Meat and alcohol
by Ajai Jacob on Nov 02, 2010 02:04 PM

Meat is not the natural food of man.One can understand this fact by studying human physiology.
Meat and alcohol are used by people for pleasure and nothing else.There is very little benefit in eating meat.Alcohol also has a little benefit(reduces cholesterol).Meat is meant for carnivorous animals like lion and tiger.

Non-veg and alcohol
by Ajai Jacob on Nov 02, 2010 01:29 PM

Non-veg and alcohol is best.Alcohol makes you more strong,more virile,tougher and more alert.
Non-veg without drink is like rice without curry or roti without subji.
Most of the people in developed countries consume Non-veg with alcohol.Hence if India is to become a developed country,Indians should consume Non-veg with alcohol!(not in liberal doses!).

fruit is best
by kieran dsouza on Nov 02, 2010 01:15 PM  | Hide replies

If you have only small space in your backyard, u cannot keep cows nor can u plant rice or wheat. But u can plant coconut tree or other fruit tree in smallest space which will give the best yield of food with least input compared to the other mentioned choices.

Fruit is the most energy giving, most eco friendly, least energy intensive, having carbon positive footprint.

Fruit is the symbiotic and physiological food of man so there is no need to cook it. all meats and grains are inferior compared to fruit

If you smoke heavily or chew pan or drink hot tea daily you're asking for it. Being Veg cuts risk, not reduce is to 0.

don't agree with the article

Though I'm a veg, both my grandfathers, staunch veggies died of cancer. My father died of stroke.

Veg is better, because less no. of ppl will die of hunger, if more no. of ppl were vegetarians. And let's admit...it's more humane!

Yes, there is. If you do not agree with the "humane" part, atleast agree with the fact that if more ppl were vegetarians, lesser no. of people will go hungry in this planet!

Prove it.
I say again, There is no moral superiority or humane in vegetarianism. Even hitler was a vegetarian.

The world is not agriculturally fertile enough to produce human consumption worth food. So, food produced in these lands can be fed to animals.
India is conservatively at least 50% vegetarian. And 80% of children are malnourished in India. To hell with vegetarianism.

I can't prove the "humanity" part...it's something you have to feel. Every animal struggles before it is slaughtered and after it is slaughtered for a few secs. Most plants DIE naturally after the "fruit" is produced...and a plant doesn't run away or shows any reaction that it's hurt when you pluck a fruit...can you say the same if you pluck a limb of an animal? Plants and animals are 2 different species - flora and fauna.

And as for the fact the vegetarianism can feed more people...it's a known scientific, proven fact!
It takes almost 7kg of grains to produce 1/2 kg of edible meat. The rest is wasted to keep the chicken/lamb alive - its beating heart, production of blood, conversion to feces and keep it breathing.

How many families can 7 kg of grains feed and how many families can 1/2 kg of meat feed?
Vegetarianism is more sustainable for this planet....it would consume less water, arable land too!
As for India's percentage being vegetarian....you must know that India is actually self-sustaining food producer, but unfortunately, the food either rots in barns or is sold abroad by corrupt politicians. Drought and Flood does a lot of damage and our illiterate farmers do not have enough techniques and knowledge to prevent it.

There is no scientifically proven fact as you claim.
The grain that feeds the animal no human can consume.

I am at a loss to know why vegetarians cannot be content simply to say it, without taking the argument over a cliff.
