What do you think the value of

being a vegetarian?

Man needs food to live Food can be classified into two

groups - vegetarian and non-vegetarian Man perhaps

started as a non-vegetarian because we know ancient

times man hunted for food Then he learned to eat fruits

Much later he mastered agriculture and began growing

grains to make food and these were used as supplements

to meat In most of the countries even today

non-vegetarian food forms the major part of the normal diet

Both types of diets go to build the body and supply the

necessary energy In certain aspects the non-vegetarian

diet may be better in that it supplies the necessary protein

and fats required by the body easily Liver content from

non-vegetarian food may be helpful to keep the liver

functioning well and supplies certain types of vitamins

Those who argue in favor of non-vegetarian diet point to

milk which is in a sense non vegetarian and which every

vegetarian takes without objection But extreme

vegetarians like Ganhi were against even milk In fact for a

very long time Ganhi went without taking milk though later

he took goat’s milk on doctor’s advice Why milk is

tolerated is because it does not involve the cruelty of

killing, though milking the cow at the cost of the calf may

involve cruelty

A vegetarian diet can supply all the necessary food items

needed by the body except that it may be deficient in the

required amount of protein in our food Vegetables are

harmless to the body compared to a non-vegetarian diet

For instance, meat, if not carefully kept and handled may

carry diseases A vegetarian diet is definitely deficient in

Vitamin B and C for which a vegetarian will have to

depend on a supplementary such as pills and tablets to

keep up his strength

Another point in favor of vegetarianism is man’s denture

and the long intestines point to the fact that man could

best be a vegetarian Economically vegetarian food is

cheap; vegetables and fruits and greens are delectable

and beautiful to look at
