Ahimsa, harmlessness is the creed of vegetarians. So far so good, and that is what it should be. But, putting aside ethical and moral values re animals and other creatures, most vegetarians haven't a clue as to their own welfare and wellbeing. Otherwise the millions of vegetarians all over the world would be brimming with health. Alas, such is not the case.
Many vegetarians are ignorant about ways and means of attaining superior nutrition and good health.
Vegetarians who claim to know about ethics and morals completely sidestep the issues when it comes to practising Ahimsa, harmlessness toward their own self their body, designated by some as the temple of God. They practise, either in ignorance or wilfully, the cruelty and brutality upon their own body that they so emphatically fight against those who practise it upon animals. They vilify their own body by such harmful living habits that no wild animal will perpetuate against itself. Like the Temperance Society, the vegetarians, by harping on only one theme, defeat their own purpose. For, unless mankind is revolutionised into changing his whole mode of life and living mentality, morally and physically, a partial reform will only fail ultimately.
