human body designed to be a vegetarian.....

[Guest guest]

There are scientific reasons why a human body is designed to be a

vegetarian.

let us start with the mouth.

We do not have canine teeth like the tiger or lion or a dog. We cannot just

jump on an animal and tear it apart either with our paws or our teeth. Most

of these animals sweat with their tongues, and do not have pores on the

skin. We do not. They also have small salivary glands in the mounth, not

needed to pre-digest grains and fruits, which we have and share with other

vegetarian animals.

Our saliva is alkaline while non-veg animals saliva is acidic. The

meat-eating animals do not have the flat back molar teeth to grind food, and

have much stronger acid in the stomach to digest tough animal muscle etc.

Intestinal tract of a non-veg animal is only 3 times the body size, while

ours is 6 times long.

This information with many other reasons cited is available in the chapter

Vegetarianism: A means to Higher end Page 19 to 35 of a book by

Bhaktivedanta Book Trust, Los Angeles, The Book of Vegetarian Cooking.

Beth's introduction

Hi, my name is Beth. I've been a vegan for about a year and 1/2, and

vegetarian for the most part of 13 years. My friend Trin told me about this

group (thanks Trin! I have two sons ages 2 1/2 and 4, and have a

wonderful husband over over 10 years. My wonderful husband however, is a

meat eater. He has gotten to where he wants to buy local, organic instead

of the cheap stuff (whee.) - but despite years of the information that I

continue to give to him about animal cruelty, the environment, health and

now mad cow - it has not dulled his passion for meat. It's getting really,

really hard for me to live with. My oldest son was a vegan, but the last 8

months or so, my husband has been encouraging his meat eating even though my

son doesn't really even like it. I want to give him more information about

animal cruelty without emotionally devastating him at such a young age. Any

suggestions (for hubby or sons!) would be greatly appreciated! <smile>

 

take care

Beth

Yes, I am familiar with these reasons. It *would* be a good approach to

explaining the physiological reasons to my sons as they get old enough to

understand.

Thanks for your reply

Hello Everyone,

Where can I get a copy of this article? I need it for my hard headed family

member who thinks meat is the only way to go.

Thanks
