I just deleted a wall of text...I do not want to pick a fight with anyone.
Just one thing, Monica: you are mistaken if you believe that vegan eating is cheaper than meat eating just cause it is for you. If it is so IN YOUR AREA, well, good for you! But here? In Hungary, for example? No way in hell. You are looking at twofold price increase per meal if you want the same variety of eating without meat. At least.
Eggs? 10 eggs now cost around 2 euro. That is 50dkg+ filled turkey/chicken meat (without bone).
The only way one can say he is vegetarian and lives cheaper than a meat eater if he takes out the meat from the sandwitch (yaay? pure carbs?), eats only brown rice for dinner, and adds cheese instead of meat on the table, but that is really a question whether it has become healthier, or just more carb-based. If you are buying beans, soya, etc, then it is astraight-up cost increase.
So personally what I am doing is adding things like sunflower seed instead of breakfast (which is the equivalent of a light fasting at the end of the day), and replacing meat in the dinner with cheese or mushrooms. If eggs would go back to ~1Euro per 10, I would be so, so happy. But they are not -.-
Edit: also, just one tiny thing. If meat eating would be such a serious spiritual crime, at least Ra/Q'uo would have said that it is ILL-ADVISED to eat so.
But instead, I think it is up to every single individual to realize when they do not need heavy food anymore. Simple as that. Freedom of choice. Higher frequency is not "Better" frequency, as one would be led to believe based on this thread. And if it is better frequency, should we go parading around, telling everyone to start reading Law of One instead of morning papers? Right...
