Isn't it strange how strongly we feel about our choice of diet? Actually, not really -- people have been doing it for as long as we have cultural memory. Taboos have been imbued moral significance by nearly every culture known to history. And I think there's a very real reason for it, just not the moral one that people tend to assume.
I think the principle of channeling energy applies here. No, I'm not talking about Ramtha or Abraham, I'm talking about millions of gallons of water rushing through a 10' pipe as opposed to falling as rain over a 10 mile radius. When you constrain the flow of water its power increases; only one of those is going to knock you over and drag you with it.
Likewise, our personal power, our energetic vibration -- however you like to describe it -- is in living consciously: in making decisions about how we are going to live our life. Especially decisions that resonate with the awareness that precedes thought, the awareness we experience as intuition and conscience. But you could just as easily call it an internal schematic for a pipeline. Now, there may be reasons that this awareness favors certain decisions, and we try to understand those and come up with a way to articulate them. But that experience is wholly interior; it is neither universal nor prescriptive. All your decision tells about you is what decision you have made.
How closely you live your conscience is far more important than what in particular your conscience is telling you.
