Please, please stop eating meat. | |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22577422 I'm afraid that you are trying to make yourself feel good by getting rid of red meat, but ALL meat is the issue. Most will slam me for even saying this, but chicken and fish are spiritual beings just like us. So eating any animal is wrong, in my view. I have been a vegetarian for over 10 years now. No, I'm not down to "skin and bones". Yes, I'm much healthier than I used to be. I try to eat vegan, but I love cheese too much. I don't believe in the way chickens (eggs) and cows (milk, cheese) are raised and enslaved. Peace Umm no I was simply makng an honest admission about what meat I eat. Are you of the opinion that trees & plants are 'spiritless'? Why would plants respond to emotion and music if they weren't sentient? Why is our entire ecosystem designed around the consumption of living things? Why is the stability of the eco-system designed to be contingent on population control and BALANCE? Is it some how 'wrong' when the animals consume one another, or do we say it's natural and instinctual? Why when humans are entered into the equation does it become an issue of morals and no longer an issue of being natural and instinctual? I have no desire to debate you concerning the whether it is ok to eat animals because we also eat plants. Yes, I believe that ALL living things are spiritual beings. I just consider some spiritual beings at a different levels of spiritual development than others. Enough said there about that. We are here to learn to overcome our instinctual drives and to begin to become more advanced beings that no longer are controlled by our instincts, but by our hearts. The choice is yours. So I guess the moral is that it's okay to consume some sentient, spirit-filled 'beings' but not others? Some sort of spiritual pecking order, right? Yes. Are you baiting me here? Decide for yourself. |

But the it's something totally different than from animals. I don't think they feel pain or suffer when we eat them.

I try to avoid GMO, but it is pretty difficult to discern what is GMO and what isn't GMO these days. In the future, it will become even more difficult to determine. Should I spend all my time worrying about this shit? I take precautions, but I'm not fooling myself. I am going to die regardless of what I eat and there is no guarantee that I will see tomorrow regardless of my eating habits. You regard my 'habits' with some condescension, I feel.

The level of consciousness is different.. it's also different from a fish to a cow for example.. Does a rabbit suffer more when a human kills it, as opposed to a fox? It seems when the fox is involved, it's understood to be natural, but when a human is involved, it's regarded as cruel/unnecessary. I have some difficulty reconciling the distinction that is made between nature's brand of consumption, and that of humans. Have we not separated ourselves from nature, and placed ourselves above the natural order of things? Isn't that what's led us to so many of the problems we have today? Separating ourselves from nature and the natural order of our physical world? Last Edited by ANHEDONIC on 11/29/2012 02:12 PM "Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond to it." |
