Meat eater or vegetarian, everything eaten was once alive.

I eat very little meat (usually once to twice per week), and I would much prefer to be vegetarian but my wife cannot go in that direction because it negatively affects her immunity system. With me, otoh, I've gone for months without eating any meat, and I much prefer how I feel when I do that.

As a practitioner of a spiritual path it is very important to not kill an animal, also to gain food. But if you did come across a already dead animal in the forest, technically you could eat this meat since there is no life in it.
And also we must think about if we going to visit somewhere, and they serve food, that if one choose to eat the meat, that the animal was not killed dedicated to you directly. Because this would create karma not only for the one who did the killing, but also morally for you since you choose to eat it.

My religion doesn't encourage or forbid meat consumption. It's a personal choice.
I don't like meat much and I dislike even more the way animals are treated so I eat meat very rarely but I don't necessarily have something against it. I just wish that while they are alive animals were treated with the respect and dignity all living creatures deserve.

Meat sold in a store? technically, it is dead animal? Sometimes humans have no choice, e.g. Eskimo, little ice age?

I would point out and tell people to look at nature and remind them that we are a part of it.
Something called the cycle of life.

We always have a choice, But there is always the aspect of morality that linger. Eskimos has their ways of living, I dont judge them for how they live.

I don't eat meat for taste, I eat meats for food.

I eat meat for the proteins, enzymes, vitamins and other nutrients that I cannot process from plants because I have specific dietary needs due to health.

Speaking theologically, the biblical text includes God's statement to Noach that (Gen 9:3) that meat may be eaten. This webiste, though, explores some of the more spiritual explanations: Judaism and Vegetarianism
