However in India, that is not the case. Though some amount of commercialization has happened, cattle abuse does not take place. In Goshalas, cow first feeds the calf and then milk is extracted for public use. Thus consuming milk is not double standard here. For other countries, we appeal all to follow whatever is best course of action in terms of compassion. Dear Tim,

I support your initiative. But, it is not as easy as you are thinking it to be. As per a survey, 86% workers take either tea OR coffee to get some energy. Again, both of these are widely used in many countries. And I need not mention that milk is important ingredient in both of them. Also, curd is proven to contain health benefits (if consumed within some limit.) Also, one needs to see the conclusion. Beef cattle is given death penalty for being a cattle while dairy cattle is alive but abused. So, the point which you put relates to age old debate question - CAPITAL PUNISHMENT & LIFELONG IMPRISONMENT: Which of the 2 is better? Though both of these are worse, the betterment seems confusing. Some consider that capital punishment is better as life imprisonment kills by degrees while some say that indeed lifelong imprisonment is better as it is better to remain alive somehow. Anyways, what you are saying is mandatory. Movements have started worldwide to reduce meat intake. Soon movement to reduce sufferings of dairy cattle must be started. Dear Tim!

I have one problem with regard to vegetarian diet as opposed to a vegan diet. In vegetarian diet, milk and dairy products are allowed and people use these liberally (milk, cheese, butter, ghee, etc..) Now, the point I make is that the dairy cows are much abused in many countries and suffer much more pain than beef cattle. In most countries, if not in all, the dairy cows are also killed for meat when they stop producing enough milk. If I was given only two choices for reincarnation in my next life, I would choose to be born as a beef cattle rather than a dairy cow. So, we should also be speaking out about the suffering of animals in the dairy industries, too! The offering of milk to Gods is akin to offering a product that is derived from causing great suffering to the cows. This is something the Hindu community should think deeply about. Hindus should go VEGAN ..., it's the only way out of this somewhat "double standard" we see. Sorry I digress from the tolpic somewhat, but I think my point needs to be considered.

The body was initially given by the parents and the duty of the parents is to see that it is not built up using bad food. The body can accommodate to some extent some of the bad constituents but not for a long period and all type of poisons. That is the reason why, when people eat non veg, drink liquor, smoke, and eat many types of products, the body reacts against it. That reaction and action are the diseases. The highest number of patients in all branch of illness can be seen in India. Primarily, it is told that lakhs of cows and buffaloes are slaughtered, majority of them are sick and slaughter done under unhygienic conditions. They are the carrier of many diseases and the germs to human body. Hence, let the parents take care to bring up your children as good vegetarian which is the civilized and cultured life. Never cultivate the habit of making your children eat the blood and flesh of animals. If one has fallen in the culture of taking bribe, drinking liquor, taking drugs, then it is difficult to bring him back. Like that, it is difficult to bring your children back from non vegetarian food. Hence never start non veg in your home.
