		<description>My story is a bit different but may be relevant to someone.  I read that Adam and Eve were in a paradise and ate the fruit of the trees.  Thus man is a fruit eater.  But because of the fall into sin from eating the wrong fruit, it became necessary that we started eating roots and other produce of the field. (If you want to speculate on the science of it, something in the fruit might have created a reaction or dependency that became genetic)
I started eating fish because I was told to get more protein and omega oils in my diet, but I could easily drop it for soy.
Soy products top meat any day.  The taste can be enhanced with spices and salt (just like meat), you have no weight on your conscience, and it is less fattening.
If you do decide to change your diet, consult a dietician and go for regular check-ups to ensure that your are getting all your vitamins and minerals.</description>

		<description>Matias, concordo com você. A evolução humana vai no sentido racional e seu argumento de não matar animais é meu principal também.

Mas esse trecho do Yukteswar foi a gota d&#039;água para as idéias que já estavam me rodeando. E coloquei-o aqui porque observei que ele influenciou definitivamente diversas outras pessoas a se tornarem vegetarianas. Acho que as pessoas precisam de empurrões menos racionais e mais floreadas como essa para consolidar duas idéias racionais.

Sei lá, só sei que também fiquei com vontade de chutney de manga.</description>

		<description>Não acho que esse tipo de análise seja válida como forma de justificar o vegetarianismo. Esticando essa justificativa, teríamos de voltar à vida selvagem. E eu acredito que a decisão do vegetariano deve partir do racional.

Aliás, não acho que o vegetariano precise de muitas justificativas, acho que basta dizer &quot;sou vegetariano porque não gosto que matem vacas e porcos só pra eu falar hum, que gostoso&quot; ou &quot;sou vegetariano porque as vacas soltam pum&quot;.

Talvez essas justificativas sirvam pra ajudar pessoas a pensar, e bem, nesse caso é válida.

Bem, sei lá. Só sei que me deu vontade de chutney de manga :D</description>

		<description>We are making a slow transition into veg. eating.  First, we have started with new recipes.  Second, we changed what we purchased in the store and our last step is to be meatless in 6 months:-)</description>
