It is the difference between saying all positive numbers when you wanted to include zero too. So you say all non negative numbers to fix the fact you didn't include zero.
Originally posted by apathist I admit my confusion. I'm in flux here. Eating meat is really good, eating meat is really bad. What is a thinker to do.
Eating meat is not necessary for good health. It is however much easier to make good tasting healthy food with meat. So you need to balance difficulty with whatever argument you might have for eating meat being bad.
What reasons have you considered so far for thinking eating meat is bad?

I don't like the term "afterlife", it implies looking forward toward to the future when the "now" is where we should have most of our attention

Why else? To choose God and life or reject God and choose death.
Vedic civilisation in India saw a huge ammount of the population live very healthy from vegetables, fruit, nuts, beans/legumes and milk products. This was for thousands of years and alot of India is still vegetarian.
if people could not heal or live nicely from eating a lacto veg diet then it would have shown in this huge population and their thousands of years of experimention.
Health usually had more to do with wealth there and if the person had free time to let their body heal and to eat nice food alot, rather than eat less and work more like many poorer people would.
Fatness was considered a sign of being wealthy and still is in many places but it was fatness from eating good food instead of modern western fatness which is from eating things that are not supposed to be eaten.
the reason most meat eaters dont believe this is they stopped growing the diveristy of proteins in the colder countries in the west, they lost the knowledge of how to grow these things and also how to prepare them.
they need to be soaked and washed to digest well so often meat eaters who try them out eat them in indigestible form and then say they gave them a fair try but they did not give them the energy they needed.
meat is like fast food and the things that are better than meat are like home cooking, more work but worth it
go to an indian shop and you will see many bags of varieties of nuts, dhal, peas and ghee to replace meat in a diet.

He makes a valid point though. You presented a false dichotomy. And you presented that logical confusion in an offensive way: believe as I do or be punished forever! pfft
