... the meat thread. And if you are not willing to participate in whole by respecting all the postings, then you are missing a lot of insights.

Diana, what has caused you to write this line to me? Kindly quote me.

Whitefeather, it was because of this post of yours:

"There are wars going on between vegetarians and meat eaters, between vegans and vegetarians, between the blood types diets and the macro-diet. And it goes on and on. There are conflicts between countries, between cultures, between religions and, all for very good reasons and... you know, I am tired of these endless conflicts. As a societal complex we need HARMONY! There is jut not one diet which will fit all! Or one culture or one religion alone for that matter. For us STOs to keep harmony, we need to work together with a greatest variety of ways because each is UNIQUE and with unique requirements."

I felt that if you had read the thread, you would have seen that we were endlessly trying to inform, and discuss, and understand each other's comments and insights--not war. First of all, I don't believe anyone was pushing just one diet for all. I do not see the meat thread as warring, since the people on this site, I would assume, are conscious and want their actions to be conscious. The meat subject is complex, and triggers emotional responses. If it were all just about the human individual, and what the individual wants, then no other consideration need be addressed. But that is not the case. We are not the only life on this planet.

Perhaps I was wrong in assuming you had not read the entire thread (which admittedly, at this point, is crazy long--which is an indication that the discussion is important). But to compare the thread to the mindless, greedy, unconscious warring and conflict in the general public, is not a fair comment in my opinion.
