Vegetarian – results in me.

If someone is looking or maybe wondering how survival is possible without consuming non-veg items. Then take me as the live example. All the living beings put to death by various means electronically developed in such a way that with a single push button, the innocent animals are slaughtered. Many more advanced devices are evolved and many factories are set up to slaughter the animals. There are some places where you won’t find any vegetarian menu. The seafood which is consumed by many, some to the extent of eating it alive are caught from oceans/sea by electrocuting and others by means of hooks/nets. The trends of taking pictures of sea animals before consuming has become some kind of fashion for Bhutanese community without realizing the act is sinful. I feel it is inappropriate and there is no act to feel proud of after all we are consuming the dead bodies of innocent animals.

What leads to the rise in a slaughterhouse? It’s definitely due to increasing in demand. Poor animals are raised after caging in four boundaries, treated inhumanly, fed with toxic chemicals to increase the growth, tortured, and at last dragged to be killed only to satisfy the greed of human beings. How can one being the buildup of flesh and blood kill and eat the other beings who are also composed of flesh and blood? It is so disgusting to think of it. The comfort we desire and the sufferings we don’t want also apply to those poor animals. Consider, the day you were born you were separated from your mother, then placed in a cage, raised with the chemically treated diet only to be slaughtered at the end. The names/terms from their flesh are differently named to suit those consumers. One can find many cuisines prepared with the dead animals than those prepared with vegetarian ingredients.   

I lived with the vegetarian diet for the last 31 years and now I feel that there is some deficiency in nutrients in me that are sourced only from the meat. The realization clicked in my mind when my son, a month old started developing signs and symptoms of eczema. My daughter suffers the same fate which is exceptional. When the same problem is repeated I got to know why it is happening to me. After some thought, I got to know some friends & families with the same problem. Upon inquiry, I came to know that the male partners are vegetarian [confirmed with two]. That has provoked me to the conclusion that there are some nutrients missing in the vegetables.

Something is really missing in me and now my kids are suffering. That doesn’t mean, vegetarians should eat meat. I am not encouraging to consume rather I discourage those meat-eaters. It may be my karmic deeds or it is their karmic actions that they are ought to suffer.

Hoping for the best as time passed by.
