Being a vegetarian

Good question! I am a confirmed strict non-vegetarian. That is, i rarely eat stuff which is not meat, fish or at-least egg. But then i constantly come across people who believe that by being a non-vegetarian one is moving away from the nature and so on and so forth. Is it ?

Argument 1.
Seldom are humans born without the canine tooth. (Those pointy things we bother our dentists with when we are fashion conscious) That means we are supposed to chew and bite through fleshy subjects. Hence, we are born, biological, non-vegetarians.

Argument 2.
J C Bose and countless other scientists researched and searched and came up with an unanimous answer, that all plants are living beings. That means they can feel, think a little, and communicate as well. A simple example is a flower facing the sun. Turn it around and it will still face the sun, no matter how hard you try. Which means by being a vegetarian we are just fooling ourselves into believing that we are not destroying living beings.

The vegetarian by choice syndrome.
There are people who have given up having meat, fish etc sighting cruelty towards animals. How is that helping.. For instance, if we stop eating chicken, they will be killed sooner or later by other animals higher than them in the food chain, of which there are a lot. And what about animals like the dogs and cats, they can barely survive on green stuff.

The vegetarian by birth.
Good idea. My parents did not eat meat, so don’t I as well. But keep the idea to yourself and don’t propagate it by saying, its only the Lower Order of Humans that eat mean while the higher order can survive without. My opinion, a load of crap, its just “I can’t have it and hence i shall denounce it”.

Bottom-line. All you vegetarian folks out there, don’t eat meat, but please let other’s do what they want to!! There’s no point being a vegetarian if you cannot brake for the occasional stray dog on the road.
