Ahhhhh! I see what happened. Don't have time to reply fully right now but my post was not a response to Bring4th_Monica (#510) or Pickle (#511). When I started writing my reply those hadn't gone up yet, so I never saw them. (Not that you both aren't welcome to respond to mine- just clarifying!)
My primary intention with the post was to point out when and how the idea of vegetarianism was born. (I love tracing an idea back through time to its roots.) The secondary intention was to argue that a strict doctrine of harmlessness is untenable, therefore to philosophically base vegetarianism on this doctrine is also untenable.
In retrospect, I should have ended the post after #1 and #2 and saved the health discussion for a different post.
