If you have ever had to grow something to eat, you might come to understand how fragile the process is, you need to resort to violence to defend what you are growing, either that or lose what you grow to the many unprincipled animals and bugs etc. that devour your food. You still can not escape the fact that life consumes life, and life requires violence in some form or other. You can take a cop out and preach that you abhor violence and vegetarianism is non violent- but that is only on the surface. Beneath the surface is violence.
Every step you take outside or even inside you kill. Just a difference in magnitude of scale.
By eating anything produced in our massive agribusiness models by which we provide our vegetables, breads, grains, etc. you contribute to the violence of the harvest, which slaughters plenty of field life, for example.
