Why I am not a vegan

[anagogy]

Here's an even better question: would they have if Carla had believed those negative aspects of the bible?  Or would they have just let it slide, in the name of free will?

I doubt they would have included those aspects, because they were not consonant with the Law of One.  Similarly, if eating meat were so negative and wrong (depolarizing), they would have left it out too in their dietary advice, regardless of her nonchalance towards it.  As I recall they specifically said, "We do not suggest any hard and fast rulings of diet".  That is also why they said, "to the extent necessary for the individual metabolism, the animal products."  

I think the main thing to take away from this, is *no one* can unanimously say what another's body requires to function in this physical world, so there is no sense judging others for their diet. Perhaps some peoples bodies *DO* need animal products to function optimally.  And that seems to be what Ra is saying -- that everybody is unique.  

At least, that is my opinion.
