to kill or not to kill? that is the question.

[Diana]

If you truly wish to 'reduce your rate' of 2D life consumption, eating a vegan diet is the way to go (or better yet high fruit raw vegan diet). It takes a lot more plants to feed animals that feed then you then if you just ate plants first. You save about 10x's the plant life by going vegan, than by eating an omnivore diet. If you truly wish to not consume 2D life, than consider this option.

(And the next step is to eat the 80/10/10 diet, which is mostly fruits. Fruits do not harm the tree you take them from and you do the tree a service of carrying its seed elsewhere and hopefully planting it.)

You speak of not consuming 2D beings, and there is a way towards that. The choice is yours to make.

I'm vegan to save plant life as well as animal life.

...And the ecological results of an omnivore are ridiculous... Which is harming all life on the planet.

The above is one of the posts I would love to "like" more than once.

I know it is difficult for many to shift diet from eating animals, let alone become vegan. But it is, in my opinion, a natural progression toward "doing less harm." There are reams on this subject, from both sides, in the in regards to eating meat thread. And quick references to particular issues around the subject in archived answers to the philosophy of eating meat; scroll down in Monica's post to access the archive.
