Guest guest Posted October 21, 2002 Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 Well, you can go to all levels of neuroticism on this account. How about not eating ANY vegetarian food except that cooked by a devotee? Watch how fast that narrows down your options, and also watch the rationalizations start to fly. That's what the Hare Krishna's preached but I found they had a thousand exceptions to the rule. The Sai Baba quote you mentioned follows the same logic, but this guy has molested more men and boys than we can even count, so his concerns about moral purity are suspect to say the least. <A HREF="http://lists.tamil.com/lists/politics/2000-11/msg00015.html">The Findings - Sai Baba</A> I live near a fanatical vegetarian restaurant (practically vegan) but almost never eat there because the food is terrible and I can't even get plain yogurt-- an essential for my digestive system. So I eat at the omnivorous Napalese restaurant instead where I know that they don't mix meat sauces in the simple Indian-style stir friy and dhal but other than that I don't know how precisely "kosher" they are. =-- a happy, hippie, liberal, gay, and relaxed veggie of 26 years, Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 21, 2002 Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 Some Hindu gurus say not to eat anywhere that meat is served. If we obey this we are protected from .. Chinese restaurants in which vegetarian dishes are cooked in beef stock and labeled vegetarian.. literally a sauce of blood .. Mexican restaurants in which burritos are called vegetarian though cooked in lard .. the salmonella and worms and other problems associated with a cutting board which is used for both meat and vegetables .. when we avoid meat restaurants we remove capital from the butcher networks.. it is better to bring our own food or to eat only at vegetarian restaurants Sai Baba says the vibrations of the cook enter the food ... and that even sages can be affected by the anger of a cook entering the food. http://www.acorn.net/fruitarian http://www.vegdining.com http://www.ivu.org http://www.vrg.org http://www.hindu.org http://www.jesusveg.com http://groups.msn.com/catholicveg http://www.jewishveg.com http://www.islamveg.com http://www.plumvillage.org http://www.vegweb.com/food http://www.mad-cow.org 7700 articles (Connie Chung has reported Mad Cow in the US) http://www.maddeer.org http:///groups.msn.com/madfish9 http://www.pisces.co.uk http://www.pcrm.org http://www.mcspotlight.org http://www.mccruelty.com http://www.hsus.org http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org http://www.eaisai.com/baba http://www.sathyasai.org Connie Chung said in October of 2002 on a US network news show that Mad Cow is in the US. She showed film of cows stumbling as their back legs did not support them, as well as film of a Florida woman diagnosed with the disease and her family. The woman, in the final stages of the disease, was biting her family members. However, the show erred in several respects. 1. This Florida case is not the first case of Mad Cow in the US, but one of thousands or tens of thousands repressed by the Centers For Disease Control. CDC is the agency which supplied anthrax to Iraq in the hopes that it would be used against Iran. CDC is the agency which promotes toxic price gouging animal abusing pharmaceuticals. CDC is the agency which has attempted to protect the multi trillion dollar animal slaughter and meat industry by lying about Mad Cow to the American people. Health departments in many states have been negligent or have criminally suppressed evidence of Mad Cow. 2. The show attempted to blame the UK for Mad Cow in the US while the US meat industry has many spongiform encephalopathy engendering practices such as using roadkill, pound slaughtered, and slaughterhouse trash in animals' food. 3. Howard Lyman's lawsuit by Amarillo cattlemen was thrown out by the 5th Circuit which held that he cannot be guilty of libel when he told the truth about Mad Cow in the US. http://www.madcowboy.com 4. Mad Fish in the US comes from the practice of factory farming fish. Bone meal from other animals is often fed to the fish. 5. Mad Elk and Mad Deer came originally from the factory farming of deer in Saskatchewan, Alberta and many US states. http://www.maddeer.org 6. Republican governors such as Pataki, Taft, Perry and Keating have increased the practice of canned hunts in which animals huddle at the side of fenced in enclosures in which they are trapped.. for trophy seeking hunters. Many of the animals for these hunts come from factory farms. In the US deaths from Mad Cow are diagnosed as meningitis, West Nile, encephalitis, brain tumor, leukemia, food poisoning, dementia. In the case of the Florida woman featured on the show, the physician had prescribed an antidepressant for her, perhaps through negligence or ignorance. The government of Canada finally admitted this year to Mad Cow. Jeb Bush has received the support of the Florida beef industry as his brother received the support of the Amarillo feedlot, Texas beef, and US beef industry. http://www.democrats.org http://www.mad-cow.org 7700 articles on Mad Cow in US http://www.madcowboy.com http://www.pcrm.org http://www.peta.net/feat/military http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org http://www.mccruelty.com http://www.mcspotlight.org http://groups.msn.com/boycott /messages/bloodsweatandtears http://www.hsus.org http://www.wfad.org http://www.meatout.com *** One of Mad Cow's causes is the feeding of parts of some animals to others. Just as cannibals who eat human brains contract kuru, a brain disease, other spongiform encephalopathies occur in different species. Cervine spongiform encephalopathy is Mad Deer Disease. http://www.maddeer.org Piscean spongiform encephalopathy is Mad Fish Disease. http://groups.msn.com/madeer9 Mad Pig Disease, Mad Elk Disease, Mad Sheep Disease, Mad Chicken Disease, Mad Turkey Disease are simply different variants of the same disease.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2002 Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 1. Orthodox folk would avoid eating in meat-serving establishments, just like orthodox muslims and jews won't eat food that has even come in contact with the prohibited foods. 2. Amma in one of the Awaken Children books says the same thing that you said SSB said. 3. The claims of sexual abuse by SSB are a bit dubious to say the least, but this isn't a board for debating it. 4. Vegan food is terrible. Better to eat the bark off a tree or a handful of lawn grass than that stuff.
