The act of eating is a service.

To All,

I really hope that no one thinks that I deliberately attempted to reopen a wound of contention here in the community by posting that omnivorous thread, which ultimately led to this one.

I stated right form the first post that my intention was simply to try to open a new thought on the entire matter by discussing the aspect of desensitivity of human social patterns which I believe to be the root of the problem in the first place.

I am in agreement with Monica here that disagreement is to be expected and is a natural ingredient of minds colliding in thought and speculation. if we are going to end every discussion as soon as a disagreement manifests, than we will not be able to discuss anything except those things that we are all in agreement on. and that will only allow for a very few topics.

I must be extremely careful about voicing my opinion as I do not want to be banned from this community, but in my humble opinion I do think it is time for the moderators to take a second loo0ok at the guidelines and possible make some rearrangements for the sake of the evolution of this community.

Having said that, that is as far as I am comfortable going. I will refrain at this time from further discussion on any thoughts around personal dietary practice until such a time as the mods make it clear what is tolerated. Its obvious that discussion on tolerance is needed among them.
