Yes, I do. I acknowledge that it is my opinion and you don't have to agree, difference is I don't attempt to force my ideas on to other people.

ah, where's my forceps mmph mmph, let me try to find them to try to FORCE 'ideas' on some more people

Unfortunately, my personal truth is that I start to feel kind of weak, faint and dizzy if I go without eating meat for a long time. My doctor said I have some anemia issues. However, I should experiment with eating plant protein instead of meat protein, more. And see if that continues to happen. Everybody's different physically. What's good for some might not be good for others.

Funny about that fear of low iron. My family never had it. We had the opposite problem...too much. Which can make clots when you get older. anything green thickens the blood. I can't imagine not eating green things

Inhumane slaughterhouses are a very bad thing. So is overpopulation of pets and the associated shelter euthanasias which happen daily.
-
Suffice to say I simply wish the best to all, in whatever their personal goals and values may be, along with an empathy for those adversely affected by twists of fate which regretfully happen through whatever deck dealt it out.

Plants are living too, why is their 'murder' okay? Are you going to say something about 'consciousness'? We have no knowledge of any consciousness other than our own (human). Murder exists in nature and is part of life. It sucks and especially sucks when humans do it to humans.

when those who eat animals try to come with this 'oh plants are killed' cry me a river, as if they so CARE, it is always hilarious, because their lifestyle is responsible for killing much more plants than a vegan lifestyle. PLUS killing the planet as a whole.
you speak of 'nature' but there is nothing natural about the murder industry and it is hardly comparable with the actual carnivorous animals' activities in nature with their respectively-designed digestive systems, stomach pH, teeth, instincts, claws, etc.. so, listen to what the man said.
also noteworthy - 
why don't all the supposed Sir Paul fans who have learnt nothing from his example take up that senseless argument with him? will they to take up that nonsense logic with him? he openly prescribes to not kill and eat animals -
All that rhetoric and none of it cleared up my question of, what's the difference? I like Paul's music, nothing more nothing less.

easy. I need to survive. that's how I can justify it. the environmental factor works better in showing people benefits of eating less meat. I was raised Catholic among Jewish folk. I am thus immune to any guilt trips about anything. it was a side effect of my rebellion.

Your one-word negative shows a lack of anything backing up your claim. But there is one backing up mine. Survival is one of the first keys to claiming something is alive. Self preservation. (There are others. I don't remember what they all are or how many of them there are. Growth is one. I need to either dig out my 6th grade science book or watch that Star Trek TNG episode again). but my main point was that survival was the first and primary characteristic of any living organism. If I were not to try and survive, I would not be living. Even Dirk Benedict whose strict vegan diet would put yours to shame, wrote in his book Confessions of a Kamikaze Cowboy, about how one must eat for one's region. And even though he just gave many a nutritional account on the bad things about eating meat and wild game, if he was in the Northern parts of the globe, he'd have to eat meat. Even he admitted the limitations of the diet he was promoting. (But how the rest of us don't live in the north)

and eating animals' flesh is against the survival and lives of the animals, against the survival and lives of those eating it, and against the lives and survival of the planet as a whole.
Kathryn O:
Self preservation.
so-called 'self-preservation' at the cost of so many others' lives. we're not in the jungle. we have choice. vegans living everyday in the same real world with the same real circumstances are living proof that this same 'self-preservation' is very well accomplished without bloodshed. 'self-preserve' THAT.
