Which particle are allowed or just particles?
Back to human. Maybe its from interesst for the vegetarian worriers and vegan worriers. In the commentary of Buddhist Monastic Code of Bhikkhu Thanisarro is written:
"Human beings, horses, and elephants were regarded as too noble to be used as food."

Re: the great vegetarian debate
Vegetarian in reference to not eating meat/sentient beings.
IMPOSSIBLE on Earth.
1. you accidentally eat insects while you sleep
2. im ~85% confident to say all Vegetable products have a government regulation for maximum amount of insects that can be inside food products such as peanut butter, bread etc. ( reason its not 100% is im not gonna research every single product )
Accidental or purposely it does not matter. but eating only vegetable products you can still basically be ~75-95% vegetarian. So in regards to 75-95% vegetarian Id yes yes very possible.
on another note, Black Beans is gr8 for protein for vegans ( one of few plants that is a complete protein. )

Re: the great vegetarian debate
It most certainly does matter. It is all about intention. The Pali Canon is permeated with Suttas against purposely and directly killing. The indirect things without intention do not create bad kamma.Ryuejaku wrote: Accidental or purposely it does not matter.
I am sure you are correct about it being nearly impossible to be 'nutritionally/diet' 100% vegetarian or especially vegan, but one can choose the least amount of violence, if one wishes.
Re: the great vegetarian debate
Im aware of intention and was not talking on accumulating bad/negative karma. mainly a violent action towards sentient beings is happening.David N. Snyder wrote:It most certainly does matter.

[quote="David N. Snyder"I am sure you are correct about it being nearly impossible to be 'nutritionally/diet' 100% vegetarian or especially vegan, but one can choose the least amount of violence, if one wishes.[/quote]
of course vegan & Vegetarian are significantly less violent then a hard core meat eater.
to use the notion of numbers & percentages on a violent scale in regards to eating sentient beings. 0-11 ( 11 is most violent) .
Vegan- .5 - 2
Vegetarian 2.5-4.5
Vegetarian that seldomly eats wild caught fish (3.5-6)
Omnivore ( who eats more plants then animals etc) 7-8
Omnivore ( whose a hard core meat eater whose freezer and fridge stacked with fish, burgers etc ) 8-10.5
for a peaceful person i would say with out a shadow of a doubt Vegan & Vegetarian is way to go.
on another note and not to jump to conclusions, I assure you my post was not to get peps to say forget vegan and vegetarian coz its not 100% possible.
just joining discussion and posting on it.

Re: the great vegetarian debate
Personally I love these threads and read the various arguments pro and con with great interest. So keep the fires stoked, my Buddha-homies.
I'm a lacto-ovo vegetarian, seen as a person of great compassion by some and a monstrous supporter of industrialized-torture-factories by others. The views of either don't influence my eating habits either way.
Oh yeah: about once every six weeks or so I consume a hamburger because I have this superstitious belief that every time I do so, one of those angry preachy vegan types chokes to death on a rice cake.

Re: the great vegetarian debate
SN 18.1
Bones And A Lump of Flesh
At one time the Blessed One was living in the squirrels' sanctuary in the bamboo grove in Rajagaha.
At that time venerable Lakkhaõa and venerable Mahàmoggallàna were living in the peaks of the Gijjha rock.
Venerable Mahàmoggallàna wearing robes in the morning and taking bowl and robes approached venerable Lakkhaõa.
Approaching said to venerable Lakkhaõa: ßFriend Lakkhaõa, let us enter Rajagaha for alms.û Venerable Lakkhaõa said: ßYes, friend.û
Venerable Mahàmoggallàna while descending from the Gijjha peak, smiled at a certain spot.
Then venerable Lakkhaõa said to venerable Mahàmoggallàna: ßFriend, Moggallàna, for what reasson did you smile?
Friend, Lakkhaõa, this is not the right time to ask that question. Ask that question in the presence of the Blessed One.û
Then venerable Lakkhaõa and venerable Mahàmoggallàna went the alms round in Rajagaha. After partaking the meal and returning from the alms round approached the Blessed One, worshipped and sat on a side.
Sitting on a side venerable Lakkhaõa said to venerable Mahàmoggallàna: ßFriend Moggallàna, when descending from the Gijjha peak you smiled at a certain spot, for what reason did you smile?û
Friend, when I was descending the Gijjha peak, I saw a skeleton moving in space and it was followed and attacked by vultures, crows, and hawks, and they pull a rib from it and divide it among them, and the skeleton gives a cry of distress.
Friend, then it occurred to me: `Indeed it is wonderful and surprising to see a being, a non-human, a gain of self like this.û'
Then the Blessed One addressed the monks: ßMonks, the disciple should live wisely with aroused knowledge, when he knows, sees or witnesses such a thing.
Monks, in the past I saw this being, yet I did not tell it to anyone. If I had told, others would not believe me and it would be for their ill being and unpleasantness for a long time.
Monks, this person was a slaughterer of cattle in this same Rajagaha. As a result of that action he suffered in hell for many years, for many hundreds of years, for many thousands of years, for many hundred thousands of years. And as a result of that action suffers, having gained that self.û

Many peoples say that it's OK to buy meat etc cause there is no itention to kill, there is no incitement to kill. But isn't money the incitement to kill?
I think that is not OK to put taste pleasure forward a life of one being. I hope you will never suffer like they suffer.

For a seller, I guess it needs to be a drug to get a good amount of demand. I am not sure if we need to speak of a need in case of meat.
But that works for vegi-burger as well.
