Aside from starting yet another long drawn out debate about meat, why not indulge somewhat in the human experience? Is having a diet coke really that bad? "We encourage the instrument to value itself and to see that its true requirements are valued by the self. We suggest contemplation of true richness of being." It's possible that someone who is impermeable to devaluing themselves is also offered protection to what may appear to be unhealthy.
When the two paths merge, they naturally have something to offer each other I think. Consider that the sts mentality of self love is not just cast aside. Each path must be denying something about themselves, otherwise they wouldn't be separate..perhaps? I don't know..seems reasonable. I say let people enjoy themselves..see things through a lens of love and emotional support. I think by creating an environment of acceptance, those manifestations we wish to extinguish through force simply fade away over time.
