My friend asked me last week: “Why are you a vegetarian? Religious reasons or personal belief?”
I was stumped for a second and then say, “We’re all born veggies, blindly told to believe that we aren’t supposed to eat non-veg, it’s only later, that we make the decision to voluntarily withdraw from eating N.V. So it’s personal now and religious then.”
Profound idiocy?
Faith can be a farce, at times. False. The way of life, am supposed to be following, gives profound reasons as to how by eating meat, one becomes cruel, one becomes unholy, non-compassionate, and the league. Crap.
Early Aryans being the hypocrites here; them, who advocated animal sacrifice, suddenly preach vegetarianism. And the later ones, us, who follow it mostly blindly.
Thiruvalluvar’s Thirukural too, has a stack of inane profundities related to anti-animal killing/eating. Except a predecessor to Microeconomics [or is it “Imperfect Competition”?], in this Kural:
“If the world did not purchase and consume meat, there would be none to slaughter and offer meat for sale.”
Isn’t it too much, for an idealistic situation?

Well, post was a “divert my mind” one, and hence the disjointedness.

claps.
she’s finally on WP eh?
the economic consequences of meat eaters are worse for the world at large.
for instance, the avg kilo of meat takes about 5 times as much ingredients, manpower and land to produce than the avg kilo of vegetarian food. With a lot of wastage to boot.
Most of the agrarian land is wasted, so to say, in producing meat. And less on producing non-meat products

Vallalar(a saint in 18th century) also told “Be a Vegetarian”.
Vallalar splits the people into two categories.
one is vegetarian people and they are all child of supreme god.
another non-vegetarian people and they are not child of supreme god.they will suffer if they didnt stopped the eating non vegetarian foods.

thiruvalluvar always against nonvegetarian foods
in his poet he strongly against the those foods.
“than oon perukkarkku thaan piruthoon unbaan
engyanam aazhum arul”
means
“To eat another creation for his bodily growth,
how will he ever get kindness in his heart ?”
