheat feels pain when it gets run over and plucked out by the harvester? Don’t you think the apple would rather stay on the tree, instead of being plucked and munched by you? Plants are living beings and as such feel pain. Just you don’t see blood being shed therefore you think it does not matter.
Personally I think as long as we are here on this planet and need to eat in order to survive, we will always tread on some beings toes.
You know the die-hard vegetarian I mentioned earlier killed a mosquito that was biting her the other day. I said “well that is an animal too, so how come you have no scrupule killing it “. She said it was different with mosquitos Lol.
You will always step on ants and bugs while walking the ground and thus kill them.
I am just offering a different view here. Actually I tried to go vegetarian (hear hear!) but I just found I could not exclude things from my diet categorically. If I want meat I eat meat. If I want salad I eat salad. If I want coffee I get some. Hell yeah I even smoke and drink coke (But not all the time)
I think you can eat, drink and smoke (LOL) everything but not exclusively. I am healthy and I do not need to take any medication. I listen to my body and it feels good.
If being vegan /vegetarian and healthy is possible for you, congratulations! Personally I see many fruit and veggie people here at the local organic grocery store who look emaciated, prematurely aged and have thinning hair (yes even the women sometimes)… I just wonder if their lifestyle is so healthy how come they look so bad? But in the end it is a choice every one has to make for himself / herself.
If it makes you happy it can’t be that bad. Peace.
