surely we can aspire to create a more ideal world, but what has our diet got to do with that? animal or vegetable, we must kill to eat. so the problem isn't as much what we eat, but how we eat it. do we appreciate our food? do we respect it? if we don't, we should. if we can love it more, we should. but if we love our food enough not to kill it, WE die. and that's not loving anything, that's disrupting and disrespecting the system in which we play a part.

the difference between you and I is very simple...there is no need for complex logic for me to express myself. your proliferation is required for you to rationalize something abominable.
the difference between you and I is that you are willing to violate, harm, and kill other living beings for some minor fancy--not out of necessity--for some certain taste/texture for a few minutes of eating. mind you there is a big difference in eating fruits or plant foods and animals. as living beings, they all express themselves according to their own nature. you choose not to listen to their voices, but to the (delusional) chain of thoughts in your head.
you just want to argue. youre not trying to learn or improve yourself. so let your own karma be your teacher. what you do to those animals and other living beings will come right back to you in full blown reaction. so there is no point in arguing with each other--other than you needing to express your aggro karmic energy. just chill. there are many faces of the great spirit we will meet as teachers. one is the one who talks and explains nicely. the other is the one who gives your violent karma back to you.
youve pretty much eclipsed the whole thread with this painstaking pedantic style of cripple-dog point by point dullard argument on this one issue. you still cant hide the vampirish, hideous, beast-like quality of your character as you grin, blood-spattered, slicing throats of bound animals, tearing out their inner organs, licking and chewing the stinking guts, and growling at anyone who comes near with a crazed barbarity of bloodlust. im just watching you with disdain from up in a tree, gathering apples and bannanas for my meal
