Why be Vegetarian? Hare Krishna

[DownWithHer]

Wow I never thought about it like this before. Everything about meat seems so cruel. It feels like meat eating is created from starving homo sapiens and evolved into something everyone eat to satisfy our taste buds. Im going to eat much less meat. Yay!

[sam8110]

HOW can someone treat those chicks in that way, that is mind numbing. I truly think something needs to be done about this, about the way we treat other species. Someone needs to stand up, but not in an aggressive way like peta. In a moral and logical way. NOONE can deny what humans do is beyond cruel, we just need someone who is of respect to stand up. Like richard dawkins and the god delusion.

[1958boomergirl]

Why be vegetarian? Heck, why not??

[maxrutc09]

I should be vegetarian. If extraterrestrials came from outer space, they might be just as "higher" to us as we are to animals, and might just as well assume that we have little to lose or gain in life. But the thing is, is I can put up with the repulsive aspects of meat because I am an experience-harvester. I want to know how everything looks and feels and smells and tastes. I never eat meat casually. I just want to know what snakes and ants taste like, as well as cacti and seaweed. I am bad?

[sam8110]

@maxrutc09 thats disturbing.

[shakeexon]

love prasadam...:) hare krsna

[Pashupatastra]

Can i know what music is being used? Hare krsna!

[MontyBrith]

@Pashupatastra Hi there, no sure what music is being used I never made the video.

Jay Radhe!

[masterpangloss]

@Pashupatastra The song towards the end with violin is 'Requiem for a Dream'

[WinterHaven]

I've been vegan for many years and I have perfectly healthy labs. My physician is impressed. Why is it all the anemic people are flesh eaters? I've known a LOT of people suffering anemia-they all eat meat.

[MontyBrith]

@WinterHaven Meat is full of acid, too much acid causes all sorts of problems, alkaline foods help with health alot.

[cattlewrangler]

Eat meat you don't want animals dying of old age spreading disease.

[joughin88]

"are you being brainwashed" was obvious .But being vegetarian was something i've never seriously considered, nice one mate!

[88maartje88]

@joughin88 Great!

[Kronche1]

nice,i will become a vegeterian!

[88maartje88]

@Kronche1 Great!

[earthlinged]

Very Good!

[adipoliprince]

thanx hari bol

[frankbough1955]

hahahah so funny to see westerners doing this ..hahaha what are they thinking ???

[rlaist]

For an ideal middle-ground between vegetarianism and meat-eating, find out about mammaltarianism, a diet that excludes most mammal-meat.

Search "Mammaltarian" on YouTube.

Go mammals!

[dmichelle19]

I wonder how many animals had to die, when I eat my tomatos and salad. I mean, I take the living space of birds, frogs etc. by farming, and have to kill worms and snails before they eat my meal. So: 1 person - two tomato: 1 snail and maybe one bird. Or one chicken for 4 people? Or are snails, birds, worms etc. no animals?

[hellieweird123]

it kills less animals to be vegetarian, if any.

[metrx330]

some have to die. The reason for vegetarianism is that it takes LESS land per unit of energy result using crops rather than tending livestock. It doesn't mean that not eating meat results in nothing else dying. Its about minimizing damage.

[tamikacyrus]

Haha, are you serious thats your reasoning? You still eat plants right? We would lead very short lives if we tried to survive entirely on animal products.

If we eliminated breeding animals for food & concentrated on plant based food, we would actually be creating more plants for the snails, worms and birds haha.. plus we would be feeding more humans! i do not see how eating plant food kills birds or worms?? I can understand the snails if farmers use pest control, but there are organic methods.

[boxetic]

who is telling you to kill snails, birds, worms?

[rohitkumarindia]

be a hindu , and be a vegetarian

If you're a meat eater, then you pay to have animals slaughtered, so when it comes time for you to shuffle off this mortal coil, I suggest you dress for warm weather in the Hereafter, just in case you end up in the Everlasting Tropics!

[Tommy9834]

Instead of letting society, social pressures, and our tongue tell us what to do, we should listen to the Veggie-Nazis, and Go-Green-Bullshitters tell us what to do.

Also it kinda bothers me when people say "Going veg will feed the hungry" because these people don't seem to know anything about shipping relief packages and how it's done. Too bad I can only have 500 characters so I'll simplify it. Going veg will not help the starving much.

