Animals as Food
Comments by Frank and Mary Hoffman - 11 Aug 2010

Dear Felix:

Thank you for writing, but we've heard all these arguments before to try to justify the killing and eating of animals.

Humans are not really omnivores, we are fruitivores. We may be able to partially tolerate the eating of animals, but it will lead to many chronic diseases, which vegans don't get.

On the side of being humane and ending cruelty to animals. If an animal wants to live and be free of pain and suffering, and you take his or her life, aren't you being cruel?

The only thing wrong with being on the top of the food chain is knowingly causing another living being to suffer and die for us when it is totally unnecessary.

And, there is no ethical way to compromise on causing another living being to suffer and die.

You should take a look at the recipe and health section on our web site.

We look forward to hearing from you again.

In the Love of the Lord,

Frank and Mary
