In regards to eating meat

[Diana]

Some people just don't like their belief systems rattled... even if such a belief system is causing them to greatly suffer.

I think this is somewhat at play with the meat-eating issue. (Not pointed at anyone; just a general comment.) Certainly meat-eating is causing a great deal of suffering for some of the meat-eaters (in terms of health).

We have historically been omnivorous, with the notable exceptions of some evolved individuals Monica pointed out who suggested otherwise. Humans don't like change; it is the principle of least action and conservation of energy programmng.

What is more documented is the fact that most diets upon our planet are based upon what is attainable. Did spiritual leaders actually promote dietary guidance? Or did they simply use metaphor, so as to be heard? Was it situational issues? or rituals? or fates? (and not in purely spiritual realms?). Linearly, centralized religions, injected their own biases through the lures of food for hungry mouths. Bread and circuses still exist today.

That depends on who the "spiritual leaders" are:

1) Organized religion controls.

2) Advanced beings trying to help humankind, such as Ra or Jesus, bring enlightened concepts to help humans evolve/grow.

All else aside, I think the common thread for me is that I take issue with dietary law. All religions have certain sects which espouse dietary law, but they seem to run most strongly through the Abrahamic traditions.
