You and StrongHeart have two differing approaches to this issue. I really want to understand the underlying drives for his belief.
Your belief is something I can understand. His is foreign to me.
As for health conerns - I have premature high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Any flesh I eat needs to be fish or fowl, and only subsets of those two groups. |
If I needed someone to represent me in a court of law, StrongHeart would be my first choice, he makes very compelling arguments, I'm sure his approach appeals to some.
Speaking of high blood pressure & cholesterol, I lost my dad to coronary heart disease & cancer, and almost lost a sister & brother to cancer & obesity respectively, hence my advocacy. My brother finally decided it was time to change after a very recent health scare, he was diagnosed with MS. Anyway part of the change he made was to adopt a vegan diet. My sister is a bit of a harder coconut to crack..... but I love her.
If you are curious to explore vegetarianism, I recommend learning to prepare your own meals. They can be very tasty. During my transition period from meat to veg I discovered a temple full of hare Krishna's, anyway, I learnt to cook veg food from them, was quite a cultural experience too. If you have never visited a Hare Krishna restaurant I recommend it, they are internationally famous for their gourmet veg cuisine. I can hear your reluctance, so I challenge you, when was the last time you did something for the first time..........
