All Agrarian religions promote the consumption of grains and beans above meat. "Give us this day our daily
bread" sums up this relationship between Man and God nicely. That the body and blood of Jesus (Greek for "Son
of Zeus") were the principle agricultural products of the Roman empire was no coincidence. This new social
contract (which became feudalism) allowed the Roman Empire to extend far beyond that of their predecessors the
Greeks.
Making domestic animals extinct is not an ethical act. Ethnicly cleansing some mice just because they're white

even the best of conditions.
Vegatarianism is not about either kindness or health. It is a reproductive stratagy of plants!
