I am NOT a vegan! I think i read somewhere on the Jos that killing animals for food is okay. But lately i can't deny the attraction to veganism. My main problem is i don't really like the taste of veggies. When it comes to the meat I'm slowly losing interest, I'll admit it. I have also noticed (
ie had it shown to me possibly by the gods
) that even though meat is tasty it isn't good for us once it goes past the mouth... And lastly the persistent problem that comes with consciousness is seeing the animals as conscious beings and that is the biggest reason why this thing is following me. Anyway what are your thoughts on this subject?
Hail!
Thats a good point , i eat meat ( im a Hindu ) , it might be surprising for some people but out of 100% hindus , 40-50% of them eat meat , infact we also offer meat in our temples to the gods and even goddess Kali / Lilith.
since in india Hinduism has been divided into many sects ( not caste ) some eat meat , some dont eat meat , irrespective of the caste tbh .
Now before i dint use to eat meat , cause then i used to feel sad about eating an animal ( im becoming a Vet ) . I dont eat fish , cause i like fish as an animal so not eating that. i eat chicken only , i dont eat beef (cows) cause i actually like that animal.
So i have my own understanding about food , it depends on you like ( free will ) , you can eat what you want . I dont think the gods will be Upset about it. I dont eat chicken for taste , i eat it cause i get like 35 gms of protein ,and other nutrients , and its perfect.
i also eat vegetables , its good , it has nutrients as well ( not all the nutrients you need obv ) , i have eggs almost everyday , drink milk everyday. , cheese . All diff types of cheese .
people get so worked up about what to eat and what not to eat. now when we talk about vegan - its actually more bad for your health. id rather just eat 10 almonds than almond milk. So dont eat vegan its not good for your body , it dosent have the vitamins that is needed for your body to work/ regenerate your cells.
So eat a mix of veggies and Meat , and thats simple yk its good , its tasty. Will get your workout requirements too .
Hindus dont eat cow meat , but we have their dairy products everyday , ( everyone ). The actual reason for why we dont eat cows , is because we thought it would be more beneficial to Drink Milk , and eat its by product in larger quantity. And love the animal at the same time. In the olden days almost everyone had cows/Buffalos in their house , that was not only their source of income , but also the source of their food ( milk,cheese etc etc )
( in the ancient times warriors used to eat meat )
eating the cow would decrease the number of cows in the herd , so the more suitable option was to switch to dairy products.
Even Krishna ( avatar of Vishnu) used to eat a lot of makhan ( another dairy product out of milk ) ( pure butter from milk ) and also he was a herdsman so he loved his Cows.
Thats the actual reason why we dont eat Beef thats all
