Interesting, I never thought of it this way. I don't value the small effect I would make in buying from farm vs a meat corporation. But this article shows that there is an impact that is made. eating vegetarian doesn't make an impact on the meat corporations. So that is interesting. I eat farm raised beef (when I can) for the health benefit though. That is the only reason.

Of course stopping to eat meat takes cows out of feedlots.

No meat-eaters = No cows in feedlots
Less meat-eaters = Less cows in feedlots

Simple equation I would say.

So by the same logic. . .

1. Even if one does not commit rape, rapes will still occur.

2. A rapist can however treat victims 'kindly' before raping, (offering a nice meal first perhaps?).

3. Therefore, one should engage in 'kind' rape rather than not rape at all.

BZZZZT! Wrong.

Your actions, no matter what they are, will occur in *addition* to those already occurring.

Factory farming isn't going to go away simply because vegetarians change their habits and increase the number of meat-eaters on the market. All they will do is support a different product and a different distribution infrastructure, having exactly zero effect on the existing system.

While I DO encourage ethical treatment of animals, (I'm a meat eater myself), this author is using misleading logic when he could better spend his energy trying to educate current meat-eaters to alter their buying habits rather than trying to convert non-consumers into his chosen market.

Further, he is also ignoring the individual dietary health requirements of the consumer by assuming that everybody is an 'O' blood type.

To suggest that there is some sort of moral requirement to eating meat is just plain silly!

The problem of eating meet and how it relates to animal cruelty is anything but black and white. But at this late stage, it has become another divide leading to endless arguments and an abundant amount of fuel thrown on the fire. Unfortunately these types of fire create much heat and very little light.

The problem with the vegetarian stance is that a huge assumption is made about the nature of plant life. Do plants not have consciousness? Do they have no emotions? Do plants enjoy being eaten? Do plants just exist for our sustenance? All the same problems about eating animals applies to eating plant life. From where I sit, there is no amount of arguing back and forth as to convince me that one is "superior" to the other.

There really IS no "moral" criteria to having to eat other lifeforms to stay alive. The factory farming of animals IS disturbing, but in a world where there is zero chance of human rights, what reasonable expectation can there be of viable animal rights? And soon the choice of what we eat will be drastically reduced due to the earth changes underway. Even choices made strictly from a health perspective will become harder.

It really seems that the whole vegetarian movement was another effective distraction and great tool for divide and conquer by the global Pathocracy. The industrial farming system is not required to feed the people on this planet, any more than GMOs will increase yields, etc. These were never concerns of the Pathocracy to begin with.

It's the same with the energy requirements of our "civilization." If the world was not run by psychopaths and other pathological people, we would not have any energy shortages/problems. The artificial scarcity was by design. Now the natural scarcity is upon us. And trying to fix the system of artificial scarcity is a waste of time.

That's why SOTT's change of focus is appropriate for the times. We need to get to the root of our problems and forget about putting band aids on gaping wounds.

We are 3D STS creatures and we feed on other 3D creatures' energy. They all do. Even rabbits feed on letuce and nobody can say a letuce doesn't have a consciousness or a kind of knowledge of its state of letuce. Therefore we can't say eating greens is more moral than eating cows. Actually, eating anything is purely "selfish" and "disrespectful" of life, if we consider that in whatever we eat, some form of consciousness has been sacrified. But this is the way it works here in 3D and we all decided to play the game. Even cows decided to play the game.

This is not about morals but about metabolism. Grass is good for cow's metabolism. A cow was made to eat grass. Beef is good for human's metabolism. A human was made to also eat meat. The only thing we can do is raise our animals with respect and love and accept their ultimate sacrifice. This is how it works in 3D and if we are not happy with it then we just have to "upgrade" and become the star seeds we truly are. That means not getting the energy from others anymore, but finding it within us. That's how it works in 5D and higher.

Now, the Wave is coming. For those who are ready, there'll be an upgrade. For the others... hurry up before it's too late!
