I will meat as long as there's canine teeth in my head and fleas in my hair.

Scientific observation states the earliest life arose on earth about 4 billion years ago. These were the unicellular non-nucleated prokaryote. Such simple life forms are with us today in the form of Bacteria, these single cells are quite content subsisting on natural glucose.

It took another 2 billion years, for these prokaryotic cells to join together and organise themselves to form eukaryotic cells. It was a process where the simple prokaryotic cells merged to become the nucleus and other specialist components of a multifunctional cell. These conjoining components were termed endosymbionts and the complex structures they formed are known as eukaryotic cells.

They exhibit the most profound of symbiotic relationships, they were initial relationships of mutual benefit but later became one of dependency.

The components of these eukaryotic cells, now fully formed as a nucleus and specialist components are generically termed organelles. The study of these organelles presents us with the first signs of predatory behaviour in nature.

Nature has a habit of following the easy option, the laborious task of extracting and converting natural glucose into more complex proteins can be eschewed by the rapacity of others, and so organelles did develop to specialise in the gormandizing of their kindred.

And there you have it Death by Consumption.

Bacteriotrophy (capable of eating bacteria - prokaryotes )
Eukaryotrophy (the ability to engulf large prey such as other eukaryotes )

So if the compassionately conscious truly wish to become naturally benign, then they should hope to be reincarnated as a prokaryotic cell.

When you understand that you cannot subsist on natural glucose and that as Eukaryotes (that is large organisms made up from complex cells) you learn that we have to sustain ourselves by the death of others.

It is from this point onwards that we have a choice.

I am interested in Vegetarians, Fructarians and Vegans, as I see in their choice of not to eat animals as an inherent desire not to destroy what they perceive to be liberate and conscious. Plants and their young progeny the fruit and nut, are made of the same living cells but they are not acknowledged to be conscious, and are therefore fair game for their digestive tracts.

As I have already iterated the choice is yours, as it was with our ancestors. It is not up to Authoritarians to dictate, such as those who profit from Kosher and Halal.

Personally, I am happy with my zoophagous tastes. I supplement my diet with protien-laden ungulates, seafood and poultry. It is symbiotic relationship where their premature death nourishes a greater consciousness and denies their natural final demise to lower eukaryote consumption.

In my consumption I hope the retailers do not kill wantonly or wastefully. There should be no veiling of the sacrifice made at the abattoir. I am dispirited that the origin of packaged meat products is obscured just to exculpate the ignorant. Full knowledge is rarely morbid and with the technology available today, it would be ethical to supply a picture of the forfeited creature, in an environment where it lived naturally content and humanely treated.

I am aware that in order to survive I deny the conscious existence of others. It is this that fuels a greater desire for knowledge.

I will never consume vitro meat ( laboratory-grown meat ) as I appreciate the animals in the farmers fields.
