Staying vegeterian .....?!
Staying vegeterian .....?
i m proud to be a vegetarian, but still there r many products today which arent totally vegetarian. does that make me a non-vegetarian????????
Answers:
there are diffrent types of vegetrianisim. for example i'm an octo-latco vegetrian. that means i still use wool/leather (i have to use leather-i'm a ballerina and my ballet slippers are made of leather)/animal products. and lacto-means that i still drink milk and eat dairy products (though i'm lactose and tolrent i have lactose free milk)
google some diffrent types of vegetrianisim to see what kind of vegetrain you are.
just because you may use animal products and drink milk doesn't mean your not a vegetrian.
luck

its up to you to determine what you will and wont eat. just because some products arent completely vegetarian doesnt make you any less of a vegetarian yourself. its up to you to set your limits and make your choices as to what makes you a vegetarian.

i ask others who call themselves vegetarian that are thay really a vegetarian?

everyday you use so many products, do you know what ingredients are there in that product? so many animals die because of animal testing. after using a product which is tested in animals are you still a veg.

Depending whether you are a strict vegetarian or not.
Do what you can. Don't worry about how others keep their diets.

No. Unfortunately in this world, animal products are everywhere and are in everything. You just have to define for yourself what is vegetarian and not and what you are most comfortable doing.
You're only a non-vegetarian if you eat those products that aren't totally vegetarian. I've been vegan for years and I'm so driven by the fact that I am making a difference that all of those unhealthy things that I once put in my body without any consideration about its effect on the rest of the world aren't missed. Wow that was a mouthful of a sentence!
Today World over roughly more than 80-90% of the population is Non vegetarians so to say. While Muslims in India are the object of wrath, apart from other things, also for eating beef, the Europeans and Americans do get away easily in this psyche despite having beef as the staple diet. In the countries and people who follow the biggest apostle of non violence ever, Lord Gautam Buddha, the consumption of non vegetarian food is no less in quantum. For that matter right here there are innumerable communities for whom beef has been a part of the food habits, non vegetarianism being prevalent in most communities and even amongst those who feel that Muslims are aggressive because of eating non vegetarian food the prevalence of eating non vegetarian food is substantial.
A section of community has been discarding non vegetarian food in a very strong way. Amongst these sections of middle class, traders are taking the wows of vegetarianism. There are political over and undertones also in this 'hate Non vegetarians' thinking. One can go to the extent of saying that Vegetarianism is also being used as a social and political weapon to browbeat the minority community. No doubt one has the choice of shifting to vegetarianism with full commitment, but to be intolerant to the non vegetarians and to label the Muslims as having violent personality due to the food habits is a part of political campaign.
Historically speaking beef was the staple food in Vedic times (Cow is essentially food, Atho Annam Via Gau). D.N. Jha in his classic book on the ancient Indian food habits shows that it was with the rise of agricultural society that the restriction was brought in on cow sacrifice by Lord Buddha. The primary goal was to preserve the cattle wealth. The ardent follower of Buddhism, Emperor Ashok, in one of his edicts to the royal kitchen orders that only as many animals and birds be killed as are necessary for the food in the kitchen. This was to put a break on the animal sacrifice which was part of the Brahminical rituals. It was as a reaction to this that Brahminism came up to project cow as mother to show that it also has concern for cattle. One can make an interesting point a la Kancha Ilaih's 'Buffalo nationalism', as to why only cow was selcted to have the exalted place as a mother, why not Buffalo? Has the colour politics something to do with this. Needs investigation!
Than as far as the violent personality and food is concerned, not much scientific literature is available to prove the correlation of food with the violent tendencies. Violence is a personality trait, in the realm of psychology, which is shaped by familial, social and political circumstances. It also keeps changing according to the situation. A quiet person can take to arms and violence when faced with adverse physical situation. A person with a history of violent behaviour can change to quiet behaviour, without change of food habits, with the change in circumstances.