[huraziel]

all i know is that you dont present any argument, but you say you have one, the video does have good points and i am at the begining. I actually know this first points are about the soil are similar to what happened in Iceland and now much of it is a desert.

[juanjosemtzvillela]

80 % of all the foodgrains production is used to produce meat ,to feed pigs cows and chickens,it takes 16 pounds of soybean to get one kilo of meat ,and 12000 liters of clean water to get 1 miserable kilo of meat

[hirofan]

jimnjom why do you feel it's necessary to write hurtful words?

[kxmade]

Its the fuckin truth!!

[AcyutaPriyadas]

Vegetarians saves lives of the animals=((((((((LOVE)))))) and passion

Vegetarians saves lives of forests and acres of lands

and contributes to the law of no killing of animals which is stated in all the religions of the world which also states that we MUST saves the animals that are in danger

[ovi000]

Let's say humanity would be vegetarian, you really think that a wealthy country like germany will donate the extra food to a poorer country, they will buy better cars with the money they'll get from selling it.One more thing i wanna see a man from the north eating just vegetables. The answer to starvation and most of the other problems would be: simple living and high thinking, but in our world one man is driving a rolls royce while another starves to death

[ovi000]

LIf it would be planted potatoes and beans in every spot possible starvation wouldn't be a problem, I even know where to get the money from: global disarming(would stop starvation) Of course eating meat is much more inefficient than eating vegetables but you overreact in this video.

[haridham]

watch?v=ry9LVdwKel8

[darlinate]

this video made me cry at the end, poor little chickens!!

[purplemonkey51]

OMG. Those poor little chickens. They were just being thrown around around bashed around!!! I feel so sad.

This vid makes me feel bad that I eat meat. It makes me not want to eat it anymore. I guess that was the point of the vid so good job, you were sucessful

[hotsal8]

GOD bless  all....

[gopidravid]

dont eat it,

[NdaLvr]

What a poignant film. It certainly gets the point across. Glad I don't eat flesh foods!

[haridham]

watch?v=KNjWiR-S4JA

[k9gwen]

i liked the begining of the video until you started comparing consumption of meat to slavery and the killing of inocent people.

[mayisnatural]

its the barbaric slaughter of animals that goes on here in america in order to consume them that IS in the same catagory. youre heartless to think that it's not.

[RyvreSaige]

Lovely video. I always felt guilty about eating meat... This vid makes me not want to eat it ever again.

[AnimeTalk]

thank you , i agree with you

[fenhen]

The first half of the video basically showed the most logical reasons to become vegetarian in my opinion: saving land and resources, reducing deforestation etc..

The second half was utterly ridiculous and up its own ass though. Comparing eating meat to slavery, Nazi's and the KKK? There's no evidence to say that we will look back at eating meat as being barbaric, so let's not assume we will, okay?

[malkeshp]

Yeah ok comparing it to slavery, nazi's and kkk was maybe a bit over the top. Eating meat has been proven to make one more violent (thinking and acting upon.

[rollingplacebo]

watch "Earthlings" here on You Tube

[kenzee3083]

betch! go veggies yay

[sanderthedude]

hu-man we should start eating ,let's eat the bad plp ,uh ? finish them off in a nice juicy sauce

[Krazyavy786]

Dude im hindu and im vegitarian!!!!!

[Rule4Fear]

It talks about society manipulating us to eat meat. this video is propoganda too. You think our treatment of animals is so horrible take a look at nature itself, the lion isnt exactly playing "tag" with antelope. And no matter wut we do its extreme arrogance to think we are destroying the planet. we might change it but the god damn planet is gunna keep spinning. Nicely made video though, good job connecting the Halocaust to a turkey sandwhich, bravo.

[Jhulanyatradd]

This is a VERY powerful video. Do animials in nature, imprison a baby calf and torture it to death for 2 months? VEAL! Do Animals in nature destroy the earth? The Lord gives us intelligence, we must use it.....Thank you so much for this award winning production!

[Rule4Fear]

The jungle wasp will lay her eggs in a living spider and then when they hatch the larva eat it alive from the inside. Saying things like "save the planet" is arrogant and down right stupid. The planet is fine, we might kill ourselves by overusing fossil fuels or destroying civilization in a nuclear halocaust but earth itself will be relatively unharmed. Life is only sacred because we say it is... wut makes our opinion so meaningful?

