Animal or non-animal based diet?

[Diana]

I wouldn't think too hard about the "spiritual" or "moral" implications of eating either. Just eat what feels right to you.

I agree that everyone should do what they think is best, as we are what we are along the steps of evolution of consciousness. But what is wrong with thinking about the implications of this very important subject?

What's right for someone else might not be right for you. I find the whole notion that "eating meat is death and you are a killer/wrong if you eat meat" to be silly. Likewise, I find it silly when people diss vegetarians for preferring vegetables.

Silly? I agree that to say something is "wrong" is not the way to perceive this issue.

It's not only about what you prefer, or what tastes good. It's also about respect for other life forms and the planet itself. For example: animal factory farms is the biggest contributor to greenhouse gases. Much suffering is caused from our meat industry. This is the tip of the iceberg regarding our culture of meat eating (and dairy).

If you want to be a responsible and accountable being in this existence, the question of what you take in for nourishment is very, very important.

Regarding what Ra said in the books: that was for Carla specifically. One must remember that Ra did not ever infringe upon free will. They recommended to Carla based on her paradigm and habits, and would not have imposed information that countered her (or the general) belief system. The attachment humans have to food is very strong.
