I am feeling real good about having my stomach filled with roast chicken today. I really don't feel dishonest for eating the chicken but it made me think of Dasa - wish you were here man, you would have loved it 😉
A religion that gets between you and a roast dinner has got to suck.

Originally posted by AThousandYoungLook I'll be honest. I have been trying out soya meat (alternative for meat/proteins for vegetarians) but for health reasons only. And yeah I don't like animals being killed either but if killed for food I don't care, but just for killing, that is a big problem. 95% of ALL the time I only eat vegetarian food when getting take aways cause it tastes better than other food (well this is my opinion).
Vegetarianism is morally superior to meat eating. He deserves respect for that.
This is all personal and does not effect my religion. Dasa has targeted the wrong people and who he should target are the people actually committing the real crime. Dasa wants you to listen but he wont listen to you - where is the honesty in this? By attacking our religion resulted in a "war" thus for falsely accusing the Word of God I will keep on hitting back cause I will not stop at anyone especially the Dasa's and the wannabe Dasa's out there.

Concerning the original post, I must say that roast vegetables can also be quite exquisite. If you think not, then you're not using the right spices.
