I was strictly vegetarian, almost vegan from 1982 to 2002 .... then I started eating fish again ... and skeptics in here say I would never change my mind?
I just had some health problems, started looking into nutrition became concerned about low Omega 3 (mainly in fish) in my diet ... since then I have been 'piscatarian' (a vegetarian who occasionally eats fish or takes omega 3 fish capsules). Vegans need to be careful to eat often uncommon seeds like flax, pumpkin, etc.
People say we are what we eat but it is false, we are what we can digest, it varies from person to person. Also cats have short intestines, dogs have longer ...so a cat would struggle (I think) on a vegan diet.
With regard to ethics ..... if materialistic scientists tell humans they are purely biological/neurological robots using unconscious responses , having no conscious free will in a purely deterministic universe....if so, ethics in science will become very hollow, criminals become victims of circumstances and switching off your computers will one day be a form of murder
Fortunately materialists aren't quite right
Something more interesting is occuring than the creationist ideas in past religion or creationist ideas in classical physics with eternal mechanical laws
Enjoyed listening.
