The Cycle of Consumption and Consequence
The cycle of consumption creates inevitable consequences. People engage in certain actions, like eating meat, and these actions propagate through a cycle. They manifest elsewhere, moving from place to place, until they culminate in a significant problem. While one may feel powerless to stop this overall cycle, those with understanding can take action from their own position. The effective action is personal discretion in consumption. This means choosing a very good diet, specifically one that avoids harming animals. The prescribed method is to eat only fruits and similar pure foods. This individual discipline is the available recourse against the pervasive cycle.
"You can do anything, but it will be like this."
"Only eat more now, very much, only fruits, very good."
