1/7

Does God Want Man to EatMeat?When discussing the topic of killing (meat eating) with Christians and

Muslims. They ultimately justify killing animals for food by pointing to their

scriptures. Thus the main reason why man kills for a living (meat eating) is

religion. The Bible and Koran both state that animals are food. They both

claim that their scripture is the word of God and thus there is absolutely

nothing wrong in killing innocent animals.

This raises the question would God want man to eat meat?

This question can be answered by looking at the health, economic, and

violence issues.

1. Health

Is meat good for us?

It's a scientific fact that vegetarians are healthier than meat eaters.

Scientific studies show that vegetarians have a much lower risk of suffering

from diseases like cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure and other

health disorders compared to meat eaters.

Scientific Studies Support a Vegetarian Diet

A major study reported in the British Medical Journal found that, of 5000

meat-eaters and 6000 non-meat eaters, vegetarians had 40% less risk of

cancer and 30% less risk of heart disease than the meat-eaters and were

20% less likely to die of any cause (Oxford Vegetarian Study).

A US study of 50,000 vegetarians showed a very low rate of cancer(Seventh Day Adventist Study, Massachusetts). It has been estimated that

by following a low-fat vegetarian diet, the risk of food poisoning is

decreased by 80%.

A balanced vegetarian diet is better for humans than one that includes

meat (from TIME magazine, July 2002).

An 11-year study of 1,900 German vegetarians has found mortality from

cardiovascular disease to be 61% lower in male vegetarians and 44%

lower in female vegetarians than the general population.

Hypertension can contribute to heart disease, strokes, and kidney failure. A

number of studies have shown vegetarians to have lower blood pressure

than meat eaters (Sacks 1974, Armstrong 1977).

The British Medical Association (1986) stated that vegetarians have lower

rates of obesity than meat eaters.

Vegetarians have lower rates of colon cancer than meat eaters (Phillips

1980).

There is overwhelming scientific evidence to prove that a vegetarian diet is

much more healthier than a meat based diet. Eating meat can seriously

damage your health.

What about Protein?

Most people are brainwashed into thinking that meat is the only source of

protein. The simple fact is that there is plenty of protein in a vegetarian diettoo.

Would God want man to eat food that will increase the chances of suffering

from major diseases, reduce the quality of life, and reduce the life span?

Absolutely not.

Would you want your children to eat food that is not good for them? No?

Similarly God doesn't want his children, you and me, to eat food that is bad

for our health.

2. Economic

Does it make economic sense to raise animals for food?

It takes at least 17 kg of corn, beans, grains etc., many gallons of water,

and some time to produce just 1 kg of beef. This is like investing $17 in a

bank term deposit and withdrawing $1 at maturity.

The 17 kg of corn, beans, and grains would feed at least 20 people while

the 1 kg of beef would feed at most 2 people.

Does it makes any sense to feed an animal 17 kg of vegetation, many

gallons of water, provide shelter, allow some time, and then cut it's throat

and kill it to produce 1 kg of meat?


4/7

Would it be better just to take the 17 kg of vegetation and feed on it directly

rather than having it go through an animal and then feeding on the animal a

much reduced quantity of food?

The reason why somewhere in the World a child dies of starvation every

two seconds is because of slaughterhouse mentality as described above. If

the millions of acres of land, which is used to grow food for animals, were

used to grow food for humans directly then there would be at least 10 times

more food than currently. Thus there would be no poverty in the World.

About 70% of the crops grown in the US are fed to animals and not to

humans. The mentality is that convert 17 kg of vegetarian food into 1 kg of

meat so that at most 2 people can eat instead of at least 20. Also there is

the thrill of killing the animals, which is very much liked by the followers of

the non-Vedic religions.

If everyone in the world became a vegetarian, there would be no such thing

as poverty. But unfortunately the majority of the humans simply can't give

up the thrill of killing innocent animals and so the children will have to

continue dying due to starvation at the rate of 2 every seconds.

Would God want man to turn 17 kg of vegetarian food into1 kg of non-

vegetarian food (meat).

Absolutely not.

3. Violence

Is violence related to meat eating?


5/7

What do all the terrorists have in common?

What do all the violent criminals have in common?

What do all the murderers have in common?

The simple answer is that they are all killers of animals (meat eaters).

Have you heard of vegetarian terrorists?

Have you heard of vegetarian criminals?

Have you heard of vegetarian murderers?

How does meat eating make one violent?

By killing for a living (meat eating), the human mind develops a taste for

killing, which leads to a mentality of violence. The mentality of killing

animals spreads to killing humans too. People who kill animals are much

more likely to kill people too. This is a fact as the terrorists, and the most

violent criminals are animal killers (meat eaters).

The vegetarians don't kill for a living (no meat) and so their mind develops

a taste for non-violence, thus a mentality of non-violence. The mentality of

a vegetarian is that killing is totally wrong, thus the killing or even injuring of

humans is totally unthinkable.

The US government spends billions of dollars each year on combating

terrorism. They think by going after those with guns and bombs will solve


6/7

the problem. They totally ignore the root cause of violence. Which is human

mentality of violence, caused by killing for a living (meat eating).

The simple formula for stopping terrorism and violence in the world is:

No Meat= No killing = No mentality of violence = No terrorism/No violence

What about killing the plants?

There is a big difference between cutting grass and cutting the necks of

chickens. Killing plants and animals is not the same.

Would God want man to kill for a living (meat eating) so that they can

develop a mentality of violence and become killers of humans too?

Absolutely not.

Why is the Cow Sacred to the Hindus?

The human mother drinks cows milk, and from it produces her milk, which

we humans drink at birth. Then at 3 months we start drinking cows milk in a

bottle then in cups. We also eat delicious foods made from cows' milk.

Foods like ice cream, yogurt, cheese, and curd. From our birth to our death

we rely on cows milk. Thus the cow is considered a mother as she provides

us with nourishing food for life. How can you kill such a mother

Every time you eat pizza, ice cream, yogurt, and other foods made from

cow's milk, you should be very great full to the cow.

How can you kill a mother that provides nourishing food to you for life?
