Guest guest Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Dear Tony: I think you missed your calling. You should have been one of those Fire and Brimstone preachers. Each person will arrive where they arrive in this world that never happened when it is time for them to do so. All your editorial comments and judgmental claptrap does little to promote your cause IMO, hahahahahah ;-) . Truth is, I ate meat for 47 years before I became vegetarian. Now, I find myself slowly moving towards a vegan diet. It is not just the eating of meat which bothers me now. After reading some of the sites and the details of how the animals are treated and physically tortured and manipulated into producing milk and eggs, I am bothered by those thoughts as well. Still, I did not move there completely yet, and it is partly possible allergies which are also motivating me. The God that does not exist works in strange ways, no?One way or another, I will end up with a totally sattvic diet, if that is the way it is meant to be. In the meantime, I try not to judge myself, but to Be As I Am. So tell me, Tony, do you eat eggs? Do you eat dairy products? Just wondering...
