There are many different reasons people today may consider becoming vegetarians. The first is that we cause harm to another living being that also feels pain. When we cause pain to another living being, we are perpetuating harm and negative Karma against ourselves.
Also when the animal senses its death it release massive amounts of toxins into its own system which then a person ingests.
The second reason is that animals are being fed so many steroids, growth hormones and other artificial chemicals that when one ingests this meat, these chemicals become a part of your body.
Here is another point of view from a great writer.

Apples of Hesperides
by Amy Lowell
Glinting golden through the trees,
Apples of Hesperides!
Through the moon-pierced warp of night
Shoot pale shafts of yellow light,
Swaying to the kissing breeze
Swings the treasure, golden-gleaming,
Apples of Hesperides!.
Far and lofty yet they glimmer,
Apples of Hesperides!
Blinded by their radiant shimmer,
Pushing forward just for these;
Dew-besprinkled, bramble-marred,
Poor duped mortal, travel-scarred,
Always thinking soon to seize
And possess the golden-glistening
Apples of Hesperides!.
Orbed, and glittering, and pendent,
Apples of Hesperides!
Not one missing, still transcendent,
Clustering like a swarm of bees.
YIELDING TO NO MAN’S DESIRE,
GLOWING WITH A SAFFRON FIRE,
Splendid, unassailed, the golden
Apples of Hesperides!
goodnight my sweet heart,xoxoxoxo

Someone’s case study :p
“At the last period of your father’s life, he has to live in a nursing home because he, in his past life, did not perform many meritorious actions, so he is lacking of merit about taking care of his parents. The present life is close to his past pictures that he only sent money to his parents and did not visit them himself because he was busy working.
2. Your mother likes to accumulate merit so much and had the chance to make merit with Luang Pu when he was still alive because she has had a meritorious relation with Luang Pu and the merit-making group for lives. Also, she liked to make wishes after performing meritorious actions to meet Luang Pu and every great master. Her place is in the provisions division.
At the last period of your mother’s life, she suffers with blood pressure, rheumatoid, thyroid and tumbles so many times that her ankles become weak which obstruct her from coming to the temple because she, in her past life, killed petty animals for many times and in many lives. These retributions take action together and cause her to suffer with many diseases at the last period of her life.
She does not have gum edge, so she cannot use false teeth. This gives her difficulties to eat and defecate. It is because of her own speech retribution in her past life. In one life, when she was a kid, she liked to gossip her grandparents and old relatives who taught her. Besides, she, in that life, was stubborn and tough to the senior people who were mentioned. These retributions take action together which gives her a difficulty to defecate as well.
3. You and your mother have made merit since your very young age because you both, in your past, were mother and child. You made merit with our merit-making group before and made wishes carefully to make merit since your very young age with your mother.
That you have to take care of your mother which obstructs you from coming to the temple for years is not because of any retribution. It is just your special merit that you get the chance to take care of your mother for years. Even though you have not come to the temple for years, you still do not miss any single merit. And the merit that you take care of your mother bears these brief fruits, i.e. you will be born in a family that takes good care of you, your life will be prosperous and never goes down, your descendants will listen to you and take good care of you like what you are doing now.
4. After your grandfather died, he became a handsome male angel owning a gold heavenly mansion in phase 2 of Tavatimsa (the 2nd level of heaven) due to the merits he made in Buddhism. Receiving the merits transferred to him, he gains more heavenly property.
5. That your grandmother felt like something speedily came into her body was only her imagination because she was worried. But actually, nothing got into her body. It was only a symptom of the disease.
Your grandmother’s hip was inflamed and painful because she, in her past life, liked to punish her servants by hanging them with crossbeams and hit their hips hard with some wood due to her anger in order to punish them for their guilt.
6. That the doctor at your neighborhood said that your grandmother was addicted to drugs which caused the nurse to give her the wrong medication was because of her own retribution from the same past life. In that life, a slave in her house was sick, and she diagnosed the sickness by herself and gave that slave a wrong medication until that slave’s symptom turned worse and he later passed away.
She was tired and kept sitting down and standing up repeatedly throughout the whole night because she took the wrong medication, and the fire element in her body was destroyed because her life had come to the end.
After your grandmother died, she was around for 7 days and later became a beautiful female angel owning a gold heavenly mansion in phase 2 of Tavatimsa (the 2nd level of heaven) due to merits she regularly made in Buddhism. Receiving merits transferred to her, she gains more heavenly property.
7. Water got into your eldest brother’s ears which destroyed their hearing ability, and he had to get many surgeries, but nothing turned better, because he, in his past life, did not listen to his parents when they taught him or told him to do works.
Your eldest brother is a nice guy, but he had to be tricked by his friend until he was sued for bankruptcy, and this lawsuit is still unfinished up to now because he, in his past life, also borrowed somebody’s money and did not pay it back. He had his friend get some loan for him, and he did not make a payment until that friend had to take this responsibility. This incident does not match his present good deeds, but it matches his mentioned past deed.
8. Your youngest sister was good-looking and liked to make merit since her very young age because she performed meritorious actions in Buddhism in her past life, and that gave her beautiful appearance and good parents who recommended her to walk on the virtuous path. Besides, she herself likes to walk on this path too.
But she passed away when she was 5 years old due to dengue fever because she, in one past life, liked to kill baby animals, e.g. baby pigs, baby ducks, baby chickens, calves for food.
After death, she is already reincarnated as a human, so she cannot receive merit.
9. Your uncle has suffered from asthma and bad health since when he was first born because he, in his past life, liked to torture animals, e.g. making them work too much, teasing kittens and puppies for many times, especially, he liked to throw baby chickens into water to see if they could swim like baby ducks or not.
He is so orderly and clean that he becomes worried about everything because of his past deeds, i.e. mental deed that he liked to think about wicked things, speech deed that he liked to speak bad things, methodic habit and the habit that he liked to catch others’ faults. These are principle retribution. Drinking retribution is only a supportive retribution. A person who gets worried so easily that he cannot sleep easily and tightly throughout the whole night until he becomes tired is affected by drinking retribution as a supportive retribution.
10. Your uncle and his wife do not have a child because your uncle, in his past life, liked to eat eggs which had chicken that hens were hatching due to the thought that they were elixir or tonic.
He has to take care of his wife who suffers from neurosis because they both have drinking retribution from their past lifetime. Especially, your uncle liked to give others alcohol as a gift. These retributions take action together.
11. Your right ankle is very inflamed, and the pain is on and off all the time because you, in your past life, liked to chain your servants to iron to punish them for their faults, so that they would be chastened.
To solve it, you need to accumulate every merit like donation, precept observance and meditation and make a wish to be free from this retribution, as well as transfer merits to people whom you punished too.
12. You and your mother pursed perfection in the provisions division of our merit-making group persistently. You both could attain the clear crystal ball and the crystal Buddha image which was enough to bring you back to Tusita (the 4th level of heaven). Your siblings have meritorious relation with our merit-making group in the provisions division. Some of them made merit persistently, but some did not.
They gave your mother money, and she spends that money to make merit. The brief fruits they will get are they will become mother and children again and will have meritorious relation with our merit-making group. When the group comes back to the world again to pursue perfection, they will come to the world to pursue perfection with the group as well.
Since we have met again in this life, you need to pursue perfection with all your might and make a wish to follow our group to the special merit zone of Tusita, the land of Bodhisatta , and never stray away from our group.” :p

