Did Entities Eat Meat Before The Veil ?

[Diana]

Animals and plants both live and die and they do so in many different ways even among themselves. Whatever you take from them and consume is a matter of death. The cells you remove die because they are no longer integrated with their parent body. They may continue living for awhile and we see this as 'better'. Eat food that's still alive! That's way less horrific than consuming dead entities...

So, I feel that either way I am working with suffering. However, it's not all doom and gloom, because I know that everything that dies lives again and everything that lives will die. I will die, you will die, we will all die and then we will experience life.

In the human body 50 billion and more cells die every day. The human body is fine with this. If you take a leaf from a lettuce plant, the plant is fine. So it is debatable that the plant suffers by sharing itself for food. Plants have been "designed" that way anyway with seed propagation to be eaten. I will separate this idea from factory-farmed plants, where the pants may indeed suffer.

One may not cut the leg off a cow for food and not harm the cow. There IS a difference here. Or is this observation completely arbitrary?
