I wanted to comment that simply being vegetarian does not make one person more spiritual then the other.

Of course not, Oddang, I agree, vegetarianism is sometimes a consequence of a spiritual Outlook, sure not a cause.
Although a fit body may improve mental fitness, it is told.
I turned veggie for health reasons, not for spiritual reasons. I suddenly realized that meat was the wrong food for me and my health improved dramatically when I switched.
I also remember I loved fishing but eventually quit to catch and eat fish because I couldn't stand the expression of the eyes of the dying fish. That fish did nothing to me and I did not really need it for survival.
We all have done things for various reasons. Yes though... initially i did become a vegetarian for spiritual reasons. I did not believe that "simply being a vegetarian/vegan would make one person more spiritual then another". Rather; i believed
it would make me more spiritual and less restless so I could open up to more spiritual experiences. Which for me has proven to be true. Diet does affect your mental states, emotions and physical state. Over the years it has become very apparent to me by watching people with different diets and their health, attitudes and behavior.
