To me, it’s obvious that Dasa is aware of the fact that each living being is the food for another, for this general rule is mentioned in the Vedas. In fact, Dasa said repeatedly that each living being has a particular food which is meant for it, and, for the human beings, this food is vegetarian organic substances.
My gosh!

justification for us to limit our diet to vegetation or fruit and seed only.
Animals are eaten by other animals as part of the natural food chain as
was pointed out. I do not agree with killing animals for sport or being
cruel to animals, except pests, however.
Originally posted by RJHindsDasa's justification regarding this matter according to his tradition the way he perceives it, as well as the lack of justification according to yours the way you perceive it, are both irrelevant. I simply clarified what exactly his tradition is proposing over here, which is neither "evil" by any means, nor ill-considered or abnormal.

Whatever one will choose to eat and why, are finally related to one's evaluation of the mind alone although you both appear confident that your own evaluation of the mind is "absolutely true" and "objective" because it draws its origins from the so called "word of G-d"

and the earth. You need to view the video on creation and evolution I posted
on another thread. Maybe it would help you determine what you should
believe is true. You seem to be intelligent, but on the wrong path.
