Nice name zen master. :p Back to topic, well like I already mentioned a healthy balanced diet is the ticket. But also remember----sadly, with as many people on this planet as there are this is what is required to feed us all. It's an assembly line. This is also the case with plant life that we eat. It is an assembly line where plants are genetically engineered and pumped full of chemicals...just like the animals we eat. A human vegetarian is no different than a human omnivore in regards to the effect we have on the industrialization of food. So make sure where you do your groceries. I do want to say one more thing about plant-life. I find the miracle of a plant having life no less amazing than animals having life. Therefore, when someone suggests that killing animals somehow carries more weight than killing a plant I get kinda pissed off. Just teh question is how they are killed. I think we know two things pretty well on this planet: we need to eat to live and we need to kill to eat. The only difference between a vegan who claims veganism for moral reasons and me (as I see it) is that the vegan has somehow justified that plants are worth less than animals. A note: I'm not trying to rattle cages. I'm just trying to express myself in something less than a novel. :)
