Heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson revealed to audience members during a taping of Center Stage that he's gone vegan.
The Torah goes into great length as to what animals are clean and which animals are impure. At first glance this seems ridiculous; what does it mean pure and impure when concerning animals? The word Kosher is connected to Kesher/Bridge because only certain animals are able to cross over to the spiritual realm.
Animals, like people are more or less able to connect to the spiritual world, but all are necessary for the earth to function; together the world is body and soul–both are necessary. Vegan is the most spiritual of all diets. Why would a man known for bitting the ear off another man go vegan?
It is explained in the Cabala that to the degree a person has deviated from the true path they must go to the other extreme in order to arrive at the middle. A rebbe once said, it is impossible to judge another man because life is long and the process of becoming only is revealed in the end.
The Torah in describing punishments for different crimes rewards violence over deception. A person who is tough and has a tough life is more likely to act out in violence, but deception is premeditated.
