It is time for a change, and that change starts with your decision about your own life. Additional thoughts on the matter can be found in my article, "Universal Brotherhood Includes the Animals."You can also read and save these short articles for yourself or for sending to others: "The Dangers of Meat" is another thought provoking article which is the review of a PBS Frontline Documentary on the increasing hazards in consuming meat.

Why Be a Vegan/Vegetarian, a quick review to the benefits of a vegetarian diet.

Common Ingredients and Chemicals that May Contain Meat Products is a list of often used food additives and preservatives, or Natural Flavorings that may be made from meat derivatives. Do Vegetarians Get Enough Protein? This is a question that often comes up and this information should be able to settle the issue in favor of vegetarians. BBC Says World Must Eat Less Meat explains how the world would benefit from eating more vegetables, and the disadvantages of the meat diet. Beyond Vegetarianism shows how we become free from the karma of using plants in food preparations, and how the plants used in the preparations also make spiritual progress by offering them first to the Lord to become Prasadam, which becomes the perfect yoga diet without karma that helps spiritualize our consciousness. COOKBOOKS AND RECIPES http://www.webcom.com/ara/col/books/VEG/ht -- This link takes you to the website of the book "The Higher Taste". It offers purely vegetarian recipes of a wide variety, particularly those of India, that can be printed for your use. They are easy to follow and excellent for nutritional value as well as for the spiritual path. They are sattvic recipes, meaning ingredients in the mode of goodness, and do not contain any garlic or onions, which some people feel are rajasic, or passionate. You will also find articles on the nutritional and environmental benefits of a vegetarian diet, and how such a diet is especially important for a spiritual and karma-free lifestyle. "Great Vegetarian Dishes" is one of the cookbooks by Kurma Dasa. He has produced others, plus several videos on cooking, which are all excellent. It is nearly 300 pages long. It contains 240 easy and nutritious recipes from around the world, and advice on how to prepare meals with a spiritual consciousness. To more easily view it over the web, we have divided it into the following sections available through these links: 1 [Introduction, Spiritual Advice, and Rice and Soups], 2 [Breads and Vegetables], 3 [Salads and Chutneys], 4 [Savories and Grain Dishes], 5 [Beans and Legumes], 6 [Dips, Sauces and Dressings], 7 [Sweets and Deserts], 8 [Drinks and Meal Suggestions]. Go through it and copy the recipes you like, or download them to an empty floppy disk or your hard drive. If you like the recipes, then consider buying the printed edition which includes the beautiful photographs as well. This edition was downloaded from the website http://freeprabhupadabooks.tripod.com. For those who observe the day called Ekadasi, here is a cookbook with a collection of 49 preparations of all kinds, such as vegetable preps, chutnies, curries, paneer (cheese) preps, lassis, and more, all without grains or beans. Check it out online at: Ekadasi Recipes Cookbook. Here is another little cookbook of eleven vegetarian sweets from the various states of India. They are great preps if you want to try something different, called: Diwali Sweets. Here is another traditional cookbook I call an "Old Time Hare Krishna Cookbook". This features some of the original vegetarian recipes from the old days of the Hare Krishna movement. Another cookbook that you may like is "Vasti's Online Indian Vegetarian Cookbook." You can find it at this website: http://www.geocities.com/NapaValley/Vineyard/2378//page1.html. Here is a most comprehensive cookbook called "Food for Peace" by Rambhoru devi dasi. It contains all kinds of breads, salads, vegetable preps, drinks, savories, and lots more, plus articles on vegetarianism. You can find it at http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Courtyard/8761/index.html. Two more online cookbooks that you can look over or print for your immediate use include "A Taste of Vitality" and "Desserts of Vitality". These offer purely vegan recipes with no dairy or wheat ingredients. More people are taking to the vegan diet, so this will accommodate them. Some of these, however, use garlic and onions which some people who follow the sattvic diet may object to using. Therefore, I recommend excluding or substituting such ingredients with asafoetida (hing), or something similar if you prefer. Any experienced cook can use these recipes with their own imagination to make them in a way more to their liking. Otherwise, these are good recipes and informative books. Your can find these at: http://www.vitalita.com/cookbooks.html. Or you can go right to the PDF versions (if you have Adobe Acrobat reader) at the following sites: http://www.vitalita.com/docs/ATasteOfVitality.pdf and http://www.vitalita.com/docs/DessertsOfVitality.pdf. In the words of George Bernard Shaw:We are living graves of murdered beastsSlaughtered to satisfy our appetites.We never pause to wonder at our feasts,If animals like men could possibly have rights. We pray on Sunday that we may have light,To guide our footsteps on the paths we tread.We are sick of war, we do not want to fight,And we gorge ourselves upon the dead. Like Carrion Crows we live and feed on meat,Regardless of the suffering and painWe cause by doing so, in this we treat,Defenseless animals for sport or gain - How can we hope in this world to attainThe peace we say we are so anxious for,We pray for it o'er hetacomba of slain,To God while outraging the moral law,Thus cruelty begets the offspring --- WAR ! The Prayer of Fellowship of Life "Our God our Father, we thank Thee for the wonder and beauty of Thy creation. Forgive us, we pray that we have taken it all for granted and have ruthlessly and selfishly exploited it in so many ways contrary to Thy will."In particular we pray for the animals and birds, sharers with us in Thy creation, that are powerless to protect themselves from the terror and anguish of slaughterhouses and vivisection laboratories, and those that die cruel and often lingering deaths so that we may wear their skins. Let us cease to turn deaf ears to their cries and teach us how to live our lives mercifully and justly so that our love for Thee will be mirrored by our love for all Thy creation."ADDITIONAL WEB SITE RESOURCESVegetarian Recipes, Animal-free Food Products, Information on Benefits of the Vegetarian Diet, and more.

  Egg is classed as liquid flesh and also the crulty the chickens suffer for their eggs..Check out this video on YouTube:
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=embnwQ7ohTc&feature=youtube_gdat...
  
  Dairy products try and avoid as much as possible as the cows are not treated properly and looked after properly .. There are hardly any love, compassion, vibes so the milk they produce is also of low quality.
  
  If I for example are nasty, mean and aggressive to you and then I ask you to cook a meal for me .. your meal will have low vibes and be of hate, anger and fear quality ...so it is the same with Cows
