vegetarian foods yield more nutrition and enhance the body's immunity to fight diseases, promoting health and long life. Most of the animals used for food eat sorts of unhygenic eatables and are likely to have harmful infection in their body. Imagine the plight of person who consumes such flesh and becomes prone to innumerable diseases. If even then, buman beings continue to destroy themselves by eating fleshfood, either in blisad race of copying others or in the pursuit of so called modernity, it ! can only be called their misfortune or ill luck.
Before slaughtering animals for food, no adequate examination is made of the diseases they harbour in their bodies and thus their diseases enter the bodies of those who consume their flesh. Besides this, the cruel and torturous amosphere in which these animals are killed, creates a lot of fear, tension and anger which further makes the meat poisonous. This poisonous and disease-infested meat, on consumption, induces lots of incurable diseases and it seems that it fulfils the killed animal's curse, "As you consume me, so will I consume you."
Oh, my non-vegetarian brethren, before you get ready to eat meat the next time, please do pay a visit to the poultry farm and slaughter house to see with your own eyes the torture inflicted on these silent victims, their pain and suffering and the ghastly expressions on the faces of these animals. Then ask your conscience whether our superiority and humanity lie only in the selfish perception of our taste buds and in snatching for ever life out of these living beings which we can never give back. Dear brothers, please look into the pros and cons of your own interest. Flesh-foods instead of providing nutrition, give you incurable diseases and diminish your lifespan. Such foods pollute your minds and hearts, destroy your happiness and peace of mind, leading to decline of morals and character, pushing not only yourselves but also your coming generations towards incurable diseases and unsurmountable troubles. For the sake of saving your children whom you love more than your own lives, from the dangers of cancer, heart ailments and other social disadvantages, please stop consumption of flesh-foods right from today itself. Every moment is the right moment for repentence. According to the scriptures, "Those who renounce flesh-foods are equally rewarded as those who perform a yajna". -Gopinath Aggarwal
