Question: Is man supposed to be vegetarian?
March 20th, 2008 | by Chetan |Answer:
Mahatma Gandhi said “An examination of the structure of the human body leads to the conclusion that man is intended by nature to live on a vegetable diet. There is closest affinity between the organs of the human body and those of the fruit - eating animals. The monkey, for instance is so similar to man in shape and structure and it is a fruit - eating animal, its teeth and stomach are just like the teeth and stomach of man, while those of carnivorous animals, as for instance, the lion and tiger, are entirely different.”
Let us compare man with meat eaters and herbivores. Decide answer of above question for yourself!
| Meat Eater | Herbivore | Man |
| Has claws | No claws | No claws |
| No skin pores | Has skin pores | Has skin pores |
| Perspire through tongue | Perspire through skin pores | Perspire through skin pores |
| Sharp front teeth for tearing | No sharp front teeth | No sharp front teeth |
| No flat molar teeth for grinding | Has flat rear molars | Has flat rear molars |
| Intestinal tract 3 times body length | Intestinal tract 10-12 times body length | Intestinal tract 12 times body length |
| Strong stomach acid to digest meat | Stomach acid 20 times less strong than meat eaters | Stomach acid 20 times less strong than meat eaters |
A saying and a fact:
The stamina of a camel, the strength of an elephant, the beauty of a horse are all sustained on a vegetarian diet.
