lets not forget the artificial fertilizers, weed and bug killers,  Roundup anyone?  we need more of that stuff in the air, water and ground.

Fig trees might require bugs to grow their fruit.

The impression I got from studying Jainism was that a true Jain saint would be someone who goes off into a cave and slowly starves themselves to death.

That seems to be the logical conclusion of the vegan moralfag route.

I never understood the idea of not eating meat. Don't we need a healthy balanced diet? Didn't we used to hunt and kill buffalo for centuries before farming became a thing? http://meatandhealth.redmeatinfo.com/red-meat-and-health-the-facts/eating-a-balanced-diet.aspx

I don't eat meat, and neither does my spouse.

Monastics in the Orthodox Church are usually vegetarian.


I don't believe it is necessary to eat meat to be healthy.