There are systems of medicine, the traditional one's which classify food according to the Satwik (leading to pure, quiet persona), Tamsik (increasing anger) and Rajsik (royal) but it hasn't been vindicated beyond stray empirical assertions. It is more than understood in the modern system of medicine that the psychological traits have all to do with the circumstances at all the levels, family, social and political. Despite some people holding on to human nature and type of food, it is far from being vindicated by any of the modern scientific studies.
There are groups of people taking to vegetarianism, the vegans, on health grounds, which one can understand. The element of religiosity is not mixed up here. Neither are these people intolerant to the ones who consume non vegetarian food. The phenomenon being observed amongst the sections influenced by Hindu right operates at the level of religiosity. Vegetarianism here is a part of one's religion so to say. Being mixed up with religion it becomes associated with emotions and that's where the strong rejection of non vegetarians in the neighbourhood. How this has been turned as one more tool of demonization of Muslims is a matter of amazement for the writer of these lines. One also feels like complementing the rumour mill of rumour spreading society, which has achieved this feat of using the food habits as yet another tool of spreading hate.
Dr. Asghar Ali Engineer, the pioneer of Human rights, narrates a story about Mahatma Gandhi's Muslim friend's son visiting his Ashram on the day of Bakar Id. Gandhi the vegetarian, ordered for the non vegetarian food to be brought to the Ashram for his Muslim friend's son as it happened to be associated with his festival. It is another matter that the Muslim boy in deference to the rules of Gandhiji's Ashram insisted that he will have no non vegetarian food in Gandhi is ashram. Respecting each others sentiments comes alive in his best form here. One sees the similar espect for 'others' sentiments in the will of Babur who writes to his son Humayun that since Hindus respect cows he should not let the cows be slaughtered during his reign.
What a contrast to the present atmosphere where the Vegetarianism is propagated and imposed in such an aggressive way. One is not sure whether Non vegetarian food leads to aggressive tendencies or rather one can say violence is in the mind and mind is shaped by social situations. One can certainly say that those propagating vegetarianism in such a fashion are intolerant to the hilt, and that's for sure. One will like to be informed, Narendra Modi, who presided over one of the worst carnages of present times, is he a vegetarian or a non vegetarian. This writer will wait for the answer! Forget Modi, one suspects that Hitler who unleashed the biggest ever pogroms in History of modern times was an ascetic and a vegetarian..
It is a really happy feeling to be a vegetarian.. No guilty feeling that we are killing so many living beings and Ofcourse many Non-Vegetarian may tell that vegetarians will have no taste of food.. But Vegetarian life is a happy life..
But it is true that one cant be pure vegetarian which it will happen unintentionally and which is natural.
But intentionally never ever a vegetarian will have Non Veg until and unless he is willing
i think as long as u r not having meat, fish, egg. u can still consider urself to be a vegetarian.
yes
i'd say it depends on your intent.
if you're eating something with meat in it then NO, you are not a vegetarian.
if, however, you accidentally slip up one day and dont realise something contains gelatin or whatever. some non-veg thing, then that doesn't make you non-veg. i'd say that if you KNOW that something has it but you eat it anyway, that you aren't really.
if you suspect that something might have soemthing bad but dont want to check, even if it's really easy (like on a packet), then you're also not a true veg.
but if you have something like a cake from a bakery with no packaging, and aren't sure if it may contain gelatin and you eat it, i suppose that's ok. it's more if you have the resources to check and yet you still go ahead and eat it that your heart isn't in the right place.
Your name is jello,which is gelatin,gelatin is boiled bones.I find that kind of ironic.Yes,i think it is appaling how widely animals are used.it is impossible to 100% vegan,because eveything is used with animals,like fossil fuels for gasoline.
no plz don't try to be non-veg. just bcoz of some dishes
like Jello? or do you mean those products wich contain eggs/milk/cheese?
or products with worchestershire sauce(anchovies)?
most veggans stay clear of all these but vegitarians are not necessarily that strict. (meaning the dairy and egg thing)
hi, i just wondered if you knew that jello is made with gelatin, an animal product. unless your jello is gelled with something like agar, jello is non veg.
there are some food that you can eat that are not vegetarian but we can eat those things like eggs
