Food is one of those 3rd density evils that people readily accept. It's complicated but as a practicing vegan allow me to express my opinion and interpretations on the matter.
The current state of food (especially in the US, increasingly less so in other countries) is that lack of real food that is available for consumption. Most animals and foods are genetically modified to increase growth artificially and to sap natural sun-made nutrition from the process. Animals are given growth hormones and fed corn and soybeans that are genetically modified (not to mention unnatural for them to consume) with more animal genes and we really don't know the side effects, other than that it creates "more". Crops are sprayed with pesticides which forces the plant to rely on external sources for its protection, so it doesn't create its own natural antibodies to fight off intruders, the reasons we eat plants! It's very tricky but everything "good" about food has been sapped out of it by mass production. More than 2/3rds of people in the US are OBESE because they eat and eat food that has no nutritional content, so they never feel satisfied.
As far as "plants and animals" both being 2nd density, my feelings on that are, that plants have evolved to create "fruit" for us to eat with their seeds (children) carefully concealed in a colorful and sweet or nutritious package. This allows humans and other animals to be attracted to the fruit, to eat it, then many hours later of traveling deposit the "child" somewhere else, with its own fertilizer to boot! Plants have actually actively evolved for this purpose, to be consumed, and the benefits of consuming vegetables especially are very well documented. The mammals and birds that we eat, however, are among some of the most intelligent 2D species - cattle being extremely maternal (and exploited specifically for this purpose...) pigs being at least as smart as dogs, and chickens having the intelligence of the average bird, which is very high. I'm not discounting the communication that can be done with plants, but for the 2D animals of higher IQ, it's very important in my opinion to honor them higher than cramming them into cramped quarters, disfiguring them, and forcing them to live sick lives or be breeders and have their children constantly ripped from them. When the mourning is palpable, I can't ignore the call. I understand that it is catalyst and in agreeance with soul group contracts, however, the way we are operating now can NOT be sustained in 4D. Some of us are here to correct our errors and short-sighted decisions in these departments, and I feel the things I've seen can't go unrecognized. Just as I can't ignore the call of a crying child, or my own hungry animals, I can't ignore the pleading look in the eyes of a sow who's known nothing but consuming and loss. Just the same as I can't ignore the undeniable call of a fresh, ripe strawberry and the dance it performs for all of my senses to consume it.
Mind you I'm not perfect, I don't take the extra step to make sure its seeds get deposited where they will be able to grow and flourish, but I feel at least I'm consuming that which is asking me and not that which is pleading for me to stop!
Two easy to access documentaries that I'd recommend are Forks Over Knives and The Botany of Desire (both of those are on Netflix). Forks Over Knives taught me that solid science shows that eating animal products correlates directly with our most destructive diseases - cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's - everything degenerative. After watching the movie I realized that I didn't have to die of one of the three above causes, when I'd grown to accept a slow decline into old age and unhealth was inevitable - and this was before I knew I could "ascend"!
"Gluttony" is one of our most accepted "sins" and as such it is not without its problems. We consume way more animal than we did 100 years ago, which is poisoning us. We kill almost 10 billion animals for consumption per year in this country. The amount of grains that are used as animal feed could many times over feed those who are starving. Instead, we use that precious farmland to grow feed for our animals, so we can have burgers every night we please. This is obviously a very STS position when we consider it on the macro scale like that, that the morality between 2D animals and 2D plants is that animals require much more energy to produce, and with people starving to death every day it's a consideration we should take into account.
Also know, it's totally natural as we progress into 4D for your body to start to reject these things on its own. If your body is going through this process, trust it! If you feel better, go with it! Much love, luck and support to anyone making dietary changes that are natural and make them feel better. Thank you to anyone who read my post for your time.
Ah, I have so much more to say, I should walk away soon.
Chicken - a good rule is protein, grains, veggies. If you can incorporate beans/nuts, grains, and veggies into every meal, you will get more than enough. Varying the vegetables is always encouraged, and organic if possible is definitely exponentially more nutritious. I even just switched my dogs to a vegan diet (they've been begging me for more veggies for months) and so far it's been lentils, brown rice, sweet potatoes, carrots, kale, olive oil, and nutritional yeast (yummy B vitamin supplement). It's similar to lentil soup I've made for myself to eat even, just less seasoned.
In my house we eat lots of wraps, pasta with garlic/olive oil sauce and veggies, fried/roasted veggies, stir fry and rice, lots of stuff! There are vegan/vegetarian recipes for EVERYTHING. It's a myth that we need meat for protein, EVERYTHING is protein, but it's wise to eat beans/legumes for how dense with protein they are, just so you do feel as if you're getting enough to eat. It was very quick that I learned that meat actually doesn't have much of a flavor on its own, and that most things made without meat don't taste like they're missing anything.
Again good luck and thanks for your time!