Hi honey,
Update about MJ’s case study. :p Saturday, he was sitting legs out , hands back, asking himself, why me? for all trouble he was facing :p He was sad, freak out.
(the reason i can smile while talking about other people’s sad story because i know the truth of life from the master and how to deal with things baby :p )
Howard , his best friend , made merit for him at temple in Hong Kong, offered rope, food to monks and cast golden Buddha for MJ, so he got the merit energy making his mind clearer, he now knows that he is died for sure and walking around, look out the window, tries to communicate with human. :p
He needs more merit , of course, Howard asks the master’s students to make merit for him, People and monks in CA also made some for him. Howard meditate better and more, he saw the room bright while it is dark when he was meditating for MJ to send pure energy to him. :p

Darling Cameron as I was reading the interview above with the author of The Face On Your Plate,just this fleeting thought came to my mind - war has existed eversince civilization evolved (maybe even before civilization there may have been fights).And wars are all bloody full of bloodshed.The same is now too.Especially in places where there is war,the people are heavy meat eaters and that just is how they are - absorbed in their negative energy and toxins and thus seeing red and blood all the time continuosly fighting wars causing bloodshed.
Obviously not only in war zones do people behave so bloody but also everywhere where else - it is those people who are over-heated,are so full of toxins and are totally absorbed in negative energy and stress which they absorb from the tortured and stressed animals which are slaughtered and which finally is eaten by humans.Those people also emitt foul smelling gasses and odours not just as a matter of indigestion but from all pores of their skin too!
Well,the big difference one can make out between persons who eat meat and persons who are vegetarians is that the difference is one which is felt on the inside - inside one’s body - inside one’s system.When one has learnt to feel luck and bliss and the source of luck and bliss one would always want to adhere to it.That is knowing where you come from and where you’re going to.

Good morning my sweet darling angel Cameron
I adore you honey love! Hugs & starry kisses

Ray, well written thank you :p
MJ’s case study. May i share with you what i learn from the master?
He got the merit that Howard, his friend made and all people made for him, offering rope, food and cast golden Buddha for him.
Offer to non-specific monks, 4 up is the best merit field as they carry 227 precepts. :p
MJ is now looking 16-18 years old, his age reduced by power of merit, his skin is younger and healthy bright glowing , his before+after/2 :p
His mind is bright, he thinks of Howard and dont know why :p (cuz Howard makes merit and cast buddha images for him :p )
He is waiting for “God” he believes in
He missed opportunity to meet authorities from hell that supposed to come to pick him up to learn for such long long long time by power of merit, his good friend changes his destiny, the turning point. however it is better you can walk by yourself than other helps you to? :p
Teaching , showing others to do :p
Howard dreamt of MJ, MJ told him about the fan who commit suicide NOT TO, Howard inspired to compose the song ” it is not Love” not the way of showing love :p
Who commit suicide went straight to hell not meeting MJ as he will go to fortunate happier realm :p
How are you all sweetie? I miss you but Triple Gem is the real refuge and meditation is the real happiness and purpose of life.
It has comes true :p I love you I love you :p :p :p

The meat from the animal which was slaughtered - that animal which released a WHOLE SHIT LOAD OF toxins before it’s death and the chemicals it was fed with before it was slaughtered , cause decay of poisonous meat in the body of the persons eating that meat because the chemicals cause chemical reactions which result in foul and poisonous gasses which the system then begins to release.This is also a major reason for pre-mature ageing as the toxic and decayed meat becomes part of one’s body and the body - the flesh,the skin and the organs begin to decay gradually.The blood begins to carry the toxins to the tissues of the cells and muscles and well you can complete the story.IT’S YOUR STORY AFTERALL.
One is unfitt generally as the brain too does not honestly function to it’s best and full potential as the body which has ingested all the toxins and absorbed all that stress and chemicals and negative energy also affects the mind!!
Eating suffering animals by harming them and torturing them to death and then feeding on the energies of TORTURE & SLAUGHTER is the BIGGEST & HUGEST & LARGEST & FIRST & FOREMOST the MAIN CAUSE and root of human suffering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
