In fact the star of the show should be the vegetables according to Dr. Mark Hyman.
I agree, it is sad to kill mindlessly and cruelly.
I just read some more from the section on meat about global warming and studies between carnivores and vegetarians... A few experts I hope to continue to share here to address the issues in your initial post. Regenerative farming is offered as a solution to global warming.
I would be curious to read the link between meat eaters and restlessness... You will see in the following excerpts that there are many other factors to consider- surely there exist restless and/or obese vegans/vegetarians.
I've heard accounts of levitating monks, of interdimensional travel, communicating with angels or ET's, of telepathy being an ordinary feat... I believe them. I have experienced these things too. I think of where we want to reside with our consciousness, and think being a vegetarian is a way to help "raise ones vibration." Literally lightening the attachment to denser matter.
This is just my opinion. Aside from that, the compassion for life is probably the most noble. Truly a remarkable feat and a fulfilling expression.
@Steve, thanks for quoting the bible. Out of curiosity, do you believe everything in the Bible? I'm not sure I do. And I should tell you I've had Christians quote bible verse showing me why it's okay to eat meat.
For me there is one perfect scripture...
From the ten sufi principles...
"There is One Holy Book, the sacred manuscript of nature, the only scripture which can enlighten the reader."
http://spiritualportal.net/index.php/topic,5495.0.htmlNo I do not. But if a so called Christians quoted me parts in the Bible that reinforce eating meat I would simply say to them that they are ignoring the first quote from (supposedly) God himself; “And God said behold I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of the Earth and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed,
to you it shall be for meat Then I would simply follow up with this question; Does God contradict himself?
Here is one among others I’ve absorbed….
Natural living ; SriYukteswar; “We find that when extraordinary means such as excessive fasting, scourging, or monastic confinement are resorted to for the purpose of suppressing the sexual passions this means seldom produce the desired effect. Experiment shows, however, that man can easily overcome these passions, the arch enemy of morality by natural living on a non-irritant diet above referred to thereby men gain
calmness of mind which every psychologist knows is the most favorable to mental activity and a clear understanding as well as to a judicial way of thinking.”
