Veggie or Non-Veggie

Personally , I don't want to write controversial topics.....But the writer in me is asking to write a one...Here it is.....

Let me ask these questions and try analysing this topic . My friend Sarvesh Upadhyaya, Mechanical Engineering, McMaster University helped me a lot in gathering points..Most of the points are from our debate!!!!!!!!!

(1) What is a vegetarian ???? (Let's fix the STANDARD definition first..)

(2) Is there any difference between vegetarian and non-vegetarian ???

(3) Man (Homosaphiens) by evolution (nature's creation) is veggie or non-veggie ???

(4) Is it meaningful to be a vegetarian ???

Definition: Only Herbivorous (i.e: plant eating including fruits) are all vegetarians. We don't want to go into debates such as egg i and milk s vegg ie or non-veg. Lets "assume" these controversial egg and milk items are non-veg.

Is there any difference between eating plants and animals ?? ..................................................

Scientifically, plants and animals are all living beings. They have the same system except animals have well developed nervous system. Plants infact have a better system to adaptability. They funtion similar to animals (except locomotion) . There is no biological and functional difference between a plant or even a single celled amoeba (or even bacteria). They do most of the activities similar to animals. No clear demarcation line can be drawn indicating the basic functional differences. If animals have spirit or soul, then plants do have same spirit as their functionalities are similar. But the main difference exists in the form of chemical composition . For ex: Plants have more cellulose and animals have more proteins.

Is eating meat a sin??................................................................

I don't think eating meat is sin because the nature who created us has created lion and tiger who devours herbivourous animals. If concept of sin is applied to us, then it is applied to all the carnivorous animals including lion and tiger.

Man (Homosaphiens) by evolution (nature's creation) is veggie or non-veggie ??.........................

Man by evolution is vegetarian. simple argument is Homosaphiens when evolved don't have stronger teeth, bigger mouth and stronger nails (incomparison to carnivorous). These three things are essential for the meat eaters. Say for example, all the carnivorous uses these three basic systems to devour on another animals. Nails are used to tear the flesh, kill the prey. Bigger mouth and stronger teeth is used to bite at the neck of the prey. Ours are comparitively much weeker even though we are advanced creatures of the nature, which means we are not created as a non-veggie.

Is it meaningful to be a vegetarian ??............................................

By the second argument, yes it is not meaningful to be a vegetarian as eating plants and animals are all one and the same (all living being with most of the similar functionalities). But being the matured race of the evolution, I feel it is important to save the other species. Also, by evolution (when created) Homosaphiens are only vegetarians. If we believe nature as the god (so evolution a god's process), then our default state is vegetarian.

Finally to conclude, If you are satisfied with your current state as veggie or non-veggie, better stick with it...because it gives you satisfaction.

I welcome all of your comments on this controversial topic. I believe each others belief is respectable.

Note: I am still a type of veggie ( sometimes egg, most of the times milk products) .
