My translation from Hebrew of an eloquent reply someone gave to a comment titled `Why I'm a vegetarian and not a vegan':
Vegetarians are closer to vegans in intent, but closer to meat eaters in results.
The egg and dairy industry are tied 1:1 with the meat industry.
Every time you eat an egg you kill a chick.
Every time you drink milk you send a calf to the slaughterhouse.
It must be like this even in a farm with the "best" conditions.
Because you cannot let calfs drink your milk or support male chicks and stay within the bounds of being economical.
Switch to veganism my dear. You will see it's particularly easy for you, cause you are already there in your
intent.
תעשיות החלב והביצים קשורות 1:1 עם תעשיית הבשר. כל פעם כשאתה אוכל ביצה אתה הורג אפרוח זכר וכל פעם כשאתה צורך מוצר חלב אתה שולח עגל לשחיטה. זה חייב להיות כך גם במשק עם התנאים הכי "טובים" שיש כי אי אפשר לתת לעגלים לשתות לך את חלב או להחזיק אפרוחים זכרים ולהישאר בתחום הכלכליות. עבור לטבעונות יקירי, תראה שזה קל במיוחד לך כי אתה כבר ממילא שם בכוונתך.
Personal reflections, random thoughts, mostly but not exclusively and unintentionally related to Buddhism and the spiritual path. More specifically, a lot of what is written here is influenced by my practice of Vipassana meditation as taught by S.N. Goenka.
