I had to take a step back and try to adjust my approach. Veganism is more spiritual than meat-eating... according to certain, subjective definitions of "spiritual", and not in all situations, I mean just as an imperfect way of avoiding some of the suffering that goes on in this dark world. A lightworker should look for creative ways to impact the world, not just to reduce harm -- there is only so far you can go with that approach. I don't give up honey, for instance, I don't feel like going so far. If I can inspire 10 people to change their lives I have made a bigger change than being excessively considerate to bees.

But I'm suspicious of long-term plant food *only* diets. Actually, I'm undecided about animal food only diets effect on longevity too. It's worth noting Neanderthals, one of our closest relatives, ate almost entirely meat. Scientist study species diet by bone isotopes: http://www.pnas.org/content/97/13/7663.full Current view is we out competed them for resources i.e. food. They ate fat, large game animals. So I believe humans ate meat—lots of it. I think most people are skeptical of this because they believe meat causes ills inherently. But actually it's a problem of modern meat. I can go into more detail if anybody wants. I do several more controversial views. But I can support them. (I want to respond to your second comment too.) Akemi,
