________________ Fourth, someone may say that if people stop eating non vegetarian food the population of the animals will increase tremendously. It is not so because at present the animals are breed in a farm with artificial insemination for the specific purpose of being served as a food which can be stopped. Due to which the food and water required for feeding them will also get saved which can be used to feed the people many fold. So the fear of scarcity of grains and other vegetarian foods if everyone becomes vegetarian is also baseless. Further plenty of water will be saved which is being wasted at present by the slaughter houses and that will ensure adequate water supply for all. As per report by the President's Science Advisory Committee, Vol. II of May, 1967 titled as "The world food problem" which describes a fact that cattle must be fed 10 kg of vegetable protein (from grains, etc.) in order to produce 1 kg of animal protein. There are many other surveys available which also substantiate these facts. Fifth, people are misled to believe that non vegetarian diet is must for protein, etc. But in reality the requirement of the protein and even omega 3 fatty acid can be met in a better way through vegetarian diet with an extra benefit of being saved from the disadvantages of non vegetarian diet, like excess fat, high cholesterol, paapa, etc. 40 KEY TO HAPPINESS
