If you eat anything at all in this world, you are consuming the remains of a living organism. What difference if its covered with fur or leaves?
Right now, I sit at my desk at work. My lunch consisted of a a salad, a bottle of water and an orange. Hey, a vegetarian meal. But, what is an orange? A fruit perhaps....or the physically amputated limb of a living organism for the sake of food. Without that organism's permission? Same for lettuce....a living organism ripped from its home ...etc, etc...
Again, its about the choices we make in life. In our heart, to ourselves. To the ones we love and the people around us. The reasons for that choice matter less than just making the choice and honoring it within your heart.
Monica chooses vegetarianism, someone else chooses another way of eating that includes animal proteins. All choices and reactions to catalyst. We'll all find out sooner or later the results of those choices....but not in this lifetime.
