Most of you who are reading this article are immortal spirits animating meat bodies. Some of you may deny you are a spirit and claim immunity from responsibility by claiming you are only a meat body and will die and your soul will go to heaven. Good luck with that excuse! I feel that we made the decision to animate meat bodies a very long time ago and will have a hard time switching back to animating mechanical doll bodies that don’t need food.
As our planetary awareness continues to increase, we are going to see more news like this:

All living things are animated by spirits. You can verify that for yourself by simply communicating with them. Where Native American Indians were known to give thanks for the use of their animal prey, we give thanks to the barbecue master instead. This is one of the issues with wearing a meat body. It requires sustenance from living material of some sort. You may have decided that the spirits in plant life are somehow different than the spirits in animal life and have justified that eating plant life is better than eating animal life.
When a spirit makes a decision to animate a meat body, it is taking responsibility for its actions and its responsibility for the environment. A being can decide to be a predator or a spectator in life. Being grass and plant life carries no responsibility for other life forms, or for world peace, mortgages, alimony, or anything other than survival. You might say that being plant life means providing food to other life forms. Being a meat body means providing food for other life forms unless you are at the top of the food chain and then you resist being food for anything else.
We have made some decisions about eating animals based on their apparent intelligence which is why we don’t eat animals we consider pets. We get quite upset with cultures that raise these pets as food and try to rescue these animals when we discover they are being eaten. We get upset for the same reason when people eat other people, even in emergency situations, because eating intelligent life feels wrong.
So, if a being decides to be unintelligent and uncommunicative, we have decided that its body can be eaten. Those animals which take the time to communicate are now being taken off the approved food list. Pets, dolphins, communicative birds, and any animal showing intelligence are not considered food by most cultures.
On the other hand, there are human cultures that ate other humans to capture their spiritual attributes. Eating an enemy gave them the power and abilities of the enemy and is an extreme form of dominance.
And of course, there are insects who have decided that all living tissue is food without regard to who is animating it. They are spirits who have no responsibility for any other life than themselves and eat their kin as readily as they munch on us and any other living things.
Once you decide to animate a living body, you get the benefit of emotions and sensations but you need to consume other living things to survive. You get into all sorts of interesting agreements about who you can eat and you decide that beings below a certain level of intelligence can be food and those above that level are allies or opponents but not food.
If we decide to animate mechanical bodies again, we will avoid the food problem but may have trouble socializing with spirit eaters. We will still have spirit guides and other spirits to deal with so it will be interesting to see an android with emotional problems getting SRT processing to stay emotionally healthy.
We have some interesting things to look forward to in future lifetimes.
