Should we become Vegetarian?
1 October, 2006 - 19:06 — Sophie
In your book, you say all beings have the equal right to live.
Does this mean that eating meat (= killing beings) is a bad thing? Would you recommend to be vegetarian?

The purpose of life
Well, it is actually not that simple!
We all have our tasks to fulfill during our live. Among these tasks can be "serve as food for other beings". In fact a lot of the animal living on our planet is based on food chains where some animals eat other animals. In other words: eating meat is not generally bad.
If you look at it from this angle of view, you cannot conclude that human beings must not eat meat. Another issue is that plants can also be regarded as beings.
However, if you eat (meat) in excess, you certainly get in conflict with the basic rule of life. And you also get in conflict with the basic rule of life if you eat meat from animals that are bred under unfair conditions.
