Vegetarianism part 2

I found an interesting quote:


I do not say that one who is vegetarian is full of compassion and one who is not, is otherwise. We sometimes find people, who are vegetarians, are very bad people. Morarji Desai


Yes, I definitely agree! I am one apt example of an evil vegetarian! >:) hahaha. Alright, jokes aside. I know that this is not something for me to judge, but here's what I think:

I am a vegetarian, but I have to admit that I have a huge list of shortcomings. I do agree that one who consumes meat can be kind and compassionate, and ,ofcourse, does not neccessarily have to be a herbivore to be that. But why not make an extra effort to further the practice of compassion. It is definitely difficult to transform your diet completely, but you can make an effort to reduce your meat intake. Farm animals are abused and slaughtered as the demand for meat continues. As I have stated in my previous post, the benefits are undeniable.  I am not advocating that you have to become a vegetarian(unless you want to). I know this topic can be sensitive and even a huge turn-off to some. And I am fully aware that I  don't have the rights to tell people what to do and stuff like that, and that is why I have been avoiding this topic with friends. Of course, it all boils down to our own personal choice. I still love my meat eater bunch of friends. :)

There are many different types of vegetarians. I am a lacto-ovo vegetarian, as I include eggs and dairy products in my diet. I am on my own personal mission to become a vegan someday, But this is an extremely difficult and near impossible task for me as I am obsessed with dairy products, especially cheese and eggs!  >___>

Wish me luck!

Farm animals are our friends too.
Have you wondered what it would be like if tables are turned?

intro intro!

Nothing more strongly arouses our disgust than cannibalism, yet we make the same impression on Buddhists and vegetarians, for we feed on babies, though not our own. ~Robert Louis Stevenson

How many years have I been a vegetarian? It has been 4 years.I have never looked back since. The benefits are undeniable, be it for the environment, personal health , or ethical benefits.

I love animals, and strongly believe we should give them the respect they deserve. I really do not  believe in eating anything with five senses. To me consuming anything with eyes, limbs, ears and noses is just one step ahead from being a cannibal. Why must one sacrifice the lives of these poor animals to satisfy his hunger. This is simply selfish.

As a Buddhist, I strongly believe in Karma. It is a sin to kill and murder these poor animals.There's no such thing called humane killing. It is just senseless, a delusion.

Vegetarianism is gaining popularity around the world, and the food industry is recognising this as well. So inconvenience is not an excuse to not becoming a vegetarian. In this blog, I will prove this to you!
