Dear Friend,

 

I am Atanu Dey from North Eastern part of India. I am a vegetarian for last

ten years and an ethical vegan for two years last. I belong to a place, where

per capita income is not very high and where non-vegetarian food is perceived as

balanced diet considering the socio-economic structure of the area. I had

undertaken a silent experiment on myself about how to maintain nutrient

supplement and sufficient calorie for a normal working person with vegetarian or

vegan diet while maintaining the cost of ones daily food at lower end. It was

essential to maintain the cost of the diet at low because here the per capita

income is not very good and it is believed, the cost of vegetarian diet to be

more compared to cheaper source of non-vegetarian food. It was hard to propagate

the ideology and philosophy of love for animals and ethical veganism to others

though the result of my experiment on my own was apparently very good as I

maintained a very healthy body with cheaper and easily

available vegan food.

 

But, very recently in the Month of April '05, I developed acute hepatitis

and it almost spoiled the liver. I was detected a shrunk lever which, I was told

was very rare contrary to expansion of liver. The Doctors straightly blamed it

on my long followed food habit and it took no time to spread among all my known

ones. I had to be rushed to a bigger hospital and needed intensive and expensive

treatment for long days to recuperate partially.

 

Now, at this point of time, I find myself standing on the ruins of all I

had and all I tried to make bit by bit. I find my health lost and organ (liver)

damaged to an extent, I find all my savings finished to end in treatment and

most of all, I find my philosophy of sympathy for animals and ethical treatment

for them suffering a humiliating setback to all my known and even unknowns in my

place.

 

Friend, here, I express my regret and my embarrassment to engage you in a

problem which essentially is very personal to me but just as we are in the

fraternity and share a great common ethic and ideology, it drives me to ask for

a response from you to help me regain my courage to re-engage myself for the

great cause of sympathy and care for animals.

 

With care and thanks,
