Never thought of any of those reasons. Except the plant thing, plants are cool and number 5. But I still doubt an individual buying from different sources having an impact on his own and I've never been into group things.
Actually, the top reasons I've observed here are: Carla eats meat, Ra told Carla to eat meat, Ra didn't say not to eat meat, animals are 2D just like plants, plants have feelings too, and...the winner! I like bacon!
Quote:“I'd estimate that about 10 to 12 hogs an hour go into the scalding tank conscious. These hogs get up to the scalding tank, hit the water and start screaming and kicking. Sometimes they thrash so much they kick water out of the tank… Sooner or later they drown. There’s a rotating arm that pushes them under, no chance for them to get out. I’m not sure if they burn to death before they drown, but it takes them a couple of minutes to stop thrashing.”

The only "real" excuse would be insensibility toward other-selves.
I am insensible to do it in such an indirect manner but I would not kill an animal myself to feed myself. I also do not think it taints my soul any more than it already is tainted. To be sensible to this, I'd have to balance myself quite a lot in a positive manner.
In term of polarity I am very passive, but I won't deny that it is indifference as I chose to walk the middle path. I have positive/negative leanings never going far any way.
Things may change with some time though, but I am well aware that this Universe can be a truly sad place. Not just this earth.
I do think your passion is commendable from someone who is very passionless.
Edit :
In term of polarity I actually think I've been pulled in many directions by many entities that have opposite expectations of me and I ended up not giving a f*** anymore. There's a war and I'm not partaking in it, just watching it unfold. At least for now... (I do think you were one of the entities pulling me in a direction)
