FYI
"As long as man continues to be the ruthless destroyer of lower
beings, he will never know health or peace. For as long as men
massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the
seeds of murder and pain cannot reap joy and love"
-Pythagorus
Pythagorus also felt that eating beans, I have no idea what type, was
blasphemous because they produced flatuence. He was the leader of a somewhat
violent cult which actively surpressed many mathmatical ideas, the concept
of zero for example. When a mob attacked his house, I know not why but doubt
if is was anti-vegetarian, he ran away, but refused to enter a bean field
and was caught and killed by the mob. Now I can see giving up your life in
refusing to eat meat (sort of), but beans? Aren't they a mainstay of a
vegetarian diet.
Sorry if this is off the track, but if I don't get these things out of my
head, it bothers me all day.
