In regards to eating meat

[Tenet Nosce]

Right. But yet, most people don't murder because they don't desire to, not because it is restricted behavior.

Well true, but we still need restrictions, at this point of human evolution. How many more murders would there be if it wasn't considered wrong, with threat of punishment?

I dunno. Knowledge of human beings living free from the threat of punishment for certain behaviors appears to have been edited out of the collective memory and historical record. Our legal history books pretty much begin with the "Code of Hammurabi" and go from there. I will note that the time frame of this document coincides with the arrival of negative Orion beings to this sphere 3600 years ago.

As it currently stands, most of humanity remains under the strong impression that people need to be perpetually under control in order to live in peace with one another. Ironically, this is causing a certain level of tension among the populace.
