In regards to eating meat

[Monica]

Yes. Taking more of a stance, investing actual emotion into a concept. I was baffled at first watching Unity.

I have felt a shift since 11-11. But that's for another thread...

Man, this thread grows fast...

But seems to go nowhere!

I think I'll join in again.

By divine design, humans need to eat. We have to eat something.

1) Consumption is part of many plant's reproduction/survival system, and hence encouraged
2) Sending gratitude to the plant before consumption is proven to nullify any response
3) Animals have emotions (fear), and a nervous system (pain)
4) Animals will avoid being consumed at all costs

It's quite simple - we either eat something that offers itself to being eaten, or we eat something that fears being eaten. Or both! We get to choose.

Trying to justify one's self regarding the consumption of meat, by using plants as a counter argument, holds no valid ground. Let's be honest, it's ridiculous. Ridiculous to such a degree that the discussion has managed to escalate to the use of petrol :¬)

If someone wants to eat meat - eat it! That's an entirely valid choice. The perpetual and rather non-sensical parallels being drawn with regards to eating plants however, is fruitless (pun intended)!

Can we all hug and get on with it?

Thanks Namaste!

...for saying what I was thinking but refrained from saying for fear of not being politically correct. :-/

Now can I close the thread?
