I define compassion based on consideration for the other being. I dont care what office you have or what title or what robe or what funny name you have. If you do something un-compassionate, then you have done it.
So, just because he eats meat does not make it compassionate.

Oh yes, Aajonus Vonderplantz diet. Interesting. I'm doing Doug Graham's 80-10-10 diet: 80% simple sugar, 10% fat, 10% protein... you basically eat fruit and just a few tender greens (which have protein). His book on 80-10-10 talks about the things you would suspect such a diet to lack, such as Essential Fatty Acids.
