BEHAVIORAL CONSIDERATIONS

BEHAVIORAL CONSIDERATIONS

Some arguments collected

Does Vegetarian or Non vegetarian Diet affects Behavioral condition?

1. Non vegetarian foods make the person violent

The Food You Eat Has an Effect on Your Behavior Science tells us that whatever one eats has an effect on behavior. Thus, the non-vegetarians eat animal flesh and behave violent and ferocious like the animals.

Only eating of the herbivorous animal is allowed I agree that, what a person eats has an effect on his behavior. Perhaps that is the reason why Islam Prohibits the eating of carnivorous animals likes lion, tiger, leopard, etc. The consumption of the meat of such animals would probably make a person violent and ferocious. Islam only allows the eating of herbivorous animals like cow, goat, sheep, etc. that are peaceful and docile

2 Non-vegetarians are more social and less violent

There were a group of students, which were only fed on non-vegetarian. Diet and another group of students were fed with pure vegetarian food. It was found that the group of students who were fed with non-vegetarian food was more social and less violent

NOBLE prize winners for peace were non-vegetarian

The ideological vegetarian to prove their point that vegetarianism makes a person peaceful quote names like Mahatma Gandhi, failing to realize that most of the Noble-Prize winners for peace in this century were Non-vegetarians. Like Yasser Arafat1 Anwar Saadat, vitzah Rabin, Menachin Begin, Mother Teresa, etc.

Hitler was a vegetarian

Who was the person who had massacred and killed the maximum number of human beings in the world in the history of mankind? It was Adolph Hitler, who killed '6 million' Jews. Who was he? He was a vegetarian. (?)

3. Non-vegetarians are more intelligent

Ideological vegetarians claim that vegetarian diet makes a person more intelligent. In fact animal behavioral scientists have noted that to survive, meat eating predators must outsmart their vegetarian prey. However, all such theories and research break down because of the difficulty of defining intelligence.

Most of The Noble Prize Winners Were Non-Veg. Ideological vegetarians, to prove their point that vegetarian diet enlightens the mind and makes a person intelligent, give a list of names of philosophers and scientists who were supposedly vegetarian like Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, George Bernard Shaw, Aristotle, Mahavir, etc. failing to realize that a list of greater scientists and philosophers who were non-vegetarian can be readily given. Almost all the latest scientific developments have been made by westerners, most of whom are non-vegetarian. Jesus Christ (PBUH) and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) were non-vegetarian. More than 90% of the Noble Prize winners are non-vegetarian.

4 Vegetarianism doesn't make a person strong

Giving isolated unheard examples of a few vegetarians who were in the Indian army and were strong (e.g. Yadunath Singh Naik) and then quoting unauthentic research that vegetarians are more energetic and strong is one of the most unscientific ways of proving a point, which way convince an ideological vegetarian, but certainly not a logical person. Almost all the winners of the world wrestling competition are non-vegetarian. All the people who got the title of Mr. Universe for bodybuilding are non-vegetarians. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the famous body builder who won 13 World titles, 7 Mr. Olympia, 5 Mr. Universe and 1 Mr. World is a Non-vegetarian.

5 Vegetarianism doesn’t make a person an athlete

The crusaders of vegetarianism further give unheard examples such as one successful athlete unheard of by the name Sardar Paramajit Singh who was a vegetarian. Almost all athletes who hold world records are non-vegetarians. Carl Lewis is a non-vegetarian.

6 carnivorous animals have strong sense of smell and good night vision unlike herbivorous animals and human beings

Crusaders of vegetarianism argue that carnivorous animals have strong sense of smell and good night vision but human beings are like herbivorous animals, who do not have strong sense of smell and vision. I agree that most of the carnivorous animals have strong sense of smell and vision but the reason is because such animals hunt their own food while growing up unlike human beings. It is totally wrong to say that none of the herbivorous creatures have strong sense of smell and vision. Bees have a very strong sense of smell and vision.

7 Sound of carnivorous animals is hoarse unlike the herbivorous animals and human beings

Ideological vegetarians give illogical comparisons to prove their point of view and argue that the sounds of carnivorous animals are very hoarse unlike those of herbivorous animals and human beings. They try to put forth a point that vegetarian diet makes the voice melodious. Which animal is known maximum for its hoarse voice? It is general knowledge that it is the donkey and the donkey is an herbivorous animal.

Who is most well known for a melodious voice in India? - Lata Mangeshkar. Is she a vegetarian or a Non-Vegetarian? NON-VEGETARIAN!

Muhammad Rafi was a Non-Vegetarian.

Who is the most famous singer in the world even today? Late Michael Jackson … who is a Non-Vegetarian. (Though most of us may not find him melodious)

By no way am I trying to prove that a non-vegetarian diet makes a person's voice melodious. I am only disproving the illogical arguments put forth by crusaders of vegetarianism.

8. Most of the world record holders are non-vegetarian:

If you analyze the dietary history of world record holders and after conceding maximum benefit of doubt to the vegetarians, yet we will find that more than 90% of the world record holders will be non-vegetarians. There may be a few records which may be related to the diet of a person but I would be considered a fanatic non-vegetarian if I were to say that all these records was won by them because they are Non-Vegetarians.

Which Diet is better

Which Diet is better - Vegetarian or Non-Vegetarian?

This is the topic of Debate…

Argue with Pure vegetarian & win

1. Eating in excess is prohibited:

(Saying): "Eat of the good things we have provided for your sustenance, but commit no excess therein, lest My Wrath should justly descend on you: and those on whom descends My Wrath do perish indeed."

