Question

Vegetarianism promotes a natural way of life. But despite its implicit message of universal

love and non-violence, it has not spread, as it should have. This may be because it is usually an

inward looking habit and is best cultivated in the mind.

Leading a vegetarian way of life helps the animal kingdom to co-exist with man. The animals

supply milk, manure, and energy. This has been an important part of the Indian culture for

thousands of years. A vegetarian life style is natural, multifaceted and helps prevention of

ailments 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

subdivided as “vegans” lacto-vegetarians who use dairy products of the vegetable kingdom and

lacto-ova-vegetarians. The last category includes eggs in addition to dairy products.

The western science 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 buds. Indian food science does not give much importance to protein or even to the balanced

diet but it gives importance to food that increases the strength of the body and its virility.

Vegetarian food provides an infinite variety of flavours, whereas non-vegetarian food has hardly

any taste of its own. In fact non-vegetarian foods have to be seasoned with ingredients from the

vegetable kingdom to make them palatable.

In most sport disciplines, vegetarians lead in endurance tests. “You are what you eat” 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 healthy life.

More and more intellectuals in UK, France and Israel are turning to vegetarian diet not only on

ethical and humanitarian grounds, but also for health and ecological reasons.​
