THE MYTHS OF VEGETARIANISM Stephen Byrnes, PhD Originally published in the July 2000. Revised January 2002 “An unflinching determination to take the whole evidence into account is the only method of preservation against the fluctuating extremes of fashionable opinion.” Alfred North Whitehead Bill and Tanya sat before me in my office in a somber mood: they had just lost their first baby in the second month of pregnancy. Tanya was particularly upset. "Why did this happen to me? Why did I miscarry my baby?" The young couple had come to see me mostly because of Tanya's recurrent respiratory infections, but also wanted some advice as to how they could avoid the heartache of another failed pregnancy. Upon questioning Tanya about her diet, I quickly saw the cause of her infections, as well as her miscarriage: she had virtually no fat in her diet and was also mostly a vegetarian. Because of the plentiful media rhetoric about the supposed dangers of animal product consumption, as opposed to the alleged health benefits of the vegetarian lifestyle, Tanya had deliberately removed such things as cream, butter, meats and fish from her diet. Although she liked liver, she avoided it due to worries over "toxins."

Direct link: amazon.co.uk How long shall we weary heaven with petitions for superfluous luxuries, as though we had not at hand wherewithal to feed ourselves? How long shall we fill our plains with huge cities? How long shall the people slave for us unnecessarily? How long shall countless numbers of ships from every sea bring us provisions for the consumption of a single mouth? An ox is satisfied with the pasture of an acre or two; one wood suffices for several elephants. Man alone supports himself by the pillage of the whole earth and sea. What! Has Nature indeed given us so insatiable a stomach, while she has given us such insignificant bodies? No, it is not the hunger of our stomachs, but insatiable covetousness which costs so much - Epistola, 1x

Vegeterianism in India - Indian recipes vegetarian Vegetarianism, History of Vegetarianism in India, benefits of Vegetarianism, Health benefits of vegetarianism Indian recipes , Indian cuisine dishes, Indian food Vegetarian, the belief in and practice of eating exclusively vegetable foods and abstaining from any form of animal food. Food plays a major role and forms the essence in the practice of Religion in India. During the ancient Aryan Vedic period meat was consumed after animal sacrifice to the Gods. This slowly changed with the rise of Jainism and Buddhisim, since their founders advocated the principle of ahimsa or ''non-violence''. The Brahman priests, who used to exploit the people and advocated animal sacrifices as offerings in the name of religion, also began to preach Vegeterianism since it gained much popularity in India. They began to embrace Vegeterianism by following a vegetarian diet themselves. However due to this constant exploitation of the people, these Brahmin priests soon began losing their status and respect in the society, which once placed them in the highest strata. By 1908 vegetarianism had becom e an organized global movement gaining popularity when the International Vegetarian Union was founded in Germany.

Tanya and Bill left with a bottle of vitamin A, other supplements and a dietary prescription that included plentiful amounts of animal fats and meat. Just before leaving my office, Tanya looked at me and said ruefully: "I just don't know what to believe sometimes. Everywhere I look there is all this low-fat, vegetarian stuff recommended. I followed it, and look what happened." I assured her that if she and her husband changed their diets and allowed sufficient time for her weakened uterus to heal, they would be happy parents in due time. In November 2000, Bill and Tanya happily gave birth to their first child, a girl.

Instead, this is an objective answer to those who want to know the advantages of vegetarianism. A vegetarian is one who eats no animal products. Some people call themselves vegetarians but still eat fish and chicken; be assured those two species still belong to the animal kingdom—they have flesh and blood just like a cow or a human or a deer.

