In regards to eating meat

[unity100]

I've read, and participated in, the discussions regarding the slaughter of the vegetable and plant food we eat vs. the animal food we eat. This particular discussion had to do with the slaughter of thousands more 2D beings to tend a garden than to slaughter a herd of goats. The discussion basically evolved to a conversation dealing with the net value life of a meat animal vs. the net value life of an insect/thousands of insects/weeds, which was primarily opinion based. I was curious about your opinion on that specific matter, not on the food that we eat.

i have already understood the angle you are approaching. the question you are posing now, has been posed before in this thread, and i have given lengthy responses to it.

leave aside that question in particular, but many other questions that arise from its corollaries were also discussed, at length again.

this is why i have referred to you earlier pages of this thread in which we had had quite in-depth look into this matter with many people.

I will take another look further back in the thread, but in posting what I did, I was careful not to post any redundant views. I really tried to focus on the death of weeds and insects vs. death of meat animals, and I realize that your emotional and technical spiritual approaches could apply to all of these. Perhaps you're not interested in comparing the two, but if you are, I'd be interested in hearing it.

while looking back at the thread, you will find that much more radical questions were posed, and equally radical answers were given, compared to the question you brought above. when discussing this matter at length, it is inevitable that someone poses the above problem eventually. the curious part is, what happens when people keep discussing in depth after that point.

please have a look at quite earlier pages of the thread. then if you are not intrigued and satisfied by what you find, you can repose this question to me and i will gladly answer.
