Answer 2

That is a personal choice. I was a vegetarian for two years for moral reasons. I do believe that animals have souls, and some level of conscious awareness. Ultimately, I decided to go back to eating meat. I don't think I was as healthy when I was a vegetarian. I wasn't getting all the nutrition I needed. And while I acknowledge that the animals I am eating are fellow sentient beings, I also acknowledge that I myself am an animal and that I have a natural place in the food chain. Life feeds on life.

So, if you choose to become vegetarian for religious reasons, great. If not, just say a prayer for the spirit of your prey that they be incarnated into a better life. Choosing to eat organic and free range, or kosher meat can also help to reduce the suffering of the animal to some extent.

Answer 3

From the Bible it appears that vegetarianism was the order of the day until after the Flood, when God made a covenant with Noah saying all 'clean' animals could now be used for food - as long as they had their blood drained out of it before eating. The Mosaic covenant went into detail about what animals, birds and fish not to eat and, of course, the 'kosher' laws. But after Christ's death and resurrection, and Pentecost, Christians were given the green light to eat even the flesh of 'unclean' animals etc. This was via the vision given to Peter prior to him realising God was calling Christians to share the gospel with Gentiles. However, the rule about not eating blood remained.

An interesting aside - in the Old Testament, when Daniel and his 3 friends were taken captive to Babylon, they refused to eat the meats and wines from the king's table (because they would be violating Judaic kosher laws). They asked for, and were given a vegetables and water diet and were healthier and wiser than all the others (Daniel chapter 1). Only you can decide whether you should be vegetarian or not, and whether religious and/or health reasons are important.

Answer 4

I tried doing the vegetarian thing for a short period. Didn't work out for me. I think eating meat is healthier. Some argue that animals have souls, or that you might be eating animals sentience, and I say good. I've gotta eat just like the worms do. Something is going to eat that. Perhaps they get to live on in me. If so, good for them. I don't think I'm better than animals.

Answer 5

Any thing pertaining to eating habits or based on so many factors.Culture, Availability,Climatic conditions, health, and so many things.Eating any food is not bad. If you consider it as bad why any body should eat it. One mans food is another mans Poison. Coming back to your question The Islam is from the desert lands where there is no or limited vegetation.

If you want to be a Vegetarian or to become a Non Vegetarian is a Question you have to put to yourself. . Please note that Every living thing has a right to live.

Answer 6

Whether it veg or non-veg it is only food. It is left to the individual to eat whatever his religion and parental grooming allows. When your mind is conditioned for vegetarian food it is better to have vegeterain. If you are used to non-non-veg there is no harm in having it. If you are religious then follow what your religion prescribes. If you are atheist then follow your own ideology. If you are neither then follow your own self.

Answer 7

From a Vedic Perspective.

"He who permits the slaughter of an animal, he who cuts it up, he who kills it, he who buys or sells meat, he who cooks it, he who serves it up, and he who eats it, must all be considered as the slayers of the animal. There is no greater sinner than that man who seeks to increase the bulk of his own flesh by the flesh of other beings." ~ Manu Smriti.

“He who desires to augment his own flesh by eating the flesh of other creatures, lives in misery in whatever species he may take his [next] birth.” ~ Mahabharata.

It is absolutely against the rules of nature to be a non-vegetarian. Sadly, many Hindus believe today that except for beef, they can eat all kinds of meat and be happy about it.

The Soul transmigrates from one body to another. Hence, we were all once microbes, trees, animals, etc. Thus, by killing an animal, we are hampering its soul's progress. The animal's life, when cut short, is a grave sin, because the Supreme Lord Vishnu does not give authority to end lives of any living thing.

Intelligence is a unique commodity, which is present in Humans. Why? Because animals won't suffer from sins when they prey on other animals, since the soul in an animal body is entrapped in Samsara and Materialism, which cannot be realised by the animal. But the purpose of Human intelligence is to reason out that our souls need to reach Lord Vishnu, and to do that we should realise we are trapped in Samsara.

Killing Animals and eating them is a great sin. This is because of 2 reasons: 1) We destroy life by doing so, 2) We eat meat solely for its taste, so this is a Rajas (Passion) and Tamas (Ignorance) Quality. The Bhagavad Gita says one must be free from attachment. There are so many vegetarian foods, but if we choose meat for its taste, it means we are attached to the taste. This attachments entraps us in Samsara and we cannot develop Sattvik (Spiritual) quality.

Lord Krishna says in the Gita, 'Offer Me Leaf, Flower, Water, Rice and I shall accept it'. This implies that we are supposed to stay clear of non-vegetarian foods.

The Srimad Bhagavatam, written 2500 years before Lord Buddha, prophesised His coming. "In the Beginning of the Kali Yuga, the Lord Hari (Vishnu) will incarnate as Buddha, Son of Anjana, at Gaya, for the purpose of deluding the atheists".

Thus, Lord Buddha came because at that time, people were misinterpreting the Vedas and were becoming non-vegetarians. So, Lord Buddha made them all peaceful atheists and prevented them from killing and eating animals.

Answer 8

Some rituals are done based on reason based & some are not. This belongs to second category. My personal opinion - following this particular ritual is of no sense - Either we should be purely veg r completely non-veg.

Answer 9

There is no specific reference to what to eat or not in religions.All religions insist that eating for hunger is ok and not for to satisfy taste alone.Even sex is permitted for 'producing progeny" and not for pleasure.Vedic sholars ate meat.
Being vegetarian or non vegetarian is a personal choice.But of late it is recognised that vegetarian food is more good for health.

Answer 10

If you do not like the bad smell of meat stop eating. Our forefathers, who do not know agriculture, made us to eat meat.
note; Some countries eat CAT, DOG--how do you like it.
