First of all, I'm not mad. I'm just writing in an animated fashion. Call it "passion" if you like. Second of all, I wasn't really responding to you with my post, but more so to Pickle. But be as that may...
No freakin way. I don't believe it. Your own quotes and Pickle's are *maybe* debatable, but not yossarian's. No way. Those quotes clearly indicate that everybody should be a fruitarian. A fruitarian!
There was a guy in naturopathic school I knew who was a fruitarian. He was very tall, with a sallow complexion, brittle nails, and sunken in eyes. He liked to go around telling everybody how fruitarianism was the "one true way". He graduated, and became a doctor. A doctor. Advising others with severe illnesses how to eat.
He got stomach cancer. I can only wonder how his patients held up under his "expert advice".
Beyond that- they are in the very beginning of the thread... so I think those are the types of comments most people are responding to when they come into this thread. As I was.
Monica- I truly mean this as a service and not a personal "attack" but I have noticed that you have a tendency to get "weary" or "tired" in a thread whenever a point is brought up that demonstrates a glaring contradiction in your words. Just an observation to ponder as you will.
Beyond this- you have stated multiple times in this thread that you are just "trying to understand" how a spiritually-inclined person can reconcile meat eating with their beliefs. I have seen very intelligent and well-thought out replies by multiple people, including (but not limited to) Ali Quadir, wintersun, fairyfarmgirl, Richard, irpsit, Whitefeather, Lorna, thefool, litllady, Bring4th_GLB, Bring4th_Aaron, Bring4th_Steve, Pablísimo, Meerie, Namaste, @ndy, transiten, kycahi, abridgetoofar, TheEternal, and myself.
Each of these people has offered very thoughtful and genuine replies. Yet- you appear just as "confused" as you were three years ago. My apologies- I mean no offense- but this causes me to be a bit incredulous about your stated desire "to understand" where others are coming from. Seems to me that you have already decided that a spiritually-inclined person eating meat is "not understandable" to you, no matter what they say.
Sorry, but I am calling BS. I don't think you really want to understand this.
