Saatvic diet: what is it?
Preamble
========
This is *not* another thread on non-veg bashing. This
is about the future of saatvik aahaara for those who
believe in veg diet.
An interesting conversation i overheard
========================================
1: how can you have vegetarian food tomorrow? the
multi-nationals are not going to let genetic
engineering lie unutilized. we already have
tomatoes with alterned fish genes in them. and
it is only a matter of time that almost all
vegetables are going to have non-vegetarian content.
2: Well there will be other businessmen willing to
run comptitive products that are *natural*
1: That is illusion. just like green revolution
wiped out indegeneous varieties, the hybrid
non-veg vegetables will wipe out *natural* vegetables.
Then, even if some one sells the so-called *natural*
vegetables, they will contain some trace of non-veg
vegetables.
2: Well. that small amount of non-veg is acceptable.
even today when we shop around in super markets, we
do breath some particles of non-veg items whether
we go near them or not. we breath on footpaths
with ham-burger vendors etc everywhere. so what if
some trace of non-veg is there in comptititive *natural*
vegetables?
1: Let me ask you point blank then: if in future the
genetic engineering produces walking vegetable goats
-- goats with most of the genetic code from cauli-flower--
will you consider it a saatvik food?
Now, the questions
==================
(1) do i need to ask any *further* questlions!
(2) How do we define vegetarian saatvic diet?
(3) Is there a way to deal with the problem, since
the problem can crop up soon? (i mean, the problem of
exhausted sources of saatvic food)
