On Vegetarianism
Have we ever thought that meat eating is the eating of carcasses or bodies of other living beings? Whatever the justification, vegetarianism should be the mind's non-attachment to what's available for us to eat to survive, what others sincerely offer us to eat or what we have to eat as a genuine health necessity.

unwise as i am, do you support vegetarianism or non-attachment - whether it's vege or meat - just dun be attached to the food - just eat to survive...
Supporting vegetarianism or supporting non-attachment (to what we eat), in the context of the human mind are two different but inseparable issues, meaning; one is a moral/value question and the other is a "cultivation" (practice) issue. If you look at it in entirety one can be both, without being hypocritical or contradictory. However, this combination answers many socio-religious & cultural questions centered around conflicts between meat and non-meat eaters and also the "either eat or starve" situation when vegetarian food is not available, etc.
