I think we in the West eat far too much meat and need a more balanced diet.

 

Saying that, your average Indian is quite weedy. I am convinced vegetarianism was an attempt by Brahmins to control the masses. I mean why have they banned eggs? They are not foetuses, just a waste product. In terms of Karma egg consumption makes no sense, but in terms of the bodily function (i.e. consumption of B12 and Iron), elements that make the body more active and less passive, it makes sense to make people not have as mich B12 in order to make them passive and control them. I strongly believe that Vegetarianism was/is a control mechanism of the masses and to keep the caste system well and truly alive.

 

What compounds this more is, The Brahmin bestowes the Kshatriya title on people like a knighthood and says, Ok if you defend us (the Brahins) then we will let you eat meat (because obviously they realise it makes them stronger and less easier to subdue). Amazing, we suckers still fall for this clap trap, and do not eat according to conscience rather than Karmic blackmail!
