RE: Is Eating Meat Philosophically Consistent with Non-violence?
First vegans do not eat eggs, vegans eat no animal products at all. But still you cn hardly compare the act of eating meat to eating seeds or eggs. And it is totally possible for the world to not eat meat. You can literally grow enough food in your yard to feed a family. Sure youd have to learn alot about gardening and the like but it could be done. I feel like the only life I own is my own so I try to aviod killing other things.
90% of people don't have a yard to grow food in.
The industrial mono-crop industry doesn't produce enough vegetation to feed america.
Not all land is arable farm land. Much of america is grass land. Grass can feed cows, not humans.
With permaculture practices you can increase the yield of your soils.
However, it is in its infancy as a process.
However, however, permaculture is often highly dependent on animals. Things like chicken tractors to turn up the soil and add important nutrients.
Permaculture may provide a path to what you desire.
Trying to have as little harmful impact on the world from your actions is noble.
But, being afraid of death is a human thing. Avoiding killing other things often has worse side effects (especially if it is a natural cycle).
