A Friendly Conversation: Exploring Omnivorous vs. Vegetarian Diet

[Monica]

The message isnt that we should be perfect and never eat meat.

Why not? How can you be so sure that isn't the message they are trying to convey to us?

Vegetarians aren't perfect. But why not quit eating meat?

But rather that we should at least, individuals, make an honest effort to harm others as little as possible in the process of our own survival.

Ra said "animal products to the extent necessary for individual metabolism."

So, being that most humans don't need meat for survival, then the "honest effort to harm others as little as possible in the process of their own survival" would mean to quit eating meat.

After all, if it's not necessary, then why do it?
