Animal food in diet

[Diana]

(40.14)

Ra shows positive attitude towards animal products.
And Ra mentioned Oahspe is transmitted from Confederation (14.28). 
But the two opinions are different. Any thoughts?

That quote was not a general one and was for Carla only, which was a frequent subject in the Ra Material due to Carla's ill health. According to people who knew her, she was "addicted to" meat products like hamburgers, and she even recommends meat in her channeling handbook (which, as much as I respect(ed) Carla, I did not think was a good thing to do). This is an indication that those of Ra did not want to infringe upon her free will and instead of recommending meat in her diet (notice they do say meat, but animal products) outright, but said "to the extent needed." I would suggest to ponder that wording.

Speaking to Meadow Foreigner's comments, even from a biological and physiological point of view, the hormones released into the body of the animal during stress (torture, slaughter) are consumed by one who eats the meat. So those protein chains are even on a physical level having an effect.

While this is of course a personal matter, it has to said that using animals for food is not a necessity. Even the UN has said we need to go to a plant-based diet globally or continue down the path of planetary destruction. There are the issues of what is good for the planet we live on, the people here, and the other life forms. And considering that plant life is more geared to being consumed for food (in so many ways), it makes no sense to me to continue farming animals for food (especially the egregious factory-farm process, which, beyond its cruelty has destructive implications for this planet).

And finally, what does your heart tell you? Even the best of animal farming has to slaughter for the meat, or separate cows from their babies to be milk producers, etc.
