Are we all indirect cannibals ?
I was thinking of some bad practices in poultry. They feed hens with bone powder mixed in their food. Hmm ya disgusting, but if you think of it, we all go back to nature once we are dead. In to the soil, air and water.
Somehow or the other there is presence of our ancestors in everything around. If you agree with this alchemist theory, they you must also agree that they are present in plants & animals too. So do we not eat humans in some indirect form ?
So, is veg or non-veg all about natures presentation of food to us ? Veggies look less harmful, more colourful, etc .. Presentation matters, right ?
No. Presentation only matters when nature wants to feed you. But what if you are so hungry that you want to eat or have to eat ? Then Presentation matters not! Eat that raw flesh infront of you, for even that is the same nature as in plants. Dont mind the taste, the blood, etc eat to survive.
If perspectives change the point, which was "Presentation matters" , then those points are useless to discuss. There must be something core which doesn't change with perspectives.
So veg or non-veg is just a matter of presentation of food by nature. But its useless to discuss about presentation. How about food as energy. Plant based food has least form of presentation in it, as it has not been processed much by nature. Where as animals are highly complex processed foods coming from natures factory.
Why eat simple food n not complex food ? Isn't hard good for evolution ? Be specific, evolution of body or mind ?
For everyone to survive we need to eat food that are easily produced. A brilliant thought process. Read that again. Now I write it again so that you read it again - "For everyone to survive we need to eat food that are easily produced."
Clearly an evolution of mind. Or is it lazyness to hunt ? Or is it good planning cuz game isn't easy to get. Farming requires hard work, not lazymans work. So it is indeed intellect and good thought for society and animals too. True vegetarian.
Those who call themselves "vegetarians" today, eat vegetarian food because they are used to it or because its become a habit. They could turn non-vegetarians by being rebels - trying out non-veg dishes and continue to eat them if they like it.
"Maybe" section:
Early man was a not a vegetarian, everyone would accept that. Slowly man evolved intellectually , emotionally and some of them came up good reasons like - Food for all, non-violence, etc , so they adopted the vegetarian diet.
It must have been hard during their time to stick to their principles and eat only not-so-tasty vegetarian food when they actually crave for the tasty non-veg food out of their habit. Difficult times brings along evolution, and so maybe vegetarians evolved to be much resistant to cravings, enhanced will power and intellect. It was a logical and emotional decision to go vegetarian, It was not based on taste.
Our ancestors knew that, its difficult for a person to make drastic changes to his food habits that were ingrained in him since childhood. People tend to stick to their old food habits i.e Indians like Indian food, they seek it, they crave for it. Born in a vegetarian family, one can't easily try non-vegetarian food. They knew this, our ancestors! So a group of them decided to sacrifice their taste cravings to impact generations and generations to come.
Now, we being their evolved future generation, understand that this was the scheme behind this "Vegetarian" thing. We respect the sacrifice of our ancestors and thank them. But we should also understand the real reason why we stopped eating non-vegetarian food.
With this in mind, you will not freak out if someone told you that by mistake there was a chicken piece in your dish because now, you are more logical - you did not order chicken , it came by mistake, which means you did not order for a hen's death sentence - Non-violence still intact -Checked!
You will not despise that food served to you or do any act ("Wack!" Or spitting food in mouth, etc) that makes the food go waste - Primary aim of vegetarianism was "Food for all" - Checked ? Hopefully.
