A) "pleasure" implies that "fun" is the only reason to eat meat, and not everyone agrees that going vegetarian, vagan, or all-raw is healthy.
B) Not all meat comes from factory farms, some meat is raised in huamne, free-range environments. It's hard to get and not cheap, but it is available.

A)
"you are missing the point" Possibly, but so are you.
The example was more offensive than the rest of the column, but the entire blog post was disturbing to me.
B) It was one of the largest examples of a group that he described as evil. (
"Is a darkworker evil? From the perspective of a lightworker or from non-polarized people, you could say yes.") Steve has multiple times identified as a lightworker.

See above, or heck, I'll just repeat myself:
"Is a darkworker evil? From the perspective of a lightworker or from non-polarized people, you could say yes." Sure sounds judgmental to me. I grant you, with the word "could" he left wiggle room... but... not a lot of it. I do not honestly believe I've taken this out of context.
