Eating animals: “But they have no souls so it’s okay”. “They don’t feel things as we do”. “They can’t reflect on their situation or see up ahead to what’s in store for them”. Whether any of that is true or not, does it matter? New information today says that it’s safe to eat only plant based foods. So why not simply do just that? In our world of misinformation people concur with what they’ve been told - that animals have no souls and that meat is good for you. Their main fall back position is a powerful one: “We’ve been eating meat for two million years so why stop now?”
Perhaps it’s timely to stop this habit now because we know we can survive safely without animal food but also because we’ve shown how cruel the human system can be when it is making money from selling certain foods. Just look at what hell holes the factory farms are!
