BUT when one is doing what one knows is right, wether it is food, money, shopping, whatever, one feels better and more in 'tune' with whatever they hold as an ideal. I don't honestly think there is a valid argument for meat eating. that is my thought, which i don't have a bunch of data to back up, just how i feel. spiritually, it does seem to me that across the globe and time, not eating meat, even for just a short time, is seen as aliging oneself with the 'god' of that system. i do wonder what truth that holds for us. and in the past some cultures were very much aware of the sacrifice the animal made for them. my biggest reason for not eating meat? no animal, not us, not a cow, not a chicken says, yah, i am willing to die, have my children die, my parents die perhaps my whole family die, for you, for any reason. and most certainly not because you like the taste of meat. and i am anemic, and have been for a long time. eating meat has never helped. i have more energy NOT eating meat. just my thoughts. thank you all for the conversation, for thinking, for taking time to question. i hope your journey takes you places above what you have ever dreamed possible.
