Any advantage being a vegetarian?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 94/100. mjanakha (327) 2 years ago

To me there is no difference between vegetarian and non vegetarian. But in India there is a group of people(Brahmins) who are to be vegetarians only. Not only that during some holy days many people avoid taking non-veg food. Not only hindus christians also have this pratice before good friday. Whats the need of omiting non-veg food? Is there any special thing about being a vegetarian?

I'm not sure if its true but I hear they don't smell as bad when they sweat as people who eat lots of meats. They probably don't need to bathe as much or use as much perfumes and therefore save money. Most of them are into this habit because of how they feel about animals so I suppose to them that some animals can live for another day is a benefit to them.


myLot reputation of 94/100. mjanakha (327)  2 years ago

Sweating and food related!!!!!!!!!!! Then all the deodrant and perfume companies recommend men to be non-veg????????


myLot reputation of 86/100. cupkitties (1587)  2 years ago

I wouldn't doubt it. I've seen so called medical people who post articles with lies about natural home remedies because they're scared of people not paying for their overly expensive toxic medications anymore so I wouldn't put it past others to recommend not doing something just because they lose money.

Hiii there

These brahmins people were the people who's duties were associated with gods.They used to whims veda's in marriages and on religious festivals.In hinduism eating animal is consider as violence.It isnt strict about vegetarianism but it doe encourage it.Thats the reason people are not suppose to eat non veg on religious days.They are expected to be less violent towards nature and mother earth at list few days in a year.
Not just religious festivals but also there s this month where its generally breeding seasons of birds and animals.We are suppose to eat non veg and on those days as well.As if we eat grown up birds their children starve and die and thus it create double damage to nature.

If non-vegetarians cause damage to why not any protest against them? There must be some other reason yaar..............

Maybe there cause there are already a lot of people who are deciding to become vegetarian. I think being a vegetarian is good cause there are a lot benefits and makes you healthier. There are so many diseases caused by eating meat but I havent heard of any disease cause by eating lots of vegetables.


myLot reputation of 94/100. mjanakha (327)  2 years ago

There might be some more reasons dear.........

Scientifically its proven that being a vegetarian will increase the life span. So if anyone wish to live a healthy long life can switch their food habits from non vegetarian to vegetarian. All vegetables and fruits has the natural nutritions which help in the metabolism and digestion.so eat healthy and live long.


myLot reputation of 94/100. mjanakha (327)  2 years ago

Vegetables and fruits are rich in nutrients. I accept.But do you think all non vegetarians are having greater life span. Sure????????

Ya its true, during holiday most avoid non-veg there is scientific reason for it
Generally these holidays will come on Nov-Dec which is unhealthy season for animals, so taking non-veg at those time will effect your health.

Avoiding Non-veg rule came into existence with the above backdrop :) ,You can confirm the same with traditional doctors

Happy mylotting :)

In different countries holidays comes in different months. so i dont think holidays have any relationship with this

i dont see any advantage, as long as you dont abuse of fried food a normal meal is enought for everyone. in fact i see a bit disadvantages all my vegetarian friends end up been pretty fragile physically to the weather or normal illness. i think that consume at least a bit of meat from time to time is always good.


myLot reputation of 94/100. mjanakha (327)  2 years ago

Great to hear in favour of non-vegetarians............

I think there is a huge advantage to being vegeterian- in the US at least. A vast majority of the meat produced here is factory farmed and just laced with anti-biotics and unnatural additives. I believe that is a huge contributor to people's health, and not eating that factory farmed meat is beneficial.


myLot reputation of 94/100. mjanakha (327)  2 years ago

Hi olisaur

You have mentioned the disadvantages of canned foods, factory meals. But it doesnt have anything to do with a dispute between veg and non veg.


myLot reputation of 70/100. maikeruk (333)  2 years ago

is worst with the transgenic vegetables plus all the chemical stuffs used to grow vegetables... well in europe there is a tendency of "bio" products that are natural grow that also apply to the meat. I dont know how is that in america.
