Guest guest Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 This reporter has a "nose" for news! [bihar Times - opinion]Maneka Gandhi...(Bihar Times) I will not sit at a table with dead bodies or peopleeating them. By now this is so well known that internal airlines nevereven ask what meal preference I have and no stranger sitting next tome orders meat . I cannot bear the smell or the look of the meat. Icannot bear the smell of the person who eats it. I am not the only onewho believes that vegetarians and non vegetarians have a differentsmell. The smell of meat oozes through the pores and becomes a richrancid sweat which fouls the air around it as soon as the temperaturerises. I suppose people who do not eat garlic and onions feel the sameway about the odour of people who do.Do vegetarians really smell better ? News from the world ofscience.Anthropologists in the Department of Anthropology, Faculty ofHumanities, Charles University, Czech Republic. Czech Republic decidedin 2006 to study the effects of diet on body odour " attractiveness".More specifically, they wanted to find out if women prefer the bodyodour of men fed a vegetarian or a non-vegetarian diet. The result ?The researchers J Havlicek and P Lenochova found that women judged thebody odour of men fed a vegetarian diet to be "significantly moreattractive, more pleasant, and less intense"....After all – if you eat something that you cannot eat raw because itstinks , what do you expect the outcome to be ? While an apple of peasor grain can be directly taken off the plant and eaten , can you wringa chicken's neck and then bite into it ? If you could then why doesmeat take so long to cook and so many spices and herbs to hide thetaste ? Even the thickest skinned vegetables be eating after simplysteaming with no seasoning – can you do the same with meat ?...Moving on to a simple vegetarian vs. non-vegetarian example, heat upyour oven to 98.6 degrees and place a tomato and piece of meat on it.Check back in a few hours to compare the rate of decay and theresulting smells. If it smells horrible in the open do you think itwill smell less horrible inside your body . After all meat and blooddecays very fast wherever it is....if you're one of those that is still thinking about whether to govegetarian ... Do it because you will smell better. Do it becauseknowing that will boost your confidence and self-esteem. Do it forsomeone you love.To join the animal welfare movement contact gandhim-- full story:http://bihartimes.com/newsbihar/2008/July/newsbihar08July5..html Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight - Albert Schweitzer Meat.org http://www.myspace.com/fortheanimals7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
