Over 12 years ago, I ditched my diet and resigned myself to being fat for the rest of my life. Instead of extreme diets and starvation plans, I turned my attention to healing my body and getting healthy. In the process, much to my surprise and delight, I effortlessly lost over 60 pounds.

Issues with lust, power, control, drugs, etc., do not simply go away by themselves after some experience of oneness or enlightenment or God! It takes a lot of self-reflection, conscious “letting go” and the ability to ask for help and apologize, regularly.

Logically—I can’t think of a reason not to. Morally—would eating my dog be better than ordering a steak? The whole world can’t be vegetarian or vegan, so how would eating dogs help? It might create a relationship between people and the animals we eat that is—now—less common.