29. Vegetarianism Why vegetarianism? vegetarianism, known in Sanskrit as Shakahara, was for thousands of years a principle of health and environmental ethics throughout India. http://www.karamsad.com/vegetarianism.htm

Why Vegetarianism? Vegetarianism, known in Sanskrit as Shakahara, was for thousands of years a principle of health and environmental ethics throughout India. Though Muslim and Christian colonization radically undermined and eroded this ideal, it remains to this day a cardinal ethic of Hindu thought and practices. A subtle sense of guilt persists among Hindus who eat meat. Hinduism is the only religion which preaches vegetarianism, as a way to live with a minimum of hurt to other beings, for to consume meat, fish, fowl or eggs is to participate indirectly in acts of cruelty and violence against the animal kingdom. The meat-eater's desire for meat drives another to kill and provide that meat. The act of the butcher begins with the desire of the consumer. Meat eating contributes to a mentality of violence. India's greatest saints have confirmed that one cannot eat meat and live a peaceful, harmonious life. Man's appetite for meat inflicts devastating harm on the earth itself, stripping its precious forests to make way for pastures. How can one who eats meat practice true compassion by eating the flesh of an animal to fatten his own flesh? A vegetarian diet does not include meat, fish or eggs. For good health, even certain vegetarian foods are minimized: frozen and canned foods, highly processed foods, such as white rice, white sugar and white flour; and "junk" foods and beverages-those with abundant chemical additives, such as artificial sweeteners, colorings, flavorings and preservatives.

32. Beyond Vegetarianism Taking vegetarianism to its logical conclusion, from a transhumanist point of view http://www.aleph.se/Trans/Cultural/Philosophy/vegetarian.html

Beyond vegetarianism by Anders Sandberg A vegetarian approached me one day while I was eating, asking me (no doubt with the intention to sow guilt and preach a bit) "How can you eat *carrion*?". Unfortunately for him, I responded by happily explaining that it is quite natural for humans to eat carrion; after all, our evolutionary past suggests that we were opportunistic omnivores, eating meat whenever we could get it. Our teeth seem to be well adapted to chewing meat made tender by a slight rot, something we later replaced with cooking. In fact, being purely vegetarian is unnatural. There are to my knowledge no indigenous people living only of vegetables (something that is very hard to do without advanced nutrition and availability of a wide variety of vegetables around the year). Being adaptive we can become vegetarian (or purely carnivorous) if we choose today, but it is an individual choice made based on our own values and not on any biological support. Vegetarianism can be seen as a kind of self-expression, a decision to overcome our biological heritage as omnivores for a herbivorous diet more in accordance to our ethics or aesthetic. This transhumanist way of seeing vegetarianism is of course not very accepted by most vegetarians, of which an eloquent subset regard un- or non- natural things as bad. To get rid of the cognitive dissonance they attempt to show that humans really are herbivores, and that the meat-eating establishment is wrong. It is too bad they lack the courage to see vegetarianism as what it is: a deliberate change in our biology, based on culture not nature.

34. Vegetarianism, Environmentalism, Animal Rights An essay by Dr.Steven Best about Gandhi and his path of vegetarianism. http://utminers.utep.edu/best/papers/vegenvani/gandhi.htm

Vegetarianism, Environmentalism, Animal Rights Gandhi: On The Path To Vegetarianism "Generations to come will scare believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth." - Albert Einstein Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) is best known for his heroic struggles against British imperialism in India, which led to (a very troubled) Indian independence in 1947. Because he was trying to change the world through spiritual means, Gandhi's political and spiritual vision were inseparably melded. "People describe me as a saint trying to be a politician, but the truth is the other way around." Gandhi described his goal as first helping his people prepare for freedom, and then helping them to attain it, seeking to free his people not only from the British, but also from modern and Western influences in general. Gandhi drew sharp contrasts between ancient Indian religions, based on the philosophy of ahimsa (the absence of desire to do harm), and Western culture, which he saw to be rooted in pathological violence. Stimulated by Hindu philosophy and Thoreau's "Essay on Civil Disobedience," and in turn extremely influential on Martin Luther King and countless other activists, Gandhi achieved dramatic results through nonviolent civil disobedience. Gandhi's name for this process was satyagraha, or, literally, "soul force," the power of love and understanding against hatred and ignorance. Satyagraha is not a weapon of the weak, he taught, for it requires moral and physical strength, discipline, and intense spiritual training to maintain a nonviolent attitude in the face of force and hostility. For Gandhi, it takes far more courage to absorb a blow than to deliver one, to die than to kill. Counter-violence contributes to the deterioration of the human spirit; only non-violence heals and restores.
