I merely wish to point out that blood has been a powerful life form in the human diet. Indeed some people are convinced that blood and meat are the ultimate cause of war. And whether one chooses to accept this dogma or not, they certainly can tell you that virtually every warrior proclaims meat a necessity to facilitate strength and aggression. Unfortunately, the vast upheavels and peaceful plateaus of our societies have nearly all of their romantic ideal, their sexualities and their concept of male dominant provider all wrapped up in a carnivorous diet. There is an inseparable relateionship between male strength derived from meat and man's wars, his economies, his cities and his great romantic loves and fathering of young warriors and virgins.
Blood is everywhere in our past.
Even the virgin is symbolic for her blood when sacrificed. Indeed there is blood derived strength everywhere. Blood is a strength giver, no doubt. But this strength is the ultimate moral paradox of the human conscience. For any person who would see death, experience war or know the emotional plight of our industrial prey, our cows, our pigs, our chickens, would feel caught in a tangle of conflicting thoughts.
