Are most vegetarians just virtue signaling?

I love Tacos, just not the kind that has the shredded beef in them, those are not very good me thinks.

Awwwwww yummmmm

No, at some point many years ago I got a conscience and felt badly for all the kind innocent creatures who died so I could have a hamburger.

What about the insects destroyed in the farming of your vegetables?

Oh, I have the screenshots

Weren't you the one saying something about purple eyeshadow and nightclubs?

As for accusations - didn't accuse you of anything, merely asked if you were looking for someone to argue with? Some people get off on that. Unfortunately, was married to someone who liked to argue (a form of fighting to me) versus having a conversation or even debate over differing viewpoints, so can usually spot those types of people - whether they are doing it for effect or its part of their true nature isn't always readily apparent.

maybe that was someone else who made the purple eyeshadow post, would have to go back and look and really dgaf enough about it to do so...just screencapped it for myself.

That's why Jains (Hindu sect) don't eat root vegetables because of that very reason.

Logically thinking vegetables are less complex than animals and animals should meet human body needs better. But earth or water is much less complex than vegetables..hmm..it depends on the body of the consumer.

Interesting!

It isnt a moral concern.

No that wasn't me. I replied to that person who posted that and said how would you even know that, meaning it's probably a bunch of BS.

You sound very passive aggressive and so on that note maybe we should just stop talking to each other.

Eating nothing.

It is a tendecy to show appreciation through an imitation behaviour as much as possible.

I think ultimately I chose the lesser evil. I don't want anything to suffer for my momentary satiation.

We as humans all too easily desensitize ourselves to the reality of what we actually do.

I myself love animal souls, I could never violently kill an animal and then proceed to eat it, this is repugnant to me. As a small child I was aware of how truly vicious this was.

Everyone does not have to share in my views, but the facts are there no matter how you spin it.

We have choices to be aware or live with major blinders.

It is a moral concern

Seems there are many people now who are having problems eating any kind of processed food on a regular basis.

Lately, seems the only natural tasting things to be are berries, nuts, fruits, and the teas and smoothies I drink. Used to like eating the only veg/vegan ramen (Top Ramen - oriental flavour, now renamed Soy Sauce flavour or something like that) out there every once in awhile when I knew I needed to eat, but didn't feel like cooking. The last time I made it a couple of weeks ago, it just tasted like salt on noodles and I never even use half of the seasoning package, maybe a 1/4.

Have read several threads on GLP where people are saying food isn't tasting right to them either. Usually only eat one meal and a maybe a snack and that's been reduced to consuming a snack of nuts or fruit maybe and sometimes nothing but liquids. Would think I'd be skin and bones and passing out because of it, but I'm healthier and stronger and gaining muscle easily.

When I go back to eating a regular veg/vegan meal, that's when I start feeling dizzy, but when grazing on nuts, berries, fruit, drinking tea, water, soymilk, ricemilk, and smoothies (sometimes adding nuts butter and protein powder) I feel great, this has been going on for about 3 months now.

So, something seems to be going on with a lot of people not being able to eat regular type meals, always been a grazer when living on my own, but this is even beyond that .... and so many people seem to be experiencing the same, it's interesting.

I could.

Not saying I'd enjoy killing it, and I'd say a little "prayer" for it and thank it for the meat.

But I sure as hell wouldn't starve to death if I had the means to hunt.

That's like giving nature the middle finger.

They are if they make a big deal out of it.

It is.

Innocent life is not created to be taken. Evil consciousness attempts to convince otherwise, but it is not of divine origin - words to that effect are lies.

Normal humans are not born with the feeling to kill other life forms.

There are allusions to this truth in some religious texts, but it is hidden beneath so much man-made and psychopathic inserted dogma.

Do think though that God pointed out a way for primitive humans to kill an animal in the least painful manner, but this was only meant to be a stop-gap measure, not a permanent thing. It was an attempt to get them on the right path forward, but psychopaths used these things as a means of manipulation and control to maintain power over others by keeping them trapped in lowered consciousness, so they can keep them enslaved and keep them from knowing who / what they are and of what they are capable.

such great heights await.

I started having only one meal a day and BP went down, weight melted off.

Something does seem to be going on, on a variety of levels.



perhaps there's some sort of biological process currently occurring in humanity in general that requires extra/better nutrients.

again, i didn't accuse, i asked.

i'm being open and direct, not passive aggressive in the least.

if you say it wasn't you, then there it is. so, i guess that's why you weren't banned, but others were who didn't make statements asserting anything, but due to asking questions.

you don't know me, but i'm not passive nor aggressive (unless under attack and in defensive mode), i am direct and honest as i feel that is the best approach. the only time i would withhold information is when it is being withheld from me and i don't see a reason for it / don't understand why....and that is not passive aggressive behavior, that's waiting for more information / open and honest discussion before initiating a discussion or disclosing what you know. it's the best way to avoid confusion or false accusations, i think anyway. if you know of a better way, please let me know. always open to learning.

I don't care for most vegetarians but to have Satanists be against them.......lol.

They also filter out the microbes in the water because they do not want to kill them.

Now THAT'S extreme.

could be it....

think we are making evolutionary leaps forward, at least some are, hopefully not just some

some people are more in tune with it, i think some people were born with evolutionary leaps because we should have progressed further than we have and these people can have issues functioning in this world due to it's lack of evolution, so a correction is underway which is why a lot of change is going to occur very quickly. positive progress, long overdue.

by progress i do not mean the negative connotation some here have with the word progress / progressives (which in many instances represents negative regression, same as how many instances of conservatives represent negative regression, too)

ok, understand what you are saying.

but if you had another means of survival / eating, would you choose that instead of killing an animal?

humanity didn't survive off of killing animals initially

we were gatherers and we knew what to eat and what to grow to eat

this is even alluded to in many religious texts although it is obfuscated with human created dogma designed to trap and enslave us to keep us under control.

we have so much potential, but it's your free-will choice.

not all Jains do that, i know some who don't

i respect their decision to do so though, it doesn't hurt anyone does it?

drink distilled water at home and have always tried to use either distilled or filtered water whenever i needed to cook something in water....though not doing much cooking now even though i bought what is supposedly the best filter out there a few months ago and haven't used it yet

I have recently been developing an aversion to beef and chicken on some days, not sure why, I didn’t wish for it or anything

I have been going for days without any meat, I just would rather not have it, I’m still eating meat about 2-3 times a week now but not a couple of times daily like I used to, and it’s a lesser portion

I don’t feel like it’s going to make me morally superior or anything, it’s just something changing with my body’s eating preferences, probably related to menopause, lol
