Eating meat may be nice for the physical body but it is killing your spirit.

bulshit, your soul may need different healing than someone elses, saying your diet will greatly benefit anyone on that level is like saying your cough syrup will help with someone elses broken leg

The deer I ate last night felt no fear. Peacefully eating to dead.
Dropped were it was shot. No following the blood trail.

It suffered none. I did not betray it. And we said blessing over our meal.

My family has eaten this way for centuries. My soul is at peace. And I am thankful for the nourishment. And for the nourishment provided to my children. To suggest there is something wrong with this is ignorance of the spirituality of this way of life.

no, animals are not. Are you on that lvl?

no, animals are not. Are you on that lvl?

Hey op do you use oil at all\/?

I do, sometimes for cooking, sometimes just straight up for the fat/calories.

As I suspected, you have nothing to stand on. Troll thread

If you have ever driven a car, your whole thread is void. Actually computers wouldn't exist without animals.. So why are you here?

I agree with your post but you are suggesting that I am imposing a specific diet on people....

simply. don't. eat. another. animal. you. don't. NEED. to.

telling someone not to eat meat because it makes -you- feel good is in fact imposing your diet on others, because that implies that you are implying that everyone should do it because it has this effect on -you-

I can appreciate your sentiment and I accept that this is how you wish to live your life....

but do you think that deer had no siblings? nothing that cared about it? What about their pain? If you die in your sleep, painlessly, would you still leave pain behind? Of course, your family would feel the pain of your loss.

do what you will my friend, feel how you will feel, but it is not free, so don't lie to yourself.

I respect your point and I can indeed admit that I do cause waste, use resources and consume oxygen.

I however am in the process of converting my diesel into bio-diesel, I use only solar in the summer and I use less than 2 gallons of water daily.

I am taking the steps to improve my life and life around me.

you are trolling a thread 'cause you don't like what I have to say.

time to step up your game buddy.

do you kill for fun? Let's assume your answer is no...

why not?

Because it serves no purpose and you do not need to.

why do you eat meat when you nutrition could be maintained WITHOUT suffering.

if i was suggesting that you not eat, I might be a charlatan. but I am suggesting you simply stop supporting death because it's convenient or habit.

Here you go OP

remember that next time you are self rightiously cutting your raw tomato

At least the animal I eat is already dead.

By your own logic your spirit was sacrificed for new age philosophy. Pathetic really, you should have thought this out

Just quit my week of vegan diet because I wanted to feel human again. Not eating meat and eggs makes you weak! The energized and reborn feeling that vegans and vegetarians want you to believe is a myth. You feel like a zombie. And now I'm convinced that meat and eggs are needed by humans.

God placed animals here on this Earth for humans to eat.

you're grasping at straws now, nice chatting with ya.

Do not worry my friend her siblings do not miss her, she was the last of the group. And no it is not free, the task of learning to live as my family does is full of cost. By of all of the ways to provide complete protien without leaving my land this is the best. The utmost care is taken to be very accurate hunters so animals do not suffer, and game is never wasted,

If it makes you feel better I don't eat my chickens, but from your posts you would say I stole their offspring since I have a few rosters too.

Goodbye, your thread was undone by a few people. You have not the capacity to think on glp level

moron

a bump for every one star! keep em comin' guys...

Even if you're raising your own animals and treating them with the utmost respect until the day you kill them, that animal experienced some sort of fear/pain/trauma from the fact that something that cared for it is not slaughtering it for it's body.

yes plants are alive too and if you were to disrespect a plant before consuming it, you would experience that as well, though the degree of pain/trauma would be less.

blessing your food helps but that pain is stored deep inside the tissue of what you eat.

sure your body may be healthy, but your soul is weakened when you consume another animal.

so a nice balance would be to find where your body is happy and healthy and your soul is lifted instead of weighed down by what it consumes.

when I ate meat, I never ate a burger that was happy about being eaten.. but i do get that sensation from eating spinach and carrots after I have thanked them.

food for thought.

that is an interesting study and I do agree with your point, the tomato is aware it is being eaten....

how much energy do you think it takes to make that one tomato compared to the same amount of meat on an animal?

I am self-righteously, as you put it, suggesting that you weigh what you take from this world, with what you give, a vegetarian uses SO MUCH LESS ENERGY than a carnivore.

Nice debate though, I appreciate a good argument.

thanks for the bump!

PETA = People Eating Tasty Animals !
