At this close to harvest time it is normal to deal with these things as it approaches 4d understandings (especially compassion)...
The killing of an animal for food or seeing a lion killing a zebra brings compassion to the table (or a shark killing a human?) more than uprooting a carrot and eating it...you see the eyes of the entity being killed...the cow screaming in fear, etc...
It is easier to bring compassion to the table in these situation and with a carrot..well, more difficult.
I t does not seem that even eating vegetables would be appropriate in 4D pos since it is a ray of manifestation as well and food could easily be created. Also, the bodies are different.
All very good points!
Unfortunately, the opportunity for compassion is mostly lost, because most people won't look into the eyes of the cow as it's being slaughtered. They avoid slaughterhouse videos because they're "too graphic" and make them uncomfortable. So they miss that opportunity for compassion.
This is another reason I think it's pointless to talk about whether we should eat carrots. If we can't even get people to acknowledge the suffering of cows, who shriek in pain, what hope do we have of them feeling compassion for carrots?
