Ja, natürlich war Jesus das! Aber Jesus hätte doch ebenfalls Fleisch gegessen, wird dagegen oft als Rechtfertigung angeführt. Und zwar immer von den Leuten, die es auch noch gutheißen, dass andere Lebewesen wegen ihrer Gaumenfreuden getötet werden. Und das, ohne irgendwelche ethischen Bedenken!

In a world where every path to peace has proved futile, the one strategy that hasn't been tried is the way of peace itself. "We must not bring one war to an end, or 30," Chopra tells us, "but the idea of war itself."
