Fact = life lives on life.
True vegetarianism has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO with avoidance of eating things like animal products.
99.9999 % of "pop" vegetarianism, and 100% of what you see in magazine articles and 100% of what you see "celebrities" yammering about, have ABSOLUTELY no relationship whatsoever with REAL vegetarianism.
At root it comes out of India. The root idea is, to achieve deeper meditation (absorption into deepest personal awareness of GOD) it helps to avoid "lower" metaphysical vibrations of ESPECIALLY pork, and lamb, and beef in all forms. Idea being that for a person to ACHIEVE deepest possible rapport (communion) with the DIVINE in superhuman intimate relaxed awareness, the grossest external vibrations of crap like pork, beef, etc. worked against you. Blocked your awareness, kept you engaged in the physical world while you attempted to relax into deeper realms meta-this physical world.
Apparently, of all the worst possible things to take into your body, the supreme worst is pig stuff *YUMMMMMMY bacon) ham, etc.
Annyway, apparently vegetarianism fails unless you also intake some stuff like eggs, maybe chicken, turkey.
It's all physical, and this physicallity is merely a temporary vehicle for our souls, in which we have the OPPORTUNITY (hardly any realize it) to seek attunment with 100% ever-present LOVING (YOU ARE LOVED!) GOD. That attune-ment is waiting for you in deepest meditation on whatever form of God that you personally are able to hold most dear.
