________________ VEGETARIANISM Lesson 21-Vegetarianism I'm Jain and like all Jains, I am vegetarian because we respect all life forms. There are some people who are not Jain, but are also vegetarian out of their love for animals and the environment. I do not want to eat anything that causes too much pain to other life forms. Hi! I'm Veggie Vikram and I'm going to tell you all about vegetarianism We obviously need food to live, so we cannot practice complete nonviolence, but we try to stop as much violence as we can. 74 I do not eat meat, chicken, fish, eggs and other animal products. I also try to minimize violence to plants by not wasting any food. I plant trees and protect my environment.
