That's right, I said vegetarians are murderers. Just because you think that you're more advanced than plant life doesn't mean that plants do not feel, that they do not have lives worth living. You yank them out of the ground, you chop them up, you murder them in horrible ways and then you have the nerve to say bad things about meat eaters. You do not see the blood or hear the screams, so you think everything is fine. What would you do if aliens landed who looked like a larger, more evolved version of one of your favorite vegetables? If those aliens had no faces, would you try to eat them or would you leave them alone since they might be able to fight back?
And what about water? It could be called the blood or at least the lymph fluid of Mother Earth. That means that not only are you a murderer, but you're also a disgusting parasite sucking on Mother Earth's precious juices. Yes, you'll return it to the Earth, but only after you pollute it.
Don't misunderstand me, I'd rather be a vegetarian than a meat eater. I think a lifelong diet of mostly raw, fresh, clean fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds is what most humans should eat if they want to feel better and be healthier, but don't think that you're any better than meat eaters. If you want to be judged innocent by the universe, your only solution is to eat and drink nothing. If you don't think you can do that, if you're so spiritually unevolved that you require food and water, maybe you should accept the fact that you are a murderous leech and do your best to evolve to a new level, or failing that, try not to act so superior when you are around people who eat meat.
Here's something that Cory Daniel (The Phoenix Enigma) said on March 26, 2020:
The law of karma, the law of polarity states that you cannot have something for nothing. The price has to be paid. This is true in physics. This is physics here. This isn't witchcraft or sorcery. There has to be a price. For you to live, you have to eat a plant. You have to kill. Yes vegetarians and vegans, you are killing a plant. Just because you lack the senses to hear a piece of celery screaming… It sounds crunchy when you eat it, right? Oh no, that's not a good crunch now to the other celery on the plate, right? No.
Because you lack the senses to hear when you rip something's roots from the ground and it dies slowly, like a potato in the back of your cupboard, reaching and growing towards the light, that you forgot about for three months. You look down there and they're growing as best they can towards the light, towards that crack in the cupboard, right? They're dying slowly in there. Everything must die for you to live.
For you to wash your body every day in the shower to kill the bacteria and the fungus and the virus, you're killing millions, hundreds of millions of things on you every single day so that you can live. Your body is constantly killing bacteria and virus and fungus and molds and everything else in your gut, in your stomach. You are a living biological system of millions, hundreds of millions of living organisms that are battling each other in a balance so that you can operate and live your life.
In case you didn't know, at least some plants have a desire to live. Various plants try to defend themselves against attack. Time-lapse footage of different plants also shows that they are constantly moving and doing amazing things like reaching and grabbing. It's a little scary to see just how alive they really are. Should you kill them just because their movements are too slow for you to notice?
Many people point out that plants do not have a nervous system, so they cannot possibly feel pain. OK, since plants have no discernible nervous system, how do they know that they grabbed onto anything? How do they know they are being attacked? Where does the fear come from if they can't feel? There must be something there that most scientists are not seeing.
You've probably read that if you avoid meat and only eat plants, you're killing fewer plants since animals eat so much, but that still makes you a murderer. Meat eaters might be worse, but there is no way out of it; you're still a murderer. We all know that meat eaters are murderers. They murder plants and animals, but many vegetarians act like their hands are clean. You cannot eat without killing some kind of life form. Unless you stop eating, you will always be a murderer.
This page is only half serious, but really, if you want to do as little harm as possible to living plants, you should think about becoming a fruitarian. It seems eating unplucked fruits and nuts caught in nets below trees would do the least harm.

If you ignore what I said and pick an apple instead of catching it in a net when it falls naturally, then a tree throws an apple at your head and you get brain damage, that's your fault. You're the one who made the tree angry, not me.
