Judgment is projected onto others that are not in synch with you or someone's moral standards. That is not just within, though it is true that we may judge ourselves as well.
Case in point: No one feels judged by my tomatoes comment, no matter how much I say it. That's because there's nothing inherently wrong with eating tomatoes. (As I pointed out, any issues regarding harvest have to do with agricultural methods and/or politics, NOT with the actual eating of tomatoes! Tomatoes are karma-free; they are a fruit that falls from the vine.)
Whereas, people feel judged by my meat comments, because there is something inherently wrong with killing and eating animals.
Monica, I think you have been pretty clear about your conviction about the morality of eating meat. People feel judged about eating meat because others believe that it is morally wrong. It comes across pretty clearly in many of the posts.
Just because you believe it is morally wrong, does not make it inherently wrong.
