if they really want to die and it's not just a spur of the moment thing or something which can be cured, then that's alright with me.

Also the soil is has much less nutrients than in the past. Many vegetables etc. don't have the same amount of healthy nutrients as they did some time ago.

They do generally eat some meat, dairy, eggs etc. in the blue zones though. But around 95% plants.

nice ^^

can you recommend some good one?

I tried the carnivore diet for a month for "health reasons" once. Was generally a bit more relaxed and had less gut issues than usually, might have had a bit more energy in the beginning then usually but in the end of the month i felt kind of tired. I liked the relaxed factor because usually i'm a bit anxious and also easily stressed and this was even during some exams which would make me more stressed probably. But the diet is also far too boring for me i really like veggies and fruits etc. too. I've also tried vegetarian diets, my longest one was about 6 months.

If that's the only issue you can give the vegetarian or vegan diet a try and as soon as you're feeling worse you can go back to meat.

India has some delicious vegetarian and vegan food for sure. Italy has great vegetarian food too.

I don't know much about spiral dynamics but it does have something to do with "stages of development" right? So you do think people who aren't eating meat are more evolved if they have a higher stage of morals?

Also if i could stop mass animal factory farming today then i would, i think that's overdoing it by a long shot. But also some things like Avocados which most vegans love are environmentally very problematic for the "carbon footprint" etc. they consume masses of water and need to be imported to Europe for example. Woodlands and forests get cut down to grow them etc.

Many people have problems with digesting dairy and are sensitive to it. Or even lactose or casein intolerant etc. Many are not though and many people have no problem whatsoever digesting meat. Some vegans/vegetarians might say that a lot of the cancer is because people are eating so much meat. But i don't know if that's true. I think cancer has a lot to do with diet, but not really with meat specifically just a lot of "junk food"

What i've heard and don't know if it's true. Is that people who have their ancestry in warm, sunny climates like Africa and generally darker skin. Tend to become vitamin d deficient easily if they live in climates with long, cold grey winters. So they maybe should really supplement it for example. And many people generally stay indoors too much in winters in colder climates, they need to get out more or supplement. Also vitamin d is rather a hormone than a vitamin here's from google "Vitamin D is actually a hormone rather than a vitamin; it is required to absorb calciumfrom the gut into the bloodstream. Vitamin D is mostly produced in the skin in response to sunlight and is also absorbed from food eaten (about 10% of vitamin D is absorbed this way) as part of a healthy balanced diet."

^^Yea that was a decent report, pretty one-sided but that's ok I don't know what i'd do since i've never been in such a situation. Krishna said something like "If you find yourself in a war (and you're in a position age etc. to fight) you basically fight and fulfill your destiny, just without hate etc. (at least that's what i got out of the Bhagavad Gita) But with todays weapons if i was Armenian i'd probably leave Nagorno-Karabakh for the moment, because i wouldn't want to be blown to pieces by a sneaky drone for basically nothing. Ceasefire takes action

Not in certain places. In certain cultures they still eat dogs today.

Not for me, far tooooo long, lot's of filler etc. I liked Hunter x Hunter, Code Geass and Deathnote though and some of the older ones

Alright Why did you go back to chicken every 2 months, after being vegan? Did you feel healthy on a vegan diet? Also why don't you go to a farmer and try to kill a chicken if you think about that a lot? Have you ever seen the videos of Japanese and Koreans eating fish and squid which is still alive? lol @ Eckhart Tolle saying Hitler was vegetarian. Of course i knew that but it's funny how he says it. Tolle also eats meat sometimes and i've read the Buddha and the Dalai Lama did/do too if offered.

Do you think plants etc. could have some kind of awareness too and wouldn't want to be eaten or cut down?

I'm guessing either some kind of perfectionism, like you must be almost perfect to be good enough for people to like you. Or some kind of bullying in the past which made you think you're not good looking enough. Leo has an episode on self-love, which i haven't really listened to yet but will soonish. One way would be to just try to become more aware/conscious whenever you feel bad about your looks etc. just try to go into that awareness and stay present if you can. And try to observe the feeling and thoughts from the observer perspective.

Survival of whom?

@integral what are you trying to say with these videos, can you elaborate?

Above identifying with the mind/ego etc. a lot is probably what i wanted to write.

The EU doesn't even have an army, what exactly should they do, or are you talking about sanctions etc. The French which are the strongest army by far in the EU are demanding cease fire etc. and are very critical of Turkey also in the east mediterranean etc. I mean Turkey is still a NATO partner for strategical reasons. The US would have to step in or Russia. But let's see how these peace talks in Russia go. Also there might be a UNO resolution since France, US and Russia are all permanent members and are not really pro Turkey on this.

Cool thanks man. I've never heard of the guy until he made that video about Leo which popped up here.

well it's hard to say as Eckhart Tolle says (i think) animals are basically below thinking, strategizing, plotting etc. and awakened humans are above it, so the animals would have to become thinking, contemplaiting etc. so that they could move above it or past it. animals are very present though and they live fully in the now

That seems like a pretty decent report imo Also Russia invites Armenia and Azerbaijan for peace talks today, maybe Putin can calm the boys down a bit (or maybe not who knows whats their agenda)
