I haven't eaten animals or animal products in over 2 years. Feeling great, spiritually and physically. Its amazing the way the you feel in a living human body when you stop constantly putting dead shit into it.
Also, it sucks humans classify animals as companion animals and food animals. They equally have conciousness and experience pain, fear, joy and peace. People generally don't spend time with "food animals" the way they do cats, dogs, horses, etc. So it makes it difficult for them to assign the emotional attributes to them other than the traditional qualities of "Mmmm, bacon, steak, chicken." If they did, they would see how the animals are indeed aware of their environment, experience feelings, and want to live.
My kid insightfully called this separation and/classification 'animal racism.'
When you think about it, the concept is the same. One Love! -C
