In regards to eating meat

[Patrick]

Imagine you are an American Indian or an Inuit 600 years ago. You kill the animal and thank said animal for sacrificing its incarnation just so you can continue yours. It is indeed a selfish act.

The difference is that, in that case, killing it was necessary for survival.

That's no longer the case.

As far as I know, this is true because of technology.

Which is probably why Ra stated to the extent necessary for the individual metabolism.

I take it to mean that some people really do need to eat meat. And from the research I have done, this seems to indeed be the case.
