Our bodies require complex proteins and amino acids that only red meat can supply. Does that mean that humans cannot survive on only a plant or meat only diet? No obviously humans can as many of you in this forum do. But there is a difference between surviving and thriving.

So for me when one says they are superior to me because they only eat “dead” plants, fruits and vegetables means that perhaps they should come here to my humble little farm and shovel poop.

i disagree with the idea that harvest means death. i believe much of the life force is still present in the plant until it is broken down in some way, either by digestion bacterial or animal, or by cooking.
plants still reproduce sexually, but when its seeds germinate in the ground around the plant, competition for water and sunlight wont do either plant or sprout any good. plants need animals to poop their seeds far and wide, thats why fruit is so delicious! the infinity of animal life though does not benefit from being eaten..
i dont think that meat consumption is a detriment to spiritual growth, and i dont think exclusive vegetable consumption is a detriment to thriving.
in conclusion shoveling poop is really good money. for serious
