I’m interested in hearing from folks on this board about how their eating habits, particularly eating/not eating animals and animal products, are shaped by a comprehensive worldview. I know this can be a volatile topic, but I think it’s an important one on which many good, thoughtful people arrive at a variety of places: vegan, vegetarian, ‘flexitarian’, conscious eaters who avoid factory-farmed foods of all kinds, etc. I’m less interested in ‘evangelism’ for one’s particular position and more interested in the solid, thoughtful foundational theological ideas that shape [i:98301c1757]your[/i:98301c1757] choice, even though I know it’s difficult to present ideas about a well thought out decision without feeling some inclination to convince others to concur.

It kind of puts a whole new twist on exegeting Paul’s warnings about "not eating meat offered to idols", hmm? :lol:

A group of friends from my church which meets to discuss social justice issues recently met to discus this topic. I will try to post some points from that discussion at some point. In the meantime though, here is a thoughful article from Touchstone Magazine.
