Why I am not a vegan

[Diana]

i did it bc i thought the words in the image u attached were insensitive, & even obnoxious,

They were facts concerning commercial animal farming.

bc i don't think all meat is all of those things. i was being sarcastic bc according to your image i did eat all of those things even though the cow i ate wasn't ever in pain, wasn't traumatized, wasn't slain, wasn't in horror, stress, murdered, mess, voiceless, caged, raged...i thought it was a bit much.

If you are going to be sarcastic, please be clear about that. We are communicating with words only and nuances such as sarcasm may be lost if you are not very careful with your writing.

How do you think most people would react if you talked about babies or children that way? As concerns other-selves, humans are not the only beings.

here's an excerpt from Carla's blog that she posted on the 25th for the fun of it,

The food was so bad in the hospital that I learned a shortcut to Frisch's Burgers and that was our first stop on the way home. We went through the drive thru and Carla happily munched on a Buddy Boy Burger as we headed to the promised land of home.

Your point? If Carla does it, it must be ok? Have you made Carla your guru? If so, that is a disservice to Carla, because she has stated repeatedly that she doesn't wish to be anyone's guru.

I agree with Monica here. I personally make NO ONE my guru. I think for myself and do not follow anyone else, nor do I make anyone else responsible for my decisions. While I respect the work Carla has done for the amazing Ra material, I do not align with supporting an industry that not only sustains cruelty motivated by greed, but also is destroying the rain forests to graze cattle for one or two seasons at the most (then they cut down more rain forest for more grazing land).

I am compelled to reiterate here (for the zillionth time) for those who argue that eating plants is the same as eating animals, eating animals consumes more plant life than we would have to take if we were just eating the plants. Can't anybody even do the math here???????

i have 2 gurus: monica & diana. i'll never eat meat again. once a year is too much

I assume you are trying to make a joke here? I don't appreciate it if serious; and I don't appreciate it if sarcastic.

Please leave me out of your abstruse comments. On the other hand, if you would like to honestly address an issue with me, with no mind games, I welcome it.
