Nice article, and yeah some meat consumption might have worked 1000´s of years ago, since it did NOT directly kill humans and plants.
Today thou, I must say, it does and the Buddha would turn to veganism looooooog ago, according to the philosophy you describe.

I am a vegan since 5 years, an engineer in biochemistry and I´ve never eaten any supplements for vitamin B or iron, there are no reason what so ever.

Having non heme iron in vegan, antioxidant rich sources, enables 20% uptake , standard uptake from heme iron with no extra vitamins e.g stake, sauce potatos, peas, you will take up 10% of the heme iron... Guess which is more healthy?? doh..

The numbers vary greatly with the iron level in the body off course.

The combo of sugar + fat, makes it impossible for humans to get rid of the fat since ketosis is extremly important and eating sugar for breakfast
stops it, and meat / fat intake over during the day is never burnt off, is a death senescent!

The biggest problem might still be protein diseases which is growing more then anything, and is my arena of profession.

Meat wont work in 2018, we lose 90% of the energy to heat, while 50% of humanity is suffers malnutrition...do the maths!

The Buddha wished love to all sentient beings before all else, if you don´t see this conflicting with meat consumption, after the numbers i just gave you, I fear nothing will change or view on global state of nutrition :((

Why produce 90% heat instead of food? Ah rite the corporate agenda, big money, export meat to rich zones FROM the poor, leaving the poor with no soils or forests.

The beef produced in The Amazonas is not eaten by the starving population close by NONO, it is exported to fat / obese, ignorant Americans who gladly pays premium to DIE faster and take the planet with them :)

Peace

Humanity is suffering from malnutrition because of corruption in their governments....corruption causes famine, war, disease, and poverty.

Buddha was not a vegan or a vegetarian he ate what was given to him when he went on his alms rounds...you need to read my post and stop reacting to titles and pictures.

I love your passion but your blind reaction is kind of boring and has nothing to do with my article, which has nothing to do with meat...it has to do with reacting to what we like and don't like...

You are NOT what you eat @clausewitz <3

Peace

:) This is a planed and long time coming project!

Humanity is suffering from malnutrition because of corruption in their governments....corruption causes famine, war, disease, and poverty.

It is easy to blame others and point fingers, but all non vegans are as guilty, not the government or anyone else, I pray for awakening, as the Buddha would say, I guess hehe

I find it very useful to point out such a thing, The Buddha based his view on eating animals on non suffering...He would be vegan in 2018, I know plenty of Buddhist agreeing, what do you think about it?
I find it a useful and strong argument pointing to that times have changed...

I have never mentioned you, your article or anything it states... I adress all articles promoting meat in this post, and yes, ONE article about ---> THE <---- Buddha, since i Love both topics and feel obligated to do so.

Kinda shocking that anyone would feel targeted, but I am glad you actually read this, thank you <3

Exactly we are NOT what we eat, all the meat consumption in the world will NEVER make us carnivores, only sick and dying, like the american population.

But i might confuse myself or you, since i am not sure if you´r referring to this comment or the post i made today xD

Peace & veganism to humanity

Buddha ate what was put in his begging bowl, that is how we need to live our life

This article has nothing to do with vegans or vegetarians, it has to do with blindly reacting to what we do or do not like.

I am not blaming or pointing figures, I am speaking from experience and history. Famine and disease comes from war, corrupt governments, monarchy, corporations.

Buddha was not a vegan, he and his sangha dependend on the villiage people to support them. The people gave what they could and many times that was meat...

This is my blog so be kind and let people own their views, just like I am letting you own yours.

Humanity is suffering from malnutrition because of corruption in their governments....corruption causes famine, war, disease, and poverty.

No fingers?

Buddha ate what was put in his begging bowl, that is how we need to live our life.

This is your take on The Buddhas view on suffering animals as result of your eating? Red herring distraction at its best :) If you aviod to answering what you think about buddhas opinion on eating meat in 2018.

Now you are not making any sense, calm down please and have a civil discussion with me.

If i make no sense, noting will bring this discussion further, I was interested in your take on what the Buddha would think if or when he saw humans eating meat while others starve as a direct consequence. But no longer!
I must be partial because to me, it all makes 100% sense, sorry for confusing you!

Peace

Thanks! Look forward to reading it!