Eating in excess is prohibited in Islam. This in itself is a preventive measure for several diseases.

2 Water should be purified and not prohibited if diseases can be transmitted

Several diseases can be transmitted through water such as I. Cholera II. Typhoid III. Para-Typhoid IV. Bacillary Dysentery V. Ameabiasis VI. GiardiasisVII. Round Worm VIII Thread Worm IX. Whipworm X. Viral hepatitis XI. Polio Myelitis XII. And several other

The solution for preventing these diseases is not to prohibit the drinking of water but to purify the water. Similarly eating non-vegetarian food should not be prohibited but proper preventive measures should be taken.

3 Non-Vegetarian foods is not the only cause of ischemic heart diseases

Increased fat and cholesterol in the diet leads to its depositions on the walls of the blood vessels causing ischemic heart disease IHD. Non-vegetarian food is rich in cholesterol but is not the only cause of IHD. There is several vegetarian foods such as ghee butter, cashew nut, groundnut, coconut, groundnut oil, coconut oil, which are rich in cholesterol, also cause ischemic heart diseases. The statement of Dr. Nemichand that no vegetarian food of any kind has cholesterol is a big hoax. Such deliberate statements are made by crusaders of vegetarianism to mislead the general public. Even the educated house wife is aware that ghee, coconut oil, groundnut oil are also the cause of IHD. No wonder brands such as saflola oil are advertised in the media that they are free from causes of heart diseases

4. Egg is rich in cholesterol but not the only thing responsible

Eggs are rich in cholesterol. Recent studies indicate that the chief villain in raising serum cholesterol is not the cholesterol in our diets but rather the saturated fats which are mainly found in the animal fat such as lard and butter, and in coconut oil, etc.

Research also shows that about 2/3rd of the population experiences only a small increase in blood cholesterol after consuming high levels of dietary cholesterol. In this cholesterol non-responder the liver compensates for increase in dietary cholesterol by cutting back on its own cholesterol production. As a result the total amount of cholesterol reaching the blood stream remains the same. Only if you are a cholesterol responder, you will have to restrict your egg yolk consumption. Others can easily have one or two eggs daily without any problem.

The real reason for the cause of IHD is the fried egg and bacon breakfast, which is very popular in America. It is not the cholesterol in the egg but the saturated fat in bacon and the bacon grease or butter that the eggs are fried in.

5 Alcohol and smoking is one of the major causes of IHD

Consumption of alcohol and tobacco, including smoking, all of which are vegetarian products are the major causes of IHD.

6 Obesity Is present in both Vegetarians and Non-Vegetarians food.

It is false propaganda to say that obesity is mainly caused by non-vegetarian food. The cause of obesity is over eating a diet rich in fat. Thus, obesity is found both in vegetarians and non-vegetarians. It is commonly also seen that some pure vegetarians consume a lot of butter, ghee and oil, all of which are rich in fat.

7 Excessive meat eating causes cancer of colon

One of the causes for cancer of the colon is excessive eating of meat along with less intake of fibrous food. Fibers help in movement of food in the intestine. Cellulose present in vegetables cannot be digested in the human body due to tack of cellulose enzyme, which is present in all herbivorous animals. These undigested fibers help in the passage of food through the intestine and also prevents constipation.

The main cause of cancer of the colon is not the meat in the diet but lack of fibers to prevent cancer of colon. The diet need not be meat free but instead has to be rich in fibrous food. Another very important cause of cancer is consumption of alcohol chewing of tobacco and smoking cigarettes.

Along with the seventh day Adventists most of whom abstain from smoking and drinking alcohol, the incidence of cancer of colon was low, but the proportion was the same in vegetarians and non-vegetarians.

===============================================================

ARGUE WITH A MEAT-EATER...AND WIN!

1. Hunger argument: Eliminating meat eating will drastically cut livestock pasture and that land can then be used for growing food. One acre of land can produce 40,000 pounds of potatoes but only 250 pounds of meat. Already, vast quantities of food that can feed humans are being fed to livestock. For example, of all the corn grown in the USA, the livestock consumes 80 per cent and humans only 20 per cent.

2. Environmental argument: Topsoil erosion, global warming, depleting rainforests and extinction of species may be halted if the majority of the world's population adopts a vegetarian diet. For instance, according to research statistics, 300 million pounds of beef is imported from Central and South America to cater to the USA. The economic incentive impels these nations to cut their rainforests to make way for more pastureland.

3. Natural resources argument: Raising livestock is an inefficient way of generating food. While 25 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of wheat, 5,000 gallons are used to produce one pound of beef. Also, it takes 78 calories of fossil fuel to produce one calorie of beef but only 2 calories for one calorie of soybean.

4. Antibiotics argument: A large amount of antibiotics are fed to livestock to control staphylococci. These are only partially effective, as the bacteria are becoming increasingly immune to them. Both the antibiotics and the bacteria they were intended to destroy are still in the meat when it goes to the market.

5. Cancer: Death rates from cancer are about only one-half to three-quarters in a vegetarian population as compared to the meat-eating populace. Instances of breast and colon cancer are higher in non-vegetarians. This is due to their diet that has a high fat content but is low in fiber. Natural sugars in dairy products increase the risk of ovarian cancer in women. Conversely, the intake of plant pigment beta-carotene, higher among vegetarians, prevents lung cancer. Vegetarians also have more of 'natural killer cells' to fight cancer cells.

6. Calcium loss: A high intake of animal protein causes an excessive excretion of calcium through the urine, thereby encouraging the loss of calcium from bones, which in turn increases the risk of developing osteoporosis, kidney and gallbladder stones.
