Vegetarianism is being initiated by the Sages in China and India since time immemorial to prohibit the infliction of cruelties upon fellow animate beings. It is the very basic in the cultivation of compassion and love among all sentient beings. Today, with adequate evidential materials which involve men from all walks of life and traditions, vegetarianism is acknowledged all over the world, as essential diet to promote not only health consciousness but also moralities as the principality of life as well. It is a goal towards Universal love and peace and a provider of good health for the soul.

Many scientists have come to a conclusion that man is by nature to live not on meat but on a vegetable diet. Man's structure, external and internal, compared with that of the other animals, shows that fruit and succulent vegetables constitute his natural food. On top of all the contrasts, herbivorous animals are docile in nature but that of meat-eating carnivorous animals are fierce and wild.

Fats of animal flesh such as cholestrol do not dissolve easily in the human body. Instead they deposit themselves unceasingly upon the walls of the meat-eater's blood vessels. As time goes by, the vessels become thicker and norrower, permitting lesser blood to flow through. This affects the function of the heart that is forced to increase its pumping capacity in order to send blood through clogged and contracted vessels. As a result, high blood pressure, strokes and heart attack prevail.

On the other hand, during the agony of being slaughtered, the terrified animals undergo profound changes. First of all, secretion of toxins generated by rage and fear at the time of slaughter, are forced into the blood stream. Through circulation of blood, these poisonous substances are pervaded to various muscles of their bodies. Slaughter not only terminates the normal cleansing functions of the body but also leaves the animals saturated with their own waste substances.

Toxin wastes, including uric acid are present in the blood and tissue, as also are bacteria from animal diseases, such as hoof and mouth disease, contagious abortion, swine fever, malignant tumor, etc. Urea and uric acid which deposit in the muscle fibers of meat are among the most eminent wastes that a meat-eater burdens his body with. A pound of beefsteak contains about 14 grams of uric acid. The intake of uric acid is too much for the kidneys and liver to eliminate beside the body's own daily production and as a result, the excess uric acid is deposited throughout the body hence causing painful conditions of gout, rheumatism, headache, epilepsy, hardening of the arteries and nervousness and many others.

Man is by nature a vegetarian spiritually. In the Genesis of the Bible, under the story of creation, God, after created human said, "I have provided all kinds of grain and all kinds of fruit for you to eat; but for the wild animals and for all the wild birds I have provided grass and leafy plants for food."

Man is not just a body of mere biological organism. The greatest concern is the acquisition of insights into man's innermost being which is frequently referred to as his "Spiritual Nature or Conscience." From the standpoint of Nature's Law and Order, all creations are one - that is, all life forms whether human or non-human, are descendants of a common root.
