IS NON-VEGETARIAN FOOD PERMITTED OR PROHIBITED FOR A HUMAN BEING?
Between Dr. Zakir Naik and Mr. Rashmibhai Zaveri
(Patkar Hall, Mumbai, India, 9th May, 1999)
I would like to state a quotation by Dr. William T. Jarves. Dr. William T. Jarves, he is the advisor to the 'American Council of Science and Health' 'ACSH', and he is also the 'Professor of Public Health and Preventive Medicine' in the Lomalinda University, and he is also the founder and the President of the 'National Council Against Health Frauds', and he is the co-editor of the book 'The Health Robbers - a closer look at Ouakery in America' - Most of the quotations he gives... from America. And according to him, he classifies 'Vegetarian' based on the behavior's stand point, into two categories... 'Pragmatic Vegetarian' and 'Ideological Vegetarian'. 'A Pragmatic Vegetarian' chooses his diet on objective health reasons - He is more reasonable in his approach, rather than emotional. 'The Ideological Vegetarian' on a other hand, he chooses his diet based on a principle, which is based on ideology - he is more emotional, rather than reasonable. And Dr. William T. Jarves says... 'One can spot an Ideological Vegetarian, by his exaggeration of the benefits of Vegetarianism, and you could see that in the talk which preceded my talk... exaggeration of benefits of Vegetarianism. And the lack of skepticism, and the over looking of the fact that extreme Vegetarianism, can lead to potential health risk'. He says that...'The ideological Vegetarian... he pretends to be like a scientist, but he is more like a lawyer, than like scientist' - and you could see that in the talk by the learned speaker, more like a lawyer than like a scientist. They gather data information selectively, against the information which is against the ideology. This may be good for a debate like the one we are having, but not for engendering... scientific understanding. Dr. William T. Jarves says that... 'Ideological Vegetarianism' is filled with hypothesis - It is filled with extremism, from which even scientists and doctors are not immune'. And that you can see the quotation - Mr. Rashmibhai Zaveri has said, several diseases, and it is possible for me to refute each and every... but if time permits. Talking about science... but the approach was not scientific. All can be prevented very well - 'Prevention is better than cure'... is the base of the medicine - which time will not permit me to go into health, and etc. In the rebuttal, if time permits I will try and cover most of the other aspects - and 'Health'... I will try and cover in the rebuttal.
