    Hi Takumi! Welcome to the community brother! Japan is a land that is very dear to my soul, so it’s always nice to meet new brothers and sisters from there 😁

    I personally haven’t eaten any meat since 2011/2012, I can’t remember exactly when, I think 2012.

    I do consume a good amount of raw milk, first of all because it doesn’t involve the senseless slaughter of any animals, but secondly because the cows (and other animals) are willing to share their milk with us. Anastasia talks about this, and says it’s not a problem to consume milk.


    In Book 8.1, Volodya says: Mama [Anastasia] says it is all right to use anything the animals themselves give to Man.”

    From Book 8.2, Grandfather says to Vladimir: As for animals, they took from them only what the animals themselves gave to Man — milk and eggs, for example. Meat could have been harmful to the stomachs of the first people.”


    Also, in Book 8.2, Grandfather says to Vladimir:

    “Meat was first consumed by a less-than-complete Man, one drained of the energy of Love. It seems that he either went out of his mind or was infected with the most terrible disease – a disease which has come down to the present day.”

    Vladimir responds: “But what connection can there be between love and Man’s first consumption of meat?”

    “There is a direct connection. A Man living in love is incapable of killing.”

    I’m in complete agreement on the subject — the idea of killing an animal to consume its flesh is unthinkable to me. I’ve been extremely healthy and strong for the last 12 years without eating meat at all.
