Should we be VEGAN?|| SADHGURU answers Actress

a question just that i've had anyway like it's a good i mean okay i'm not a vegan i i should be because i have an uh chicken egg intolerance but then there's a whole different problem with vegan vegan lifestyle right not vegan lifestyle but the the the farming of the the soy and all that stuff what's what's your opinion about that say i at this point i'm pitching for soil policy in every nation i am not here to tell anybody what they should eat because people can eat what is best for them now people might have or nations or cultures might have arrived at a certain type of food because at a certain time survival was the issue when survival was the issue we made certain choices now that survival is not the issue definitely we should make wiser and better choices when i say wiser and better this is not my recommendation it's for you to experiment the food means it is the fuel for this body so if you eat something it should energize you you uh you take your car to the gas station or i take my motorcycle to the gas station if i fill the tank the motorcycle doesn't become lazy boom it'll go but right now you're putting that kind of food into the system if you put it now you have to put coffee tea coke something something one poison after another to get it going so there must be something not great about the food that we're eating so how to eat what is the ideal food for this body see food is not a philosophy food is not a religion food is a practical solution for this body in my way of looking at life see once you have come here as a human being well survival is not good enough when survival is in question well it's a big deal but once survival is taken care of it doesn't mean anything something more needs to happen maybe people have never figured out what is that something more but something more and something more needs to happen in search of that something more we're turning the planet upside down that's all that's happening in pursuit of human happiness and well-being this is happening so this aspect of what should i eat should never be approached philosophically or through religious beliefs you must experiment and see what makes you very agile and alert right now 51 million square kilometers of land is being used for agriculture on this planet out of which out of which 40 million square kilometers of land is used to raise animals and their feed please does it sink into you 77 of the agricultural lands are mainly used either for raising animals or their feet okay and leave the ecological concerns every doctor in the world is telling you with red meat your health care bills are as high as they are mainly because of what you're eating the headquarters for most of your chronic ailments is in your stomach yes it's also slowly shifting to your head that's another matter [Laughter] but most of the ailments are because of the way we are eating and what we're eating so one aspect of this is you don't have an animal at home and you are not going to slaughter it and eat fresh meat it is processed it's kept somewhere one week two weeks four weeks many of them three months later you're eating this will cause enormous amount of trouble for the human body i will not go into the details gory details of that but some other day i'll come here just to talk about food that day we will do that but i'm saying if if if if everybody consumes 50 less meat consumption 20 million square kilometers of land will be free if if if at least 40 percent of your diet comes from trees well in temperate climates you have only fruits in tropical climates we have both fruits and vegetables which come from trees so if 40 of your diet comes from trees you will see your health care bills will come down minimum by 50 to 70 percent of the nation and of the individual right now for example the most affluent nation on the planet united states spends 3.2 or 3.25 trillion trillion dollars as healthcare for 350 million people india's economy is not it that much it's somewhere close to that but for 1.3 billion people so why is it see affluence means this why does an individual person seek affluence or why does the society seek affluence initially it is a question of nourishment so let us say you're earning only 10 euros per day i know you don't but i'm just saying you're earning 10 euros per day and you're eating just whatever meagerly means that were there then your dream is if i earn 20 euros per day i can eat better this is an aspiration within the human being so initially it is a question of better nourishment later it is a question of variety of lifestyles that people choose this is why affluence is sought after both by individuals societies and nations so the most affluent nation on the planet which has a whole variety of choices of nourishment and enormous choices about lifestyle spends 3.25 trillion dollars on health care for 350 million people that is a statement on what you're eating [Applause]
