Question

Read the following passage carefully 1. Vegetarianism promotes a natural way of life. But despite its implicit message of universal love and non-violence it has spread, as it should have. This may be because it usually is an inward-looking habit and is best cultivated in the mind. Leading a vegetarian way of life helps the animal kingdom to coexist with man. The animals supply milk, manure and energy. This has been central to the Indian culture for thousands of years. A vegetarian lifestyle is natural, multifaceted and helps self-preservation in a healthy way. Food and health are closely related. In India, a vegetarian is usually a lacto-vegetarian. In the Western world, vegetarians are sub-divided as “vegans” (pure vegetarian who do not take any food coming from animal kingdom), lacto-vegetarians, who use dairy products of the animal kingdom. The last category includes eggs, in addition to dairy products. The Western science of food considers food as something to sustain only the human body, whereas the Indian science considers food as something which sustains not only the body but also maintains the purity of heart, mind and soul. Thus an item of food which is injurious to the mind is not considered to be fit for consumption, even if it is otherwise beneficial to the body or satisfies the taste. 2. Indian food science does not give so much importance to a pra otein or even to the balanced diet but gives importance to food that increases the strength of the body and its virility. Vegetarian foods provide an infinite variety of flavours whereas non-vegetarian foods have hardly any taste of their own. In fact, non-vegetarian foods have to be seasoned with ingredients from the vegetable kingdom to make them palatable. In most sports disciplines, vegetarians lead in endurance tests. “You are what you eat” is an old saying and it is a fact that it is the food that makes the man. The food we eat, its quality, quantity, its timing and combination is of utmost importance to the healthy life.1)Why is vegetarianism not spread in our country? 2)What are different categories of vegetarians in the western world 3)How does indian science conisder food 4)What is the main difference between vegetarian and non vegetarian food​
