You said, in terms of how the food you eat is processed, "common sense means not at the expense of torturing animals." Are there any foods you don't eat because you don't like the way they are produced?
Hell ya! Processed food is bad.

The more raw the better.

Of course having "dominion" means being a wise "steward" of the earth and all there is in it!

I don't eat food on the brink of extinction. That's crazy! And I don't know anyone who does. Jesus man! Why do people go there?
I have been a country dweller for over a decade and grew my own food,eggs, the odd chook who looked real tasty.

For financial and family reasons I have become a suburbanite.
I try not to give all my money to Coles and Woolies. All my purchases are considered including the waste .

"Why do people go there? " well because you said you'd eat anything you like, which sounds undisciplined and possibly illegal. They like to eat human fingers in Papua New Guinea

The topic is "torturing animals", as you put it. It's not about how it is cooked after it is killed or even about how raw it is when served up to eat. How does your "common sense" ~ after taking on board what Timothy means to you ~ affect your food choices when it comes to how the animals were treated when they were still alive?

I don't know! Why don't you tell me?

What about the screams of raspberries ripped from the bramble? Just because we don't hear them, doesn't mean they don't suffer.
If they feel then they're not suffering. Raspberry consumption is part of raspberry bush reproduction.

Yep suffering is in all life. There is a way to overcome it but that's some old Buddhist magic trick ..

the point here is- and I'm sure you're aware -is that if while walking along and your next step should strike a beautiful flower, of course , as being one who appreciates gods wonders no doubt, you would conciously try to avoid stepping on it no?

And suppose some young kids were watching... you get my drift ? πŸ™‚_

[b]Brazil: Foie gras banned in Sao Paulo restaurants

I think the golden rule applies. Humans have been prey animals. Would we have lions force feed us?

We are all the same spark of life, burning back to the first. We all want to live. We all must die. Cry for us.

So how would the golden rule apply to battery hens and battery farm eggs, for example?

Jainists don't. The sky-clad ones don't wear clothes either. I suppose to be completely consistent, they would have to eat carrion rather than kill anything.


I buy my meat already packaged at the grocery store, so all my wife has to do is cook it. Then I praise God and eat it.

HalleluYah !!! Praise the LORD! Holy! Holy! Holy!
