Re: religious vegetarianism was how popular is nourishing traditions these days?

Katja,

Fixation on food thought lower in the food chain to me doesn't justify more

humanity or humility. It can show that hierarchy is a belief when the

opposite is true in all nature, that none can survive or be without the

other, so all is equal and cannot survive without some form of nourishment

from all others. Heme in chlorophyll is the same heme in human blood.

Had quite a heated debate with a Buddhist animal rights activist about

hunting to the equal and interconnected point few years back. Came down to

" Bet you have no trouble killing a mosquito " Replied for gardening I use

garlic to keep them from biting me and to prevent my killing them less. As

he'd spoke of traveling in a car my point then was, the car you're driving

splats mosquitos on the windshield so they're all dead mosquitos killed by

their human predator.
