Question:
I realise it has little to do with animal consumption but rather a healthy lifestyle. I’m a vegetarian and straight edge, just curious on your guys thoughts.
Shaif, I beg to differ. I think it’s a moral and lifestyle choice.
I am well aware of what straight edge means, thanks for your input but I believe your arguement is pointless.
If I am someone who is sXe and compare my health to someone who is an abuser or just a user of recreational drugs and alcohol then I am very likely to be healthier than them due to the damage those things do to your body.
Abstaining from letting those things have the potential to damage my body would surely make me a healthier person than if I were one of those mentioned right?
Yes. Oh yeah, I always thought it was pwned.
Shaif, you offer a good arguement. Thank you.
However I have a few points to make. I agree with you that people who drink, use drugs [for pain] or have casual sex in moderation still have the ability to be healthy. I did mention in my last post that ‘recreational drugs’ were the things which cause damage to your body. These are the drugs which do not occur naturally and therefore give you an artificial and only momentary feeling of relief. I never said anything about sex having a negative effect on the body. I actually believe it is a more loosley held value within the sXe community now as times have progressed. As for alcohol being good for the body, its the same arguement as saying eating meat every week is good for the body. There are other options. Yes this lifestyle choice seems to be dominated by moral issues. Generally I believe this abstinence from drugs and alcohol is beneficial to ones health as they are not using anything which may have the potential to damage their body
