LOL You are very on about "STS" finger-pointing which makes the argument laughable to me.
I don't think anything is really, truly a necessity in life. I could let myself die if I wanted to. I could kill if I wanted to. So what?
We will never agree because there are fundamental beliefs about the nature of reality which we do not share. The only difference is that I am not trying to "convert" you.
Also, sure, it is different between animals and plants, but isn't the wisdom to know what feels natural a big part of awakening to self-knowing? As I have already said to you, I follow what feels right to body, mind and spirit and although you may perhaps convince me, who knows, I don't feel guilty about my dietary choices.
I would add that I can't imagine it does any more for the animal for it to be eaten by maggots.
