Meat, Dairy, Eggs, Dead Animals & Blood Foods - Go Vegan

I know that words must convey specific meanings for us to communicate with each other. I have a problem with the word "meat" though... Until about 1300 the term 'meat' referred to any solid food. And the nuts that I eat are also said to be "meat". And so it is too, that my fruits are "flesh" as well - As in "flesh" of a ripe peach, mango, papya, tomato and so forth... And while I may shop for foods that are "meat" and "flesh" - I'm vegan... So I never buy the things that required animal killing: I've come to know them as "blood foods" - dairy, eggs and dead animal parts: Please choose compassion when you shop and eat...

Phasing out the meat eater is the only way we can win this battle. We now need to figure out the way to carry this out...

Yes Judith... you're right. Phasing them out with knowledge, information, better choices, good food - and compassion. It cannot happen too soon!
Thanks for dropping by! :)
