Well, this is an example of contradicting Paolini ideologies. Paolini has the elves being his perfect race and holding up his ideals -the vegetarianism and the atheism - however he also wants them to be the awesome fighters, not seeing how a society that upholds the idea that eating creatures is causing undo suffering, but has no problems with fighting is a contradiction in nature, as it's how he wants it.
It wouldn't be impossible to have such contradictions. As long as he realized they were there and tried explaining them, which he doesn't do. ;P
