[QUOTE=Swaybe;56976]It seems to be a highly debatable ‘scientifically established fact’.
I don’t think you can use evolution as justification for moral behaviour. I also don’t think that humans have the right to think that their lives are worth more value than all other life on this plant. And you don’t need meat to be healthy, as a vegan diet has been shown to be just as (if not more) healthy than an omnivorous one.
But obviously you’re going to think what you want to think, and I’m pretty strongly rooted in my own values, so to each their own![/QUOTE]
It may be. A lot of things in science are debatable. We still debate whether quantum mechanics should replace Newtonian mechanics sooner >.>
It’s no justification. It is what it is :rolleyes: Should I rather read a New Age book and get some do-goody ideas as justification? Yes you don’t need necessarily need meat, per se, to be healthy, but if you couple it with your vegetable-based diet, it’d have tremendous benefits for you. Especially, B12 vitamin and Omega-3 fatty acid are crucial (fish, crab, octopus, prawn, oyster and so on are good sources) I am speaking out of experience by the way.
Vegan diet it occurs to me is rather crazy. You deprive your body of many things; especially if you are a woman, you will need calcium from dairy products, or else you gonna face bone problems such as osteoporosis in your later life. Bear that in mind, in order attain better spiritual realization, you’d need a healthier skeleton
