A Friendly Conversation: Exploring Omnivorous vs. Vegetarian Diet

[ocean50]

Honestly, I do not know what to do at this point. I keep running into walls with those around me that refuse to look at their food eating habits, and I do not see a way around it other than bringing it up again and again - that would create even more resistance towards the subject.

I guess the only way to do this is really the peaceful one for me: keep exercising, stay in better and better shape and be an example of how one can stay fit even without meat. (Also, donate, but to whom? I cant donate to lessen the pain and restriction on those poor animals.)

I fully understand Oldern. All we can really do is be the change ourselves. I feel it's a personal decision, and some people just aren't ready to accept certain things. I've found lately, that people have been quite intrigued and receptive to vegetarianism. When I tell them why, (health, cruelty, oneness, etc) I can see them thinking about it. They must come to the decision for themselves. I firmly believe if everyone watched just even one youtube clip on factory farming, etc, they would all kinda freak out. Ignorance is truly bliss at times.

Those videos are designed to increase the drive in the heart chakra.

Not a good thing to watch if the heart chakra is already in overdrive.

Interesting Pickle. I've never thought of that. Maybe I'm in overdrive, because I got tears in my eyes just watching that video clip. That's not typical of me.
