You can eat plants without killing them, and in fact, it helps them. Fruits and vegetables contain seeds that, if processed naturally, end up back in the environment and that is how they propagate. Of course, modern plumbing is the bane then of fruits and vegetables, but truly, fruits and vegetables have evolved to be eaten by animals. I think we really need to get over the idea that just eating plants causes harm.
Someone pointed out recently that this is probably referring to raw vegan, which makes sense - only consuming things at their most vibrantly alive, as in, picking an apple from the tree and eating it immediately, like animals do in nature. It could possibly even mean a preference to eat animals while they are still alive, and therefore the meat is fresh - as they do in nature. Ra does make statements about how unappealing the meat we eat that is weeks old is.
Your premise is a bit of a strawman, because what we are talking about is how our beliefs about food cause physical ailments. If you are experiencing more than minor, temporary discomfort from the food you are eating, then something is not working in the link between the mind and the body. I'm sure most people would feel like they were "punishing" themselves by eating such pills, as our society has for a long time staunchly equated any sort of fasting (diet) as a punishment for the gluttony of the self. This can cause repression, which then loops itself into an endless cycle. Extreme martyrdom also leeches vital energy, that's why Ra said it was important for Carla to balance pleasure from eating with eating what is healthy for her body, because she was prone to extreme martyrdom.
The fact is, eating meat and dairy is what is making people feel sick! That's the great bamboozle! Oh yeah, eating beans makes you gassier - so what? At least your intestines aren't putrefying with the waste material that your body is desperately struggling to turn into nutrients. At least your immune system starts working again because you're not constantly fighting the pus and parasites that are contained in aged byproducts from extremely stressed animals.
I understand very richly the social implications if one goes vegan. It's also another part of awakening, though. I know it can't be forced. I'm just trying to offer that annoying catalyst that helps people find a less distorted way of being, that may then in turn help their physical and mental health. Yes, a lot of stuff that I have to say is emotional in nature, but it's fact, and some people just need to hear someone clearly state "Dairy is actually not healthy for you and it desperately hurts those from which it comes" at least a few times, to undo all of the brainwashing that has been so thoroughly successful.
Quote:43.18 Questioner: The mechanism of, shall we say, social catalyst due to a necessity for feeding the body then is active in fourth density. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is incorrect. The fourth-density being desires to serve and the preparation of foodstuffs is extremely simple due to increased communion between entity and living foodstuff. Therefore, this is not a significant catalyst but rather a simple precondition of the space/time experience. The catalyst involved is the necessity for the ingestion of foodstuffs. This is not considered to be of importance by fourth-density entities and it, therefore, aids in the teach/learning of patience.

Quote:[84.2]We were, in the cautionary statement about complex protein, referring to the distortions of the animal protein which has been slaughtered and preservatives added in order to maintain the acceptability to your peoples of this non-living, physical material. It is well to attempt to find those items which are fresh and of the best quality possible in order to avoid increasing this particular entity’s distortions which may be loosely termed allergic.

Quote:[80.10]It is also to be noted that an adept is one which has freed itself more and more from the constraints of the thoughts, opinions, and bonds of other-selves. Whether this is done for service to others or service to self, it is a necessary part of the awakening of the adept. This freedom is seen by those not free as what you would call evil or black. The magic is recognized; the nature is often not.
