I'm a carnivore however I find the killing, and human consumption, of plants life is not only way easier on a "I can do that" basis, it's healthier, AND you can eat way more.... <br /><br />I AM learning... but everyone tends to forget that even a plant has a life, and what that plant does for our lives, before we ingest it, is not only amazing... it's a miracle. They are truly the only non-violent life source. Most plants are "the only living things that consumes non-life(elements/gas and chlorophyll, but even they have their rogues...aka the Venus Flytrap) in order to live", thus making the rest of us...killers.<br /><br />So strain a gnat to swallow a camel, but call a spade a spade... it is what it is... there is a circle of life. The cheetah doesn't live without the gazelle, everyone honors and almost worships "nature" but yet they are so unwilling to accept that they are part of nature. What we are doing with fossil fuels is far worse than killing and consuming an animal, in my opinion. But, I feel you, "free range" is way high on my list these days... eat an animal that had a great life, and ONE bad day rather than the unfortunates who are "bred to die". That being said, if someone else wasn't killing it for me to eat, could I kill it? I don't know, I've never had to. All bets are off if that changes. All we are given in this life is a gift. We have all felt it when we eat... a delicious red bell pepper, a savory piece of range free turkey, or a cold cup of Italian ice on a hot day. Everything needs to eat to live and, unfortunately, it usually is at the demise of another.. a vegetable, an animal, ... and there is the miracle. Life gives to life. So DANG IT!!!

But that's blasphemy to too many people, I don't know why; I never said we were God's mistake. <br /><br />My curiosity lately is how I read about global obesity rising on the same page I read about world poverty. <br /><br />Sorry you're in a mood, but I understand. It's certainly easy to be overwhelmed with humanity's deep shame and countless faults. <br /><br />Don't let it get you down, it does enough damage as it is!ingridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04712353333013047156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2449634081595465612.post-42905289793968569062011-02-15T14:07:33.191-08:002011-02-15T14:07:33.191-08:00Humans are the only hunters who kill when not hung...Humans are the only hunters who kill when not hungry."<br /> - - STEVEN SPIELBERG<br /><br />"Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet." --- ALBERT EINSTEIN<br /><br />"If man wants freedom why keep birds and animals in cages?
