Did Entities Eat Meat Before The Veil ?

[Shemaya]

  An attitude of non- violence and non- cruelty is essential for 4D awareness.  I think that everyone on these boards would agree to that.  As I read these threads  on diet I have read repeatedly that so- called, self- professed "wanderers" , by eating meat, are advocating violence and cruelty.  not true, very far from the truth in fact and also a disrespectful thing to say.  ( not that you said such a thing, Jade!)

Buying meat in the grocery store is supporting the factory farms where millions of animals suffer. This either consciously or unconsciously contributes to the supply and demand. I'm afraid there is no getting out of that, and saying so disrespects no one. It is a fact.

And Jade said the following by the way, in case you are inclined to be judgmental toward only specific individuals:

I understand that it's still possible to participate in consumption of animals and still help eliminate suffering, but to say one is removed from the responsibility of the tortured/murdered lifeforms because they merely purchase them at the grocery store is a huge disconnect.

It is also a fact that buying many things at the grocery store like avocados, cashews, almonds, and quinoa for example, support systems of human exploitation, enslavement and environmental degradation in a capitalistic system of exploitive accumulation of profit and wealth.  Buying anything contributes to supply and demand.  Meat is not the only grocery store item that causes harm, or is produced/ harvested violently.  I think it is a huge disconnect to have the view that only meat or dairy consumption is responsible for suffering and enslavement, it just is not true.

It is true that it's a horrible system of exploitation, enslavement and environmental degradation across the board for our agriculture / food, and our global economy.  

It's not like just because someone is vegan they can wash their hands of this exploitative system.  You'd have to move to a place with a local economy, and local food production and grow your own food.  Doing that would make it hard for some climates to get all their nutritional needs met without dairy or fish or bivalves or something to supplement the harvest times.
