This document provides several reasons why one should be a vegetarian. It argues that a vegetarian diet is healthier since meat can impart negative characteristics and cause diseases. It also notes the inhumane conditions of factory farming and stresses that consuming meat means ingesting fear and stress hormones from animals. Additionally, it claims humans are anatomically suited for a vegetarian diet and that spiritual texts advocate avoiding meat to respect all life. Famous figures like Gandhi, Einstein, and Shaw are quoted supporting vegetarianism for health, environmental, and ethical reasons.

1. Why You Should
Be A Vegetarian

(Singapore) & the Singapore
Lodge Theosophical Society

2. You Are What You Eat
 The physical food we eat is the physical body we become
 Occult science have proven that when flesh is assimilated
as food, it will impart the characteristics of the animal it
comes from
 Flesh food tends to increase our animal passions, making
our physical, emotional, and mental bodies coarse and
unpleasant
 A flesh diet is the cause of many diseases like cancer &
intestinal worms, and should not be a remedy to
recuperate from any illness
 If we cannot avoid eating meat at all, just avoid eating
pork, catfish, and eels as they contain very dirty reddish
energy

3. Hazards Of Eating Meat
 Most meat consumed are from defenseless animals living
in cruel, harsh & inhumane factory farm conditions
 Slaughtering is brutal, negative energies of fear, stress,
and anger torment animals in the slaughterhouse and
these are stored in their meat while they are being killed
 As we are eating dead flesh, decay starts as soon as the
animals are killed
 Apart from carcass poisoning, other toxins are produced
from the refuse matters remaining in their intestines
 Steroids & antibiotics which are given to animals for
fattening & immunisation are present in the meat we eat
 Preservatives like sodium nitrate and other chemicals
added to maintain the red colour of the meat will further
poison us

4. Why Should You Care ?
 Vegetables do not suffer pain in being used as food
 Wounds do heal more quickly and illness more readily
cured among people who do not take meat
 Our teeth are designed to grind vegetables & fruits, we
do not have sharp fangs & claws to slash & tear meat
 Like herbivores, our intestines are three times longer
compared to carnivorous, and we take about two days to
eliminate what we eat from our body
 Carnivorous have strong stomach acidity to digest meat
while our stomach acid is several times less strong
 Do not make our body into a graveyard !!! (eg. imagine
placing decaying meat at the corner of the house for 48
hours and see what happens)

5. Vegan Diet Gives Energy Too!
 We get sleepy after a heavy meal of meat dishes
compared to eating vegetables - for example, a snake
sleeps for days after eating due to the heaviness of the
meat which takes much energy to digest
 Flesh food provides protein readily, but it is also lost
very quickly and the person does not get stamina in the
long run
 For instance, herbivores like elephants & horses have
great endurance & strength than any of the flesh eating
animals
 The protein we need comes from the amino acid which in
turn, comes from the grass the cow eats, therefore we
don’t have the eat the cow just to extract the protein
that our body needs

6. Vegetarian & Spiritualism
 The scriptures of the world advocated a vegetarian diet
- ancient philosophers & religious gurus asked their
followers to avoid flesh diet to acknowledge the
sacredness of life
 A vegetarian diet is purer, healthier and better suited
to human beings as we are supposed to be light energy
beings eating only fruits & vegetables
 Our soul is the divine essence and the body its sacred
temple, hence we should only take clean food that makes
our physical body suitable for our indwelling soul
 When our soul & body are not in harmony, the soul slowly
abandons the body, and the de-spirited body suffers a
drain in life force leading to eventual disease & death

7. Why They Choose To Be One?
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress
can be judged by the way its animals are treated
- Gandhi
Nothing will benefit human health and
increase chances for survival of life on Earth
as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet
- Albert Einstein
I have found that a person does not need protein from
meat to be a successful athlete. In fact, my best year of
track competition was the first year I ate a vegan diet !
- Carl Lewis
I have lived quite long enough and am trying to die;
but I simply cannot do it. A single beef-steak would
finish me; but I cannot bring myself to swallow it
- George Bernard Shaw
