In regards to eating meat

[Monica]

Good article about not feeling deprived as one changes one's diet gradually.

For raw fruits and vegetables are LOVE that you ingest. And you start to feel this raw love radiating in every cell of your body. And it makes you very happy just to be alive.

I don't hear insects enter the argument much. What is the consensus about eating insects? Is this slaughter?

I doubt that there is a consensus. I dunno. I've never eaten an insect...at least not knowingly! It's really a non-issue since most people (Americans anyway) are likely to be squeamish about eating insects.

I sure am friends with bees and earthworms...I wouldn't dream of eating them. I was horrified to find recipes for eating worms in a book about worm composting. (I have a worm composter...I raise a colony of earthworms and consider them pets! Though not cuddly like the dogs and cats in my family, haha.)
