leaning towards elimination of meat

[Ali Quadir]

I agree with what was said before about becoming vegetarian if you feel the moral pull. I however, do not feel such a pull. I love meat, and I have no qualms about eating it. I believe that there is nothing wrong with eating meat, as it is a natural source of energy. The ways that meat is harvested, while not the best, is just the way it is in my point of view. Would I support a more humane way of getting meat? Of course I would, but I simply don't feel the need to stop eating it. It is a very personal decision, and if a person feels that it is the right path for them, then more power to them!

I bought a chicken breast today, as a gift. I may not eat meat, but my house mate does. That'll teach her right? hah!

Don't feel judged Colorado, all of my best friends eat meat. If I had to drop all meat eaters from my list of friends I'd have one friend left. It's not that I dislike them. I just hardly know any and I don't feel the need to go looking for them.

Sometimes we need to be bold and stand for our beliefs. There is value in any position if we look for it. And this value can be expressed. Must be expressed if we are to find common grounds. This just isn't a belief to push unto others. I don't think I want good people to be humble and bad people to not be humble. Be proud of who you are, be proud of the fact that you accept others as they are. It is a good thing.

My sufi friend told me once that everyone is entitled to my opinion. Just in case I have something good to say, it would be a waste if it went unheard. Humility can be seen in different ways, first of all disregard of self. I don't think we're talking about that particular version. The other is regard for others and I think that's the value we're sharing in this thread.

Sometimes the most humble persons are the ones who step up because they feel they have something important and useful to share.
