In regards to eating meat

[Diana]

I don't think eating meat is bad, we where meant to, without our history of eating meat our brain wouldn't have developed to the level it is at now.

I'm not sure of the veracity of this statement. Could you explain?

It's all about the intention. If your intention when eating meat is simply to refuel your body there is no hate involved.

Intention is certainly key. But what about being responsible in your choices? I would add to that, that being aware of what you're doing is equally important: being aware of where your food comes from and how it gets to you.

If being a veggie is a catalyst for you and it is your will at this time then by all means follow it, just don't preach it as a necessity for spiritual matters as that would be extremely hypocritical of the spiritual journey itself.

I don't think anyone here is preaching. We are trying to offer each other different viewpoints. I, for one, have gotten so many different views I wouldn't have thought of. And, Clordio posed the question, which opens the door to discussion.

Nothing tastier then a juicy steak melting in your mouth.

What would you think of your tasty steak if you had to be aware of how it came to you while eating it? Even a humanely raised cow will be terrified to be killed.
