Calling cow the mother and then selling it to other beef consuming states/countries,people is the hypocrisy of the highest order.

To make it more worse, I am a brahmin. I am definitely going to hell if there is one

I tried many different kinds of meat during a short-lived and juvenile period of cultural rebellion after I came to the West. I can't speak for others, but I simply could not stand the taste or the feeling of consuming the flesh of sentient beings. Before I tried meat, I would often hear from carnivorous friends that there was nothing comparable in vegetarian cuisine to the taste of meat and that it was something sublime. But to me, there was nothing special to its taste. It was entirely underwhelming. But, the matter of taste paled in comparison to the visceral, almost instinctive, repulsion my body experienced in the act of consuming flesh. If I allowed myself to even think about the pain experienced by the animal in its slaughter, the extinction of its animus through violence, I was almost forced to retch. I had to repress the voice of my conscience simply to be able to eat meat.

All in all, it was not a pleasant experience. I came to realize that no amount of teenage angst-driven desire to craft an identity apart from my parents was worth sacrificing my ethical scruples. My parents come from meat-eating Hindu families, but they independently decided at a young age to become vegetarians for ethical reasons. My mother did so because she grew up very close to a butcher's shop and was often subjected to the screams and squeals of animals being slaughtered. My parents made their beliefs clear to me when I was a child and which subconsciously became a part of my own ethics, but they didn't force anything upon me. I am glad for that because I've seen too many Hindu (and Jain) families impose vegetarianism as a mere custom or cultural habit on their children, without explaining the ethical basis of the practice and in particular, the principle of ahimsa found in Jainism, Hinduism, and Buddhism. Their children come to think of vegetarianism not as a matter of ethics, but as a hereditary and archaic tradition to be discarded as they adapt to the modern age.

Nice post. I know a Hindu couple who have brought their children up in England as vegetarians and from what I understand it would be very difficult for them to suddenly start eating meat having been used to a vegetarian diet from birth. I'm not sure they would be able to do it without some phsyical reaction, either being sick or having trouble digesting it.

 

[akheR]

Hindus can eat beef. In the Vedas, there's no particular interdiction. I think it was formalized in later, modern Hinduism (Manu-smriti) because, like caste system, it responded to a social need (I'm still researching why, I don't think that it's because of Buddhist or Jain influence exclusively), but it's not part of the dharma as shruti (revealed) texts show it.

 

[PakPrince]

I know probably 20 hindus from India in the US. All eat Beef and love it. Some of them only started when they shifted to the US

On the other hand, I know lets say 7-8 hindus in Karachi. Not only do none of them eat beef, but all but one are fully vegeterian.. I find this strange

Conversely, I know lots and lots of Muslims who drink but not one muslim I have know eats pork or even wondered what it tastes like. Me included... I always wonder why many Muslims are so open to drink all kinds of alcohol drinks but when pork comes into the picture they act as if omebody offended them

It is a matter of minimizing the harm that one commits to sentient living beings with the ability to experience pain and suffering. In a world in which suffering and violence is ubiquitous, we humans have the singular ability to reason, to develop and evaluate our actions against systems of ethics, and to effect changes, as limited as they may be, in our world. We can empathize and reflect on the consequences of our actions upon the lives of others and thereby strive to reduce the suffering and harm inflicted upon other living beings.

Jains and some Hindu communities have practiced vegetarianism for thousands of years. We haven't gone extinct, we haven't suffered negative repercussions to our health and well-being. It's fine if you consider this kind of ethical thinking to be "BS", but I know I can live a healthy life without needing to consume the flesh of sentient beings or to be responsible, even if indirectly, for their slaughter and so I choose to act upon that ability.

If these same animals were not killing other living things to sustain themselves then the argument would have some weight but as long as they do not change then there is no viable reason. Any 'moral' or 'ethical' reason is just plain nonsense.

Only religious reasons would hold I guess... Or just plain preference

 

[praveen]

I do. The burgers you get at Wendys and Five Guys are super tasty.

 

[sada90]

i can only say this lol , agar ghost ki lazzat lag jaie so its hard to stay vegeterian...
well when i was studying in USA at particular city where i was studying , there was no halal meat was available , i used to order online and eat like once a weekend ....
if you really want to eat ,eat halal meat

We are not the same as those animals. We have the ability to reason; we can empathize with the pain and suffering of other living beings, including animals; we can develop systems of ethics to reduce suffering in the world and act conscientiously according to those standards.

You can eat whatever you want without forcing your lifestyle on others and stop taking a moral high ground, frankly all the meat eaters don't care, thank you

I was responding to a comment that called vegetarianism "BS". I don't care what your dietary choices are, but if you are going to criticize vegetarianism in an ignorant way, I think it's fair that I be allowed to explain the basis of the practice, at least as it's part of Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism and is relevant to this thread.

