Marry forever and happily kiss the ring.
If we are what we eat...then we must ask:"Where does our food come from?". Our food either comes from plants, or from animals that come from plants, in either case we indirectly come from what plants come from so we are really eating the sun, the earth, the stars, and the moon. Also, the carnivore, losing much of what was gathered along the way, indulges on a waste of energy demanding a four fold system. You with me? ..example: one, sun energy to plant matter; two, plant matter to animal matter; three, animal matter to human matter; four, human matter into human energy. This extended process of unwillingness to gather one's plants for themselves but, rather, to depend upon a cow or a pig or a chicken do it, is due to individual laziness and selfishness. Growing garden plants, picking them by hand, and creating them into a meal at home are all concerns for humble people who wish to do as many chores for themselves as possible. I consider that a step for a more advanced vegetarian...I'm not saying we should all go live on farms and grow our own vegetables. I just wanted you to think a little about what was said. I just got into an argument with a girl who tried to convince me that we NEED meat in our diets. No challenge there. She did have some interesting points with her family, but I smoked her ass and she knew it, and her friends knew it too. I'm open for more responses. Please comment on anything you'd like. I'm not looking for an argument, cause there is none. I'm just interested in what you think.
