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

This is exactly why I believe this person is just trolling and misrepresenting jains buddhists and hindu, or certain subsects of these religions

your thesis needs some work. I don't know the answer. But god put animals here to provide nutrients in many ways. I think this is a safe asumption.

Breeding herding and murdering them is another story.

We know nothing of our connection with nature. Time to learn again ;)

lol buddy, what are you doing?? he is intelligently refuting your thought.

c'mon man, you're only fighting yourself here.

I just dono bout this. Then again I make my living as a butcher. Probably a bit biased. But I always feel great after eating self cut meats from legitimate farmers. Not grocery store meats, that stuff is just no good.

Even darwinists wouln't make this arguement. Meat was instrumental in our evolution as humans. Vital nutrients helped our brains develop. Or maybe you went to bed without dinner, I don't know

i enjoyed plenty of meat in my younger years, I cannot testify to it's necessity in our evolution, I can state that I notice dramatic improvements in my own health, energy, thought processes and spirituality since giving it up.

i use less energy than you and I imagine I have more available to me, I don't want to get into a pissing contest with you but look how friggin negative you've been here?

Full of anger and frustration you are.

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.

just....wow...what a load of fancy daydreams!!! There is no basis whatsoever to think that an emotion felt by a plant or animal prior to death has any impact upon its own cells or affects the way said cells affect a person that consumes them. Cells are not conscious. A slab of beef on my plate does not know if i have thanks it or not. Neither does a stalk of celery. If you want to believe in fairytales fine, i will enjoy my beef tonight!

Growth always. The universe loves growth.

Intelligence shows meat is very high in essential fats, proteins, amino acids, chains, compounds that are difficult to attain in, say, a dramatic situation from your environment.

Is it the right way given our hyper-perspective paradigm of information we are living in right now? Maybe not.

But are we capable of really acting in the most intelligent way given all we have recently learned?

Was it not necessary at one point when information was limited, for survival at a basic level?

Questions...

if im not meant to eat meat why do i have canine and incisor teeth made for that job?

This will be my 6th Sunday dinner with my Mother that does not contain meat. She's gotten very creative and come up with some good new dishes for us to try.

That means I've been conducting my experiment of not eating meat for a little over a month now.

What I've gathered thus far:

It seems everyone has a problem with this concept. Friends, family, food servers, random people on a forum somewhere..
I have no idea why its such a big freakin deal. Why ridicule and harass people that aren't eating meat.

People have an ADDICTION to meat. Their react the same way a smoker would if you took their cigarettes.

Personally.. it has been so easy. SOOOOOO easy. A month of "other" stuff has been the biggest non-issue in my life. Whoopty-freakin-do

There is a discussion to be had. Why is it that a meal isn't complete without a dead animal on the table. So weird.

My experiment has saved me money. Meat is expensive.

It's also been a big deterrent from eating out. Again.. saving money. Eating smaller portion sizes.. controlling quality etc..

You have got to admit.. meat filled with antibiotics and hormones, raised in awful conditions, processed in awful ways with nasty chemicals, by poorly educated people.. is nasty.

and this:

I am totally happy with you continuing to think this way. please also continue consuming soda, pharmaceuticals and tv, sleep with your cell phone next to your head and drink up the tap water!

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.

Are animals wrong for eating meat?

This! Are they?

adorable how when you have nothing to contribute to a debate you make broad sweeping generalities that are not based in truth. I do not watch tv. I do not take drugs, except for ibuprofen when i absolutely must. My phone does not live by my head and my water is filtered. You really couldnt be more wrong. I also gave up pop. So what next? It doesnt change the fact that all you have is an odd food fetish whereby you seem to feel immense guilt at eating food that you percieve to be tainted.

give up meat and you'll see the next step....

good for you on the other stuff.

honestly though, you and your posts seem pretty shilltastic... but if you're indeed human I hope you decide to venture past your comfort zone to experience different aspects of life. try fasting, try some psychotropic drugs, expand past your need to feed on death.

Thank you I am very human. I am not shilltastic, just grounded in logic and reality. Emoto is indeed afraud, there is not scientific basis for what you propose. All you can do is push your beliefs on others. As for psychotropic drugs, I have no desire for them, nor do i desire to change my diet. I have medical issues that mean i do not get my nutrients very well from pills form as in supplements, and indeed any changes in my diet from the norm causes me pain and discomfort. I am very very happy being as i am and doing as i do. I am not less enlightened than you because I dont believe what you do. I believe that what my body does and is is no reflection on how my soul will fare in the afterlife. I think whatever path you are on if it makes you happy, just dont try to guilt others by telling them they are eating death!!

You are not all you say you are, your energy has the color of deception.

be well.

your post and reasoning skills are proving my point.
