Krishna tell us in the Gita to Arjuna (as stated in other discussions I
have written the reference).
Offer me with love and devotion a flower, grains, fruits, water and I shall
accept them.
Most "normal" people will tell you what they would like to eat and not a
huge list of what they don't want to eat. Further Krishna says in Chapter 3
verse 13 :
The devotees of the Lord are released from all kinds of sins because they
eat food which is offered first for sacrifice. Others, who prepare food for
personal sense enjoyment, verily eat sin only.
So meat, fish etc... are not acceptable and 3.13 tells you that you are
eating sin.

I have spent my life reading the past times of the Lord and you are very
wrong as the Kshatriya's do not kill unless they have to protect the
population from harm. Please explain yourself !

Wrong you must have missed the references that were quoted in this NG,
regarding the vedas that forbid meat eating also the references see the
following homepage for an extensive number of quotes :
http://envirolink.org/arrs/essays/virtues.htlm#ix
Then put the above reference as a bookmarker to remind yourself. So you
want people to follow other peoples bad examples like sheep to the
slaughter !!!! Sounds very intelligent .....
>So I say eat cows and be prosperous.

You obviously know about the sad story of Australia where for this reason
we have salation of our soils and soil degredation. You certainly are aware
of the problems in South America due to the beef industry.
Prosper for how long ?

No. It is for all beings irrespect of what body type they have, where they
live, time, space etc. See my reference before you speculate any further.
