I don’t think any bad consequences to vegetarians in this high protein world.
Eating your veggies is good for your heart, good for the environment, and, of course, good for animals. Some people go vegetarian after looking an animal in the eye and realizing that there's a "who," not a "what," looking back. Some pitch out animal products to ditch unwanted pounds or because they want to tread more lightly on the Earth.
Re: Vegetarianism in Hinduism

Re: Vegetarianism in Hinduism
In this age of automation and computerized jobs, you hardly see any sweat in air-condition atmosphere and you keep all your calories in your butt. If my suggestion sound shallow to you check this…
Vegetarianism is becoming more and more popular in North America, Europe, and Israel as individuals from all walks of life adopt plant-based diets out of concern for animals, the environment, and their health. A Time poll reports that 10 million Americans consider themselves practicing vegetarians, and according to the National Restaurant Association, as many as 20 percent of American college students identify themselves as vegetarians. Overseas a recent British study indicated that 2,000 Britons go vegetarian every week.
Grow up and change with time ……..
Re: Vegetarianism in Hinduism
If i go for college registration i would also do so, because i dont eat pork and other Haram; like frogs, cats and elephents.
a big majority of people from that 20% are Muslims.
check the listing of international air tickets; mostly vegetarians list are either hindus or muslims.
The factor is not only vegetarianism – religion is also a factor.
those who dont practice.. you can also find. i know many hindus who even now eating cows, eggs, and even pork.
Re: Vegetarianism in Hinduism
inuit man, those hindus who eat meat arent non-practicing ones. meat is not forbidden to the majority of hindus.
also bacteria doesnt make it to the realms of animals or plants. several of them are photosynthetic and have chlorophyll, while several dont. your spirulina is nothing but a cyanobacterium.
Re: Vegetarianism in Hinduism
Look Mr.
I am not going to argue about facts, if you can digest hard food, that’s your stomach enjoy dead animals.
Good luck.

Humanitarian Concerns
Every day, 840 million people around the world, including 200 million children, go hungry. But much of the world’s grain harvest—40 percent—is used to feed livestock, not people.U.S. livestock alone consume about one-third of the world’s total grain harvest, as well as more than 70 percent of the grain grown in the United States.
Raising animals for food is much less efficient than growing vegetables, grain, or beans. For example, a cow grazing on one acre of land produces enough meat to sustain a person two and a half months; soybeans grown on that same acre would nourish a person for seven years. The beef in just one Big Mac represents enough wheat to make five loaves of bread.
Many researchers believe that vegetarianism is the only way to feed a growing human population. A Population Reference Bureau report stated, “If everyone adopted a vegetarian diet and no food were wasted, current [food] production would theoretically feed 10 billion people, more than the projected population for the year 2050.”
Re: Vegetarianism in Hinduism
no no.. please dont mind. whenever you visit my home, i will not make any meat item, i understand the feelings.
