Re: Is Eating Meat Associated with Masculinity and Power?

The fact that meat makes you strong was also prevelant in Guru Gobind singh's time.I read one saakhi where some people asked Guru gobind singh that a turk can eat whole goat and we eat rice and lentils how could we fight with them.The fact is Almost everywhere warrior races used to eat meat  even in hinduism kshatriyas were allowed to eat meat.

May be reason behind it is that fighting war is very heavy body exercise and body needs enormous amount of energy and protein which could had been easily obtained from meat.

As far diseases are concerned, Indians are more prone to Diabetes and heart diseases even if they are less obese and vegetarian. Its because of genetics

So Yes meat will always be associated with power and energy but for those people which are doing plenty of physical activity .For others the less they eat the better it is
