Millions and millions of people in this world eat non veg food . Some eat for taste , some eat because tradition and weather condition of the part of the world they live and some eat because they have no choice other than this .
I used to eat non veg food in the past and liked it also . But five years back I stopped eating non veg food . why ? Because while discussing with some one about it , the person said some thing and that has shaken me from inside. what did he say ? He said " please don’t eat living things who is someone's father or mother or son , who bleeds when slashed " .
At that time I did not take that seriously but after going home at night thoughts about his talk kept coming to my mind. For 1 week this process continued . I am gonna narrate all those thoughts here , who motivated me for giving up non veg food.
what is the difference between man and animal ? Animals have head , legs ,hands, ears , eyes ect. Blood circulates in their bodies like us , they also have bones and muscles , inner organs are also like us , they give birth , take care of their babies , they also have feelings , they also love and have sex . Though they don’t have the society but many live in groups . So what is the difference then ?
The main difference is intelligence . So should we eat mad man who is considered as good as an animal ?
These were the thoughts . I stopped eating non veg food for 5 years now . I dont feel a bit that some thing is missing in my life. more over I found from the news papers , Health programs, talk shows on T.V. that being a vegetarian you can avoid so many diseases one of them is bird flu.
One more reason , I am not sure about its truthfulness. I have read some where that , animals like lion , tiger ect who eats meat , nature has given them a small size of intestine where humans and other animals who eats vegetables and fruit , have long intestine because non-veg stuff takes little time to digest compare to vegetables , grains and fruit .
These are my thoughts and my perception. All kind of thoughts , suggestions
and remarks are very wel-come.

Nice thought.....
Non-veg people may argue that even trees have feelings, they can be happy by listening a nice music and having a love effect too. It is prooved now. If you love trees and talk with them, the colour and taste of their fruits will be different.
But again, many arguments in this blog are really true.
I also prefer veg. food.
Actually, veg. food is also preferred because of it's effect on our mentality. Non veg. food will make us aggressive and veg. food will make us passionate. Aggressiveness creats vibrations in our mind, which kills our concentration and unbalance our mind. "Balance of mind is required in every moment for our and our society's better growth". In veg. food also, Garlic, Chilly, etc. have a same mental effect like non veg. food. This is the reason why it's prohibited in Jain religion. Let's know that Sh.Mahavir Swami's forefather was Sh.Kashyap, who was also a scientist. Just because Jain religion gives more importance to mental power and control, the food is selected accordingly.
Well.....we have to remember that only a food selection is not the base of our mentality.....there are many other things we have to consider.
