hey jack,
i'm a veggie and have been for about 4 years now. my conscience just couldnt let me be a part of killing anymore. most spiritual traditions promote the notion of non violence as an essential element of physical, mental and spiritual well being, i'm not a christian but the first commandment is 'thou shalt not kill' , not 'thou shalt not kill humans'. hinduism, buddhism, jainism, yoga, maybe even jediism have their foundations firmly rooted in the freindliness of the individual to ALL others. i'm not gonna preach, each according to their own way is the only way, and this is just my opinion. i dont usually express opinions too often because they're a bit like arseholes; everyones got one and they all smell. however, on the subject of killing animals when there are a multitude of healther alternatives around, us i feel strong enough to voice mine. love of all, including the creatures (not just their taste) is a part of my core beleifs and ever since i began living in accordance with them i've been a much happier and healthier soul. love and peace brother.
