In regards to eating meat

[Diana]

Do you believe you are contributing to slavery by using money? Probably not, because that is probably not your intent. In the same way you can eat meat without the intent to contribute to animal abuse.

I am not sure it's money that makes us slaves, rather, it is a corrupt system. The money is inert, and does respond to intention in your life.

You may not have the intention to contribute to animal abuse by consuming meat, but how does that work in reality? You (as a theoretical person) eat meat that came from animals who were abused (theoretically we will imagine that the meat is from a factory farm). If you eat the meat, it was purchased. The money that paid for the meat goes to the industry supplying it. How are you not supporting the industry--and its abuse of animals--when you eat the meat?

Your intention of not supporting the industry is a disconnect. Your intention, as you ate the meat, did not change the fact that the animal was abused.

Intention does matter. But our actions matter too. If a person intends that they will hold their temper, but chokes another person to death because their anger overrode their intentions, then the end result is a murdered human.

A person may intend not to contribute to animal abuse, but if they eat factory-farmed meat, they are contributing to it.

This comes from the research I have done on the subject AND from personally knowing people who eat only animals and has been for years. Their diet is (by calories) 80% animal fat and 20% animal protein. They only get traces of carbs from eating liver.

I have never heard of such a thing. Are they healthy? Every bit of research I have done would support that they were not healthy, unless the evidence was put out by the meat and dairy association.
