The act of eating is a service.

[omcasey]

Within the sets of belief I chose to align with, if there was a belief that my stopping to eat meat would actually help improve the way animals are treated, I would stop.

I haven't read the full thread, my apologies, Valtor..

I am just wondering if you are taking a first step toward this.. meaning not participating in the eating of animals you know to be mistreated, such as those which are factory farmed and could be labeled as 'conventional'. We know organically raised farm animals, such as chickens, cows, etc.. are fed a more natural diet, graze opening, and are not given growth hormones which dramatically reduce the quality of their life.. If you are eating meat(s) are you eating/supporting those which you have researched and found to be raised more organically? I don't feel there is anything wrong with eating meat.. my perspective stems more toward health and happiness, of the animal and people kingdoms alike. My being deals more with transitions and transitional ideas, than with static points; which in and of themselves are never in actuality complete, there is always and inevitably a new level / depth of awareness we are moving toward. If only we would consistently cognize it.
