One more aspect that might help is the human evolution factor. Early humans were eating raw meat (just like other animals), then they figured out cooked/burnt meat and it took several years to figure out grain cultivation. Hindu culture has spent several years to figure out what combination (e.g. Lentils go well with Rice) is the best for maximum nutrient absorption within human body. Vegetarianism is actually a sign of progress. Another factor is respecting the conciousness in the nature. Life can sustain only on another living thing except plants. Plants grow out of non-living things. Hindu culture, out of respect to the living things in nature, suggests to go to the least degree of conciousness which are plants.

Killing animals and eating them and found a excuse in the name of Kurbani to the God by Islamics or Vamamargi Hindus or Khatriyas who have Dharma to save man kind from animal dominance and enjoy Shikar or Shudras who have no alternative resource to maintain him or feed his children or Brahmins who are the slaves of Taste in the name of Dharma and wrongly translate Ashwa Medha ( Horse sense) Translating (MEDHA) as killing and offering it to the demigods thus all of the so called human beings are bent upon eleminating the natural life on mass scale. But the end result of all these actions will be reducing the green globe to deserts and artificial feeds for man will have to be researched. In the end human beings will be robots or slaves of a World Dictator like HIRNAKASHYAPU father of Great Bhakta Prahlad. The choice is yours whether you and your progeny want to live the future life of independence or slavery under a new Dictator of the World.History repeats itself. We all may not be falling prey to the circumstances which we are creating ourself and fulfilling our ego, (AHANKARA) or misconceptions blindly following the traditional way of life depicted in some religious books which may be good during the period they were written or propagated but in todays context and cirmcumstances dont stand any truth. Sanatan Hindu Dharma and Hindu Philosophy of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakan makes it pertinent to follow the path of Vegetarianism except where the survival is at stake. Hence it is responsibility of the present society to popularise with patience amongst the world citizens that Vegetarianism is a great answer to the various problems of the world, such as expansion of the deserts, global warming,shortage of Drinking water etc. that are some of the important issues before us.
