Confederation and meat consumption

[Diana]

I just see a lot of lack of acceptance in this thread.  The vegetarian crowd simply doesn't accept the carnivores because of how they interpret the Law of One, and the carnivores don't accept the vegetarians' interpretation of the Law of One.

This may be true in part. But not always. Personally, I have no investment at all in any interpretation of the Law of One (regarding any subject). To me, it's a reference only.

I'd just like to offer that this doesn't have to be about the Law of One. It can be about what you feel is right -- in fact, it always is about that in the end (and, maybe sometimes, the secret fear that you might be wrong).  And if it's just about what you truly feel is right, then we ought to assume a posture of sharing our perspectives and listening to others', rather than trying to find the holes that will always abound in each others' limited arguments.  The Confederation says over and over that the best argument we can make is our example, not our words.

How then would you suggest we canvass the subject here? Words are all we have on an Internet forum.

It's nearly impossible to talk about this from the vegan (plant-based eating) standpoint without causing offense. Please share any suggestions as how to engage in this conversation from the standpoint of a vegan who cares about animal suffering.