[Jhulanyatradd]

Are you defending the right to eat meat?

revealed scriptures such as the Vedas, Bible, Bhudist, Mormon Litature. All defend the rights of animals not to be used for food stuffs. What is you source of knowledge, mental speculation? Cattle production is the biggest danger to the environment. Open your eyes.

[Rule4Fear]

The Vedas is the Hindu religion if I am not mistaken and they do in fact value cattle as sacred creatures. This is for practical reason because their manure is more valueble as a energy source than their flesh, if they could afford to eat meat they would. and the Bible? well the jews did eat the flesh of lambs and after Peter's vision of the banquet filled with all kinds of unkosher flesh Jesus said "Take and Eat" so I really don't know how any of these scriptures support your views...

[Jhulanyatradd]

i have studied the Vedas for over 12 years now and it is not a Hindu religion. It is the original Scriptures from God. The Vedas proclaim the Cow as sacred as she represents Mother Earth. Yes they use hee dung as fuel but that is not why she is sacred. She is Mother.

[Rule4Fear]

listen buddy, u can call the Rig Vega anything u freakin want Indian people were invaded through the Kaber Pass by Aryans who all but wiped out the Indus Valley culture and imposed their nice lil system of control(caste system) so they wouldnt rise up and revolt... religion is there for practical purposes "sacred" is a made up term.

[SathuGopa]

Aryan invansion is nonsense theory cooked up by britishers.

The term Aryan is the word "used for those people who are spiritually advansed" be they be of - any origin, any nationality, any colour, any society, any race, any religion. this is a big misconception.

[Rule4Fear]

yes if ur talking about the manipulated view that was generated in the 19th and 20th centuries to describe the original speakers of the Indo-european launguages, but the actual word originates from the Indo-iranian self designation "arya" which is spoken of in the very texts of the RigVega which predates the British concept by quite a few centuries, do ur research...assface :D

[NFah43Bk]

brother i think you are the one authority on the word "arya" Do you even know Samskrit.the language in which the Vedas are written?The Vedas were written by Maharishis on the banks of River Saraswati which flowed once in present day India.there is nothing called "Indo-European" languages, its only Samskrit(&Tamil) from which the other languages originated.Dont show off your ignorance and foolishness,if you know Bitter words "assface" are the result of poor and weak conscience

OM Shanti

[malkeshp]

There is no proof what so ever that the aryan theory is true. Evidence including recent archaeological evidence all points to the fact indians have lived there and were not taken over. Ornaments, jewelery, statues, pottery - all being found and dated before the supposedly 'aryan invasion', are still found to be made and worn by the people of india today. As SathuGopa said, it was the british who invented it to suppress the indian people and deny them there heritage so they look superior

[malkeshp]

What makes you say vedas is not a hindu religion? Hindu is a term used by the first western people who entered india to describe the religion of the people of the country (excluding muslims, sikhs - probably all the people who 'idol worshiped'). It was not one used by the people to describe themselves.

[michaelgrs]

Vedas is not Hindu. Vedic culture and The Vedic lit is beyond Hinduism the sum and substance of the Vedas is to surrender to Krsna and engage in His service. "Hindu was a name given by the Muslims in reference to the river sindu of which the Muslims pronounced Hindu

[Inuyashabuddha]

hello jhlan i think this is the video i was going to send you

the one about how the revealed scriptures of god all point to vegitarianism.

looks like maya and sense gratification are realy fighting you here ha ha ha. oh well if not this life then the the next the lord is merciful and eventualy from brahma to the ant all entitys go back home

[Jhulanyatradd]

Yes, the world will keep spinning, but who will be able to survive or want to?

God gave the animals their type of food, it is not to be equated with what He gave us humans to eat. I give you nuts and the fruit bearing trees as your food. Did you know that if a cow is not killed for her meat, she can feed a family of 4 on her milk products more than 15 years? think cheese, butter, yougert, icecream. Do you like any of these things?

[Rule4Fear]

I am very aware of the economical advantages to living strictly on plants, I am also aware that there is a large energy waste that occurs by eating things higher on the food chain. But this is for 3rd world countries in which famine and overpopulation make it necessary to only eat to survive. I am grateful I live where this has never been a problem thanks to the vast fertile areas my country possesses therefore I will enjoy my privilige of eating as I choose, not as I must.