This is just stupid now. Plants and vegetables are not sentient. They don't have the capacity to suffer and to feel pain. The principle of ahimsa, which underlies the practice of vegetarianism in Jainism, Buddhism, and some Hindu traditions, requires us to attempt to minimize the harm we commit to other sentient living beings.

The animals we avoid eating have some degree of consciousness, awareness, and even kinship with other members of their species, and most importantly, they can suffer and feel pain. Plants are not sentient in this way.

Humans has canine teeth which vegetarian animals don't. So one could say humans were built to be omnivorous.

honestly i cant differentiate between sheep and goat meat..
beef also tasted like sheep/goat meat..

In my experience many of these animal rights activists eat meat themselves.

I respect herbivorous humans if they're making a personal, private, ethical choice - but some of the holier-than-thou comments above have got my 'goat'. Veggies and vegans at times almost treat their decision to not eat meat as a religious practice, and can seem intent on forcing their lettuce leaves and 4-bean salads down the evil protein-strengthened throats of the rest of us.

Please don't tell the rest of us that we're immoral people and certainly don't make one of those nonsense arguments (the sort of which I've heard a few times) that says humans aren't even supposed to eat other animals. We may have built a civilisation, but we are still part of nature and a food chain; of course we have the right to consume other animals.

Plus, farm animal meat just tastes bloody amazing.

[imrankhannsu]

If I am not mistaken Hindus are not allowed to eat beef, as muslims are not allowed to eat prok. So on religious grounds you should not have it.

IMO you should take this issue up in places where you will get more Hindus to talk about this topic.

 

[imrankhannsu]

A Bangladeshi friend of mine cooked this most amazing spicy beef curry which he claims is the most common curry in Bangladesh. It went so well with the thick daal and rice he made it with. After that I just fell in love beef.

I used to request him to call me when he made the curry, and like a brother he always obliged.

I have eaten a lot of things which is available on high street like crocodile, horse, pork, beef,octopus,duck, lamb. But most of the time havent been able to finish them apart from when its a indian veggie or chicken.

Actually nope. Youtube videos prove nothing. I can put a couple of worms in beef video tomorrow on youtube if you want.

None of the scientific studies show that well cooked pork is more harmful than any other meat. In fact beef too causes fatal, harmful diseases like Mad-Cow disease. Will you avoid beef? Red meat is worse for the heart than alcohol. Would you avoid that?

I eat beef, i am fan of In n Out burgers. I born veg hindu family and my family currently, is vegan(big jump from veg to vegan). I eat whenever i get chance to eat outside but not in house.

When i was in Gujarat, it is hard to find beef there, but you can still get it in Muslim getto areas like Kalupur or shah-E-Alam.

There are several mosque in Kalupur area where non muslims (sunni wahabi mosque) not allowed. This area freely sell and cook beef, I used to eat there.
I know several indians(gujarati) who eat beef, but it is not as popular in gujarat for jain/vaishanav/swaminarayan influence.

I think, i have to eat FIve guy burger now. Is there any special burger therei should order? Please guide me here. I never ate five guys before.

Regarding mad cow, well, that would happen if you feed a herbivore meat. So it was the farming methods that caused it. Feed chicken grains to a goat and you shall see the same disease there.

I have done my research in this, so I am not talking non-sense just because you want to defend pork eating

I see no point of this thread except for a poor trolling attempt. There are Muslims who eat pork, there are Hindus who eat beef. What's the big deal ?

Stop selling misinformation.
Cow is holy as per Hindus main text Gita. Cow has been regarded at the level of mother cause child drinks its milk to survive.

Now why this sacred status came, One reason I can think of is Hindus knew very well how to make good use of cow. Even bulls were usefull because unlike West we needed bulls to plough land.

Allthough not sure if Holy but people in West they dont eat Horse as its Work Horse.

Please provide links. Saying ten times you have done research is not going to convince anyone.

A well fed, well bred pig will not eat it's own crap. And the point of mad-cow only happening because of feeding a herbivore meat is also completely made up and false

What is really funny is people bringing in such 'facts' just to prove their religious beliefs. A Hindu will convince you about ill effects of eating meat and beef. A Muslim will advise ill effects of pork. All of these are just beliefs, but for each one his own belief is the truth and others beliefs are laughable. The requirement of the hour is to let each person do what he believes in, instead of trying to prove anyone with a different belief wrong

Sorry, you are wrong and he is right. It's a cultural and not a religious issue. Shaiviks and people from South never used to consider cow holy though they did worship the bull in the form of Nandi. It's only people of the north and center, for whom cows were a rare commodity who made it sacred to avoid getting people to eat it. It also tied in with Vaishnavs who worshiped Krishna who was a goat-herd. Vaishnavs and Shaiviks were two completely different sects in Hinduism
