Vegetarianism

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone!

 

I saw the message copied below from another member of

this group. I have joined this group just a few days

ago and this is my first posting to this group's

discussion forum. So, unwittingly, if I have violated

any of the rules, pl. forgive me. I am responding

since this topic is interesting.

 

Vegetarianism has come to acquire many connotations,

the most appealing among them to Hindus in general

being non-violence. Strictly speaking, no living being

can sustain its life, without eating another living

being. Only the degree of violence is different.

 

In the case of vegetarians in India, that seems to be

the guiding principle and not the purely medical

reasons. It is heartening to note that for the modern

sedentary lives, vergetarian food (without the milk

and milk products that are usually considered

acceptable), provides maximum protection against

coronary problems and gastrointestinal cancer.

 

I would like others to throw more light on this

subject.

 

Thanks.

vegetarianism??

 

 

 

 

 

hi

sometimes i tell my friends who eat non-vegetarian

food to try and

resist eating them since they are killing an innocent

life. but they

try to argue with me that being a vegetarian doesnt

change the

picture. because being a vegetarian means killing

plants. so does it

really matter if we kill plants or animals ? where is

it mentioned

that animals should not be eaten ? are we justified in

telling others

to resist themselves from eating non- veg food since

we are killing

plants ?? the only diff i have found is that animals

show resistance

when they are to be killed where as plants dont. i

know this is not a

very appropraite question for this particular group.

but i am

optimistic that i will get good response.

thank u in advance

sandeep
