Why I am a Vegan

[Diana]

i only posted bc last night i was reading thru tilting book where Carla was talking about diet & read this:

JIM: Remember what Jesus said about diet?
Carla: Um . . . what did Jesus say about diet?
JIM: “Man is defiled by what comes out of his mouth, not what goes into it.” [6]
Carla: That’s true. He said that. Good one.

then i felt compelled to share it with matt before realizing verse was from matt. neat sync i thought.

I have read the bible through. It's chock full of contradictions. To see it, one only needs to read the Ten Commandments and the few pages following where after saying "Thou shalt not kill," God spells out when it is okay such as when a son talks back to his parents.

Everyone has their blind spots, and in my opinion food was one of Carla's. She was a beautiful and giving person, but I feel there was a disconnect with food which probably did not help her health situation (such as eating fast-food burgers), and did not address animals as beings—other than pets—deserving of our compassion. Of course, this is my opinion only.
