The problem is Not that humans eat meat. Human have evolved over millions of years to eat meat. I have yet to see one of the vegetarians acknowledge this fact, or comment about the video I posted about Aajonus V, who actually healed his body when the Inuits told him to eat raw meat, and as he was dying Coyotes brought him rabbit as an offering which he ate, after being sick and vegan, and experienced immediate health benefits, and eventually healed to vibrant health.
Humane® (not the american one) right ?

The problem is not that people eat meat, it's the inhumane treatment of animals and the factory farming system that we have. That's atrocious, I don't think anyone on this board would disagree on that.
For those who are in a social context that involves preparation of food for others, and living with meat-eaters, this info is empowering, and inspiring.
So I think that is what bothers me most about this particular thread, I find it dis empowering.
I was not a true vegetarian, but ate fish , eggs, milk thinking back. But I ended up in a transpersonal crisis, a difficult spiritual awakening in which I became really ungrounded and took quite a while to regain stability. The stress probably contributed to the severe anemia I experienced. Eating meat helped with the the ungroundedness and anemia, both. I've already mentioned the social/community environment I am in which supported neither spiritual awakening, nor vegetarianism.
So just from my own personal experience, the views posed by the vegetarians in this thread feel uncompassionate. I am not saying you are all uncompassionate people, I know that you are compassionate. But you're presenting your views in a way that disempowers. This is my opinion and reflection for you to ignore, understand, or reject, or accept. I hope you'd understand, but am certainly not counting on it, based on the 106 pages written here so far.
