Did Entities Eat Meat Before The Veil ?

[Diana]

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.

No one said that meat and dairy consumption are the only areas responsible for suffering and enslavement.

This thread is about eating meat. And it is undeniable that meat eating causes suffering and enslavement. I agree that there is a large overview to look at. And within the context of eating animals, for the good of the WORLD, it would be better to cease this unnecessary consumption. Growing food for humans and not the meat animals alone would ease much human as well as animal suffering.

What are big-profit corporations to do with the supply and demand for meat? Does anyone think they will let go of that bone (no pun intended)? Poor countries invaded by big corporations to cut down rain forest to graze cattle or to commercially farm quinoa because it is now popular in America are at the disadvantage because they are poor. I seriously doubt positive change will come from corporations becoming 4D. Less suffering is sure to happen when we stop demanding cheap plastic toys from China, meat from factory-farmed animals, and grains/bananas/etc. from 3rd-world countries where these corporations exploit the poor.

If anyone is waiting around for the transnational corporations raking in the profits to lead the way into a loving future, good luck. I think it must begin with personal change. Stop supporting cruelty in the ways that you can. One EASY way is to stop eating grocery store meat from factory farms. I say EASY because it is doable, barring addictions, taste, habits, comfort, unconsciousness, etc. So perhaps it's not easy for the individual in some cases, but what is the alternative?
