What does the answer to this question satisfy?
You said that if someone says something is an abomination, then that is an STS thought.
So I'm asking you: Is it EVER ok to call something an abomination? If I call war, or murder, or pedophilia an abomination, am I being STS just for saying that?

If I eat to keep myself healthy, I am sustaining myself so that I can continue to serve others.
I think all the questions about polarity have been answered elsewhere, so I'll refrain from addressing those questions.
People on an STO path decline opportunities to feel compassion all the time. It's a matter of where we choose to focus our compassionate energy.
Not everyone chooses to focus their energy on their diets.
Disassociation again. You've spoken only of your diet and what it does for you, while ignoring the effect your choice has on other beings...ignoring the torture and slaughter, that must take place in order for you to do that.
Not to mention, that for most people, there are other ways to nourish one's body, without torturing and killing animals.
