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.

Posted 10 Dec 2010 at 2:44 am ¶OK, but man has defied the facts and sustained non-veg diet throughout human history.
Posted 24 Dec 2010 at 5:17 pm ¶Nice. I strongly agree & support “Be Vegeterian” movement!
Posted 24 Dec 2010 at 5:18 pm ¶That is the point.
Posted 24 Dec 2010 at 5:45 pm ¶100% agreed…..
Posted 24 Dec 2010 at 9:26 pm ¶Let’s put it in a simple fashion.
Posted 26 Dec 2010 at 5:38 am ¶Man can hunt and kill.
Meat eaters can hunt and kill.
Meat eaters survive on meat, men can too.
However, men who like meat do not eat for a logical reason of can or can not. Because they like it. It is like hunting. An instinct older than religion, as Hemingway put it.
There are people Including Vivekanand who justify eating meat (page 482-483 vol 5 complete lectures). But to keep it simple, eat meat if you have a desire. Don’t if you do not have one. Somewhat like sex, except a goat could be involved.
Yes, you are very right that we also have free will and we can choose what we desire to do. It is surely up to a person to choose if he wants to eat non-veg or not. Unlike some other vegetarians, I do not think eating meat is wrong or disrespectful.
