Whether you eat a plant or an animal, it is still violence.
There is substantial documentation today to show that plants are just as sensitive. There is enough evidence to show that they do scream.
You do not hear it, that is all. Among the trees, let us say there are a thousand or ten thousand trees here and an elephant came and started eating the leaves of one tree.
This tree will immediately send messages to all other trees of its species that it is being eaten like this.
Within minutes, if the elephant goes to the other trees, all the trees would have produced a certain amount of poisonous material in their leaves.
When the elephant tries to eat the leaves, they taste bitter so it will not eat them.
They are that sensitive.
Do not call yourself a foodie because food should never become the identity.
Whether you pluck a fruit or a vegetable or cut an animal and eat it, everything is cruel.
It is just that we must do it with some sensitivity, only to the extent that is necessary.
You should drop this idea of being a foodie.
We all must eat food; otherwise it will be cruel to our own body. But becoming identified with food is not right because that means we will indulge, not just nourish, ourselves.
As a life we have a right to nourish ourselves – this is how the food cycle is in the world – but we have no right to take another life wantonly, just for pleasure.
We have no business doing that.
We have every right to nourish this life, but we have no right to enjoy taking another life.
Do not call yourself a foodie because food should never become the identity.
We will eat whatever we have to eat in the given moment for survival and nourishment
