Is meat eating Genetically necessary for some?

November 2, 2005

Hello VA listers,

Many Hindus are vegetarian. Many white people like me who have taken up

Hinduism at some time in their life became vegetarian. In America, most

vegetarians are “alternative” people...not mainstream people...and

they often dress and look different, and often have less money, work less, etc.

I’m wondering if they are weaker due to lack of protein? I know this is

an old question, but recently I started consuming more vegetarian protein, and

I’m feeling better. So much so that I’m working again, which is a

real breakthrough. Actually, the one I’m using, the protein food

product, probably has some animal derived stuff in it, so it’s a bit

against the ahimsa rules.

Which brings me to my point- are some of us genetically predisposed to need

animal protein because all our ancestors ate it? Some Indian’s families

have been vegetarian for many generations. Mine have NEVER been vegetarian.

In fact, most “normal” white people eat meat 3 times a day.

I’ve noticed that many of my ex Hare Krishna brothers and sisters went

back to eggs, or even meat.

Many people have said they felt terrible until they started up again. Perhaps

for awhile you can get by fine, but eventually, your body becomes depleted.

I wonder what’s up with this point, and where it will end, what’s

the meaning, what’s the path...can the world be vegetarian, or is that

“someday” way far away...or not possible? Any opinions?

Thanks
