In regards to eating meat though, in many intances, eating meat is "necessary for individual needs" or what did Ra said, but I believe that most of the times we eat it, because it tastes good, or we are used to eat it or something similar. I also believe that if each human would kill/harvest for its own food, that the catalyst would increase, and make us to polarize faster, because the killing/harvesting would either numb us further, making us to perhaps polarizng in a more negative sense, or it would make us to stop killing and harvesting, opening up our green ray. But I don't know. I just know that I was a vegatarian for 7 years in my youth, but stopped when I got pregnant. I got an extreme urge to eat the meat again and so I did. I tried to become vegetarian ever since, but didn't succeed completely. Today I eat meat, but mostly wild meat which one of my relatives hunt, except when I am in restaurant or at some dinner. Then I eat what is offered.
Anyway, I remember that when I was a vegetarian in my younger years, I wanted to not only be a vegetarian, but a fruitarian. I didn't even want to eat carrots, sallad, potatoes and similar vegetables where the plant had to die in order to provide the food for me. I wanted to harvest that which was naturally given, which is tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, aubergines, nuts and fruits. And you could indeed collect food from animals, without killing them, as long as they are treated humanely, foods like milk, eggs etc. So maybe, not a fruitarian, but some sort of a person who eats only what is offered without any lives of any living organisms being taken. Do you understanding what I mean?
I believe that this "frutarian" or what shall we name it, food that I mentioned is the food of future 4D positive social memory complex. They might eat some animal products, like milk and eggs, if they choose to house and take care of animals, but I doubt that this will stay with us as we are developing into the higher and higher realms of consciousness.
With this being said, we are still in 3D. Rising the consciousness of our people in regards to how we treat each other, ourselves, and our smaller siblings is a good way of polarizing, as long as one respects the free will of each, practicing an understanding. This is not to say, that sometimes one just wants to smack someone in the face and scream - what the hell is wrong with you?!
It's understandable that you craved meat when you were pregnant, if you were mostly fruitarian at that time! You probably weren't getting enough proteins and fats, and so your body sent a signal to you for the quickest way to get those nutrients. (Eating meat isn't the only way! But might have been the quickest way, at the time.) I had a friend who was a raw vegan, mostly fruitarian, who insisted on following that diet while pregnant. She said she felt 'starving all the time' and it's amazing that her babies were ok. I thought she was nuts!
A raw vegan diet can indeed be adequate during pregnancy, but it requires more planning. A pregnant woman's nutritional needs are different. For what it's worth, I think you did the right thing to put your baby first, at the time!
When I was pregnant, I didn't have the education or resources to feel fully confident about a healthy vegan pregnancy. I had plenty of knowledge and support about being vegetarian, but at that time, which was 27+ years ago, there just wasn't much info available yet about how to ensure a healthy vegan pregnancy and raising vegan children.
So, I decided to err on the side of caution and added organic eggs and raw goat's milk back into my diet during my pregnancy. I never ever craved meat. (I had already been vegan for about 6 years at that time.) The eggs and goat's milk filled any gaps and gave me the confidence that I needed at that time.
Now, 27+ years later, there is an abundance of good info available on how to be a healthy vegan during pregnancy, and how to raise healthy vegan children. If I had known then what I know now, I would most definitely stay vegan during my pregnancy. But back then, I did the best I could with the knowledge that I had.
I advised my raw vegan friend to simply eat more calories. She clearly was doing something wrong, if she was starving! I told her she could stay vegan, or at least vegetarian, but it wasn't necessary to be raw vegan. She clearly wasn't eating enough calories, proteins and fats. Pregnancy isn't the time for low-calorie, low-fat diets, whether vegan or not! Pregnant women need more calories and more healthy fats. Children also need more calories and more healthy fats. This is easily satisfied with nuts, seeds, nut/seed milks, coconut, and avocados.
