@azrael, one thing, sts is both the controller and the controlled. STO is outside of this realm.

@Monica, you know where I am at on my journey. I would like to know where you stand on inflicting pain on plants. Seriously. Because I feel the same compassion for uprooting and killing a plant as I do killing a deer.
Like I said though, it is what is in my spirit that I try to follow. Somehow, at this moment, I "feel" the addition of animal cell material to my mind/body/spirit is unbeneficial. (non?)
I am thinking that only eating the fruits and nuts that naturally fall from a plant would be the only "kind" method for eating. This would include eggs and milk, IMO. On that note, wouldn't we benefit from human breast milk? We might just bottle that up and all our problems would be solved
