You act as though I have never met a plant or a cow. I assure you, my lack of urge to in any way damage the natural bodies (unless requiring the removal of already dead or severely diseased part to salvage the whole) of plant or animal is the same. However, I love to pick berries and fruit. Nuts are debatable since they are seeds in themselves and so when you eat them you usually destroy the information of the seed itself, whereas with fruit the seeds generally pass through the system. I usually am not in to nuts unless they are mixed with other things or are chocolate.
I could just live on chocolate. That would be worthwhile to me.
Although, I will admit for myself that I would probably have an easier time killing a human who was using their life for creating pain in others than I would killing an animal to eat it. In necessity, you gotta do what you gotta do but fortunately there aren't usually those kinds of situations in modern life.
In any and all situations of taking life force from anything else it is paramount, in my mind, to be full of love, appreciation and gratitude for what life you are receiving. I mean in reference to eating.
