Is it really that much better to make friends with animals before you kill them than to treat them as nameless, faceless objects before you kill them?

Enlightenment is the realization of the oneness of being, where otherness disappears.
Sharon Gannon
Eating vegetables, fruits and grains rarely causes total destruction of the plant or tree on which the food grew after harvesting, seeds remain to be replanted the next season. But this certainly does not happen when an animal is slaughtered - death is final that animal will not reproduce again!

See the other person's potential for kindness and bolster your own expression of kindness.

Lions and other carnivorous animals do a lot of things besides eat meat. They live outdoors, not in houses they don't wear clothes or drive around in cars they usually sleep for many hours after eating a meal. Why cite just one of the many things that they do and argue that we should imitate them? This doesn't make much sense.
Sharon Gannon
The fact is that eating meat and dairy is bad for your health, the health of the animals eaten, as well as the health of the planet.

Today aged foods like sauerkraut, miso, and tempeh are fermented in hygienically sanitized stainless-steel vats to assure cleanliness, so we can no longer be sure they will provide us with the B12 we need. Vegans should not mess around with this issue.
