In regards to eating meat

[βαθμιαίος]

I feel joy and gratitude when I pull a carrot. I don't feel any vibe from the carrot that it is being tortured or killed. The plants in my garden all seem very happy to be a part of the cycle of life. I contend that that is their purpose and a natural part of their own evolution.

I would disagree that the carrot doesn't realize that it's being killed. Otherwise, I would say the same about my small herd of cattle.
