Vegan Animal Food

Luckies4me, I agree with most of what you said.

We also know where our meat comes from. We don't buy meat from regular supermarkets and grocery stores. Our meat has to be from an animal slaughtered in a special way (similar to kosher) because of religious reasons, so such meat is not available in regular stores. We buy our meat from small special shops. Their meat comes from the farm of one of my dad's friend's friend. We have been to that farm several times and know how they do it. They treat their animals very well in their life, and when its time for them to go, they take each animal seperately (so the others cannot hear or see it) and give it water before killing it. They do not give their animals electric shocks, etc. and do not treat them inhumanely as the main meat market does. We know where our meat comes from, and we will continue to eat meat. My mother is very careful about what food is cooked in the house. We have 1 fish day, 1 chicken day, and one meat (mostly sheep or goat, sometimes beef) day in the week. The other 4 days we only eat vegetarian food. Fish is healthy, chicken has its benefits and is not bad for your health either. Red meat is eaten in very limited amounts in our household. Meat is not unhealthy and a cause for cancer/heart attacks, etc. if eaten with moderation. Overly eating anything can be bad. If animals can eat meat without being criticized, why can't we? If eating meat was so cruel and inhumane, God would've told us so in His Holy books, but the fact is, He didn't. He even told us that when Prophet Abraham was ordered to sacrifice his son as a test, and before he did it, God stopped him and sent him a ram to sacrifice instead, that indicates that eating meat is not a crime in the eyes of God. God knows far more than me or you or anyone, and I take God's word for this issue. I know people don't believe in God, but I do, and I will continue to eat meat in moderation for as long as I live. If God forbade us from eating meat, I would accept it and stick to a vegetarian diet, but we have God's permission, and I'm sticking to that. We are only keeping our end of the food chain. If you choose to not eat meat, fine. No one's stopping you. As for me, I choose to eat meat and no one can stop me either. I LOVE chicken!

Ps. You mention Jesus may have never eaten meat. According to religious scriptures and Holy books, Jesus was a shepard. Hmmm........

And yes, in many parts of the world, people drink camel milk, goat milk, buffalo milk, and others.
