In regards to eating meat

[Monica]

?? You took what I wrote in 2 sentences to decide that I am not only dissociating, but ignoring torture and slaughter?

Only in that one post. You responded to my post, in which I talked about what happens to the animals, with some comments about what is happening in your body, and a focus on eating. You seemed to have missed the point I was trying to make.

I realize now that my statement deviated from my normal practice of never addressing something someone is doing personally. For that, I apologize! I was trying to illustrate what we meant by disassociation, and you gave what appeared to me to be a perfect example, so I seized it and pointed it out.

Are you saying that I nourish my body by torturing and killing animals?

I'm not saying anything about you personally. I'm saying that anyone who eats dead animals, cannot escape the fact that the animals were killed, and in most cases, tortured. Even those who say they buy 'humanely raised' meat, probably eat in restaurants sometimes, so they too are eating meat that came from animals who were tortured.

Thus, the 'nourishing' of the body, was bought at a price, that was paid by the animals.

It's not a judgment. It's simply a fact.
