Guest guest Report post Posted February 10, 2004 Hare Krishna, I can describe the benefits of not eating meat: 1) economically, a vegetarian diet in the world would be able to feed 20bn people - hence ending world hunger. 2) healthwise, according to USA diet studies - 95% of heart disease can be avoided by a vegetarian diet. We get sufficient protein from a vege diet - in fact we receive 10 times as much protein as we need from a vege diet. A meat-eating diet provides 100 times as much protein that we need - and this extra protein weighs us down and makes us overweight. 3) spiritually, you suffer bad karma for every hair of an animal that dies - whilst eating vegetables is a fraction of that bad karma... 4) scientifically, humans have acid in their stomachs, and an intestinal length that is identical to herbivorous mammals...plus, we evolved from apes - herbivorous - hence we are actually naturally inclined to be vegetarians, not meat eaters 5) ethically, the adrenalin released by an animal when it is slaughtered is purposely kept in the meat because it creates a better taste - hence when u eat meat u are literally enjoying the fear of the animal just as it is slaughtered... Haribol, Nimesh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haribol 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2004 Haribol, With reference to your point in the post above 4) scientifically, humans have acid in their stomachs, and an intestinal length that is identical to herbivorous mammals...plus, we evolved from apes - herbivorous - hence we are actually naturally inclined to be vegetarians, not meat eaters Factually, according to the Vedic knowledge there is no evolution of species. All creatures and their forms etc. exist eternally but are manifested as required (by the Brahma of that universe). So all forms of species are manifest simultaneously. Or rather there is no evolution from one species to the other. Hare Krishna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeshua 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2004 Dear friends, The answer on what Krishna says about how to thread the earth is facilitated by mentioning that Mother Earth, Bhumi-devi or Gaia-devi, is one of the eternal wives of Lord Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu, known from the Caitanya lila, as Vishnupriya-devi. All living beings should be threatened as everyone wants to be threatened by others, in love, in frienship, in sincerity, in honesty, in servitude, in gratitude. In love, Frodo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