[Jhulanyatradd]

Sorry if i judged you for you your understanding. i just wanted to make the point that there is a spiritual law, you may choose to follow or not. Following it gets you out of the cycle of repeated birth old age disease death and rebirth. But you may stay here and enjoy the Earth too. i want to go home were the enjoyment is far superior and be free of the chains of this prison house. i like to inspire others to get out of here too.

[rollingplacebo]

watch "Earthlings" here on you tube

[porolita22]

Vegetarian lifestyle is for the open minded person. Still, Veggie or not, We should not close ourselves and dismiss something we haven't tried, neither judge people by what they choose to eat or not to eat.

[kingvin74]

something about this video scares me.. i think it's the odd voice.

[elldog56]

i am a vegetarian because of these reasons. The only way I know to change us from eating meat is to take a stand myself. Meat may taste good, but it isn't right. There are many other things you can eat to replace it.

[jemmre]

And...so the fuck what, because hitler was a vegetarian, its bad, what about Ghandi, he was a real bad guy. Simple minded animals. Come join the human race when you've evolved enough to make your own conscious choices about what you eat....Oh yea but society knows best! Thats exactly the kind of shit Hitler tried to convince people of. Think for your self!

[Jhulanyatradd]

One day when you evolve you will have a heart and love for those poor creatures.

[Rule4Fear]

hell yeah man, hell yeah. This Jhulanyatradd fellow would change his mind in a second if he ever had a nice juicy In-N-Out double-double burger. Vegetarian is just an Indian word for "losey hunter"

[InSaneTK]

There are two kinds of people in the world

Those who only care about themself(1), and those who care about others(2)

You are 1. You don't give a damn about the future, the future your kids might possibly live in. You don't care for the planet, other livign beings. Basicaly... and evil person in one way or another regardless of how much you want to deny that.

[Rule4Fear]

Hi there buddy, how are ya, not that I would care since Im obviously a person who doesnt give a damn... but regardless of ur present state I would like to offer a bit of an insight to me "the evil person" and why I am so hopelessly lost in your eyes. I act on the same basic principle that you do, "searching for fufillment" now while I find a bit of it in a tasty helping of a certian food, u find in it calling people like me evil, so take ur self-righteous ass and attach to a gay cock, u cun t.

[InSaneTK]

"so take ur self-righteous ass and attach to a gay cock, u cunt."

If your an idiot, it will eventualy show through in your writing in the end. And it did.

I'm gonna be smart enough and not say anymore, most people feed on other peoples responses in order to "win", so I won't respond anymore. Have fun commenting.

[janaki1008]

Nicely made video with plenty of unfortunate facts. Srila Prabhupada ki jai...

[animematt]

not many facts in this video.

Vegetarians saving land? They destroy more with uprooting the plants.

But you know your right. Cattle do eat too much of our grain. I assume you want them all to be killed right? I mean...we cant be letting them eat our grain..

[ncnikonguy]

Excellant video....and sadly very true....

[WindowOpportunity]

Of course you realize the most well known vegetarian in modern history is Adolf Hitler.

[jagatinho]

As far as I know he became vegetarian only because of health problems.

[WindowOpportunity]

Hitler was a self-declared vegetarian from 1931 until his death in 1945. Hitler's diet was influenced by essays of composer Richard Wagner which promoted vegetarianism. Hitler idolized Wagner as a young adult, saying: "I don't touch meat largely because of what Wagner says on the subject."

Also, he farted a lot.

[harrycrumb1989]

"Hitler was a vegetarian." Such a useless fact. Joseph Stalin was a meat eater, so what?

[kingvin74]

so? and George Bush eats meat..

[eric5906]

Seig Heil!

[InSaneTK]

So your saying that vegetarians are as bad as the nazis? Like caring for other life on the planet then just humans is evil?

[adb2779]

where'd you get your statistics...so much rhetoric...so little fact...

[janaki1008]

If you do a google search on 'vegetarian' you get websites with statistics. Then it's only a matter of who you accept as an authority. Who do you trust? If you've decided that you'll be cruel and violent then you'll accept information from like-minded sources

[jerrysproehlich]
