Vegetarier — warum? Becoming a vegetarian — why?

Eine Erklärung warum man Vegetarier sein sollte, hat wohl schon Albert Schweizer am Besten auf den Punkt gebracht: “Solange es Schlachthöfe gibt, wird es Schlachtfelder geben”

Darin verbergen sich grundlegende Weisheiten, dass unsere geistige Haltung maßgeblich von unseren Taten beeinflusst ist und umgekehrt.

Es gibt nur eine einzige Welt wie die unsere. In unserer ganzen Galaxie und Millionen von Sternen und Lichtjahren weit keine zweite, die mit Lebewesen bevölkert ist. Daher ist das Leben an sich besonders kostbar.

Alle Lebewesen stammen von einer Ursprungsform ab, was bedeutet, wenn man es ganz genau nimmt, dass wir uns auf bestimmte Art selbst aufessen, so wie wir jetzt handeln. Auch im übertragenen Sinne, indem wir die Ressourcen verknappen und die Umwelt massiv schädigen.

Wir haben als “Krone der Schöpfung” eine besondere Fürsorgepflicht gegenüber unseren Mitgeschöpfen und unseren eigenen Nachkommen, sowie auch unserer Umwelt gegenüber.

Wir können selbst kein Leben herstellen – noch leblose Materie beleben, umgekehrt aber leicht.

Warum also Vegetarier werden?
Man sollte Dogmen in Frage stellen: Warum essen Millionen von uns jeden Tag Tonnen von Tieren?
Ist es vielleicht falsch, etwas zu tun, was alle schon immer taten und tun?
Ist es auch richtig jemanden zu töten? Weil Krieg ist?
Haben wir Krieg mit unseren Mitgeschöpfen?
Albert Schweizer: Schlachthöfe = Schlachtfelder ?

Nicht nur das Essen von Tieren ist bei näherer Betrachtung schrecklich, mehr noch, wie sie leben müssen, weil wir sie essen wollen.
Jeder weiß das im Grunde und verdrängt es. Im letzten Quartal 2011 wurden z. B. nur in Deutschland 15,2 Millionen Schweine geschlachtet. Eine unvorstellbare Zahl. Man stelle sich vor, was das bedeutet und wie es sich anfühlt. Abgesehen davon ist das eine Zahl “nur” von Schweinen, es gibt aber auch noch Kühe, Hühner, Gänse usw…

Als „hoch entwickelte, zivilisierte” Lebensform denken und reden gar nicht gerne darüber. Wir haben es so von unseren Eltern gelernt und übernehmen es ohne es in Frage zu stellen. Wir sitzen am Tisch beim Essen — die einzige Zeit an der wir alle zusammen sind. Dabei sprechen über Frieden und moralische Grundsätze, pflegen unsere Gesprächskultur zeitgleich mit gebratenen Tierstückchen im Mund. Und erst indem es hier steht, schwarz auf weiß — fühlt es sich zunehmend beschämend an.
Doch wir können uns entscheiden anders zu leben. Das ist die gute Nachricht.

Du sollst nicht töten? Ein essentieller Leitsatz, das meint wohl auch Albert Schweizer.
Solange wir nicht verstehen, dass das was wir essen auch unsere geistige Einstellung beeinflusst und umgekehrt, werden wir uns auch selbst die Lebensgrundlage nehmen und damit auch die Lebensgrundlage für die eigene Spezies. Erst wenn wir das erkennen und anfangen, jeder für sich im Kleinen etwas zu ändern, werden sich die großen Dinge verändern und es kann in Zukunft vielleicht wirklich Frieden geben auch mit unseren Mitgeschöpfen.

Vegetarier sein ist nicht nur gesünder in jeder Hinsicht, sondern im Wesentlichen eine Geisteshaltung.

I’m 13 and I have eaten meat all my life but recently I saw this PETA thing and I feel so guilty!!! How do I convince my parents that I want to be a vegetarian? They think its just a "stage"?
The thing is that they heard this thing about how if teens dont eat meat then their brains won’t work as well and they’ll do bad in school so now they won’t listen to me
Thanks everybody for your help!!

I know where you are coming from. As long as I can recall, I wanted to go veg. My dad always told me that when I turned 15, and was responsible enough to drive, I would be responsible enough to make that decision. He, too, thought it a stage, and figured I’d have forgotten all about it by then. Well, I have not eaten a bite of meat since I was 15. I’m now 26, and am very healthy and in great shape. My doctor contributes my strong immune system and low cholesterol to my avoiding meat. In fact, more and more doctors are encouraging a meat-free diet.

I am guessing you watched "meet your meat"? Maybe you should try to get one of your parents to watch it, too. Tell them that they have taught you to be a compassionate person, and a person that has respect for life and wants to avoid causing suffering. Tell them that this is important to you. Lean a few good vegetarian recipes and offer to prepare a few meals. Help show them that this is an intelligent and health choice.

I recently became a vegetarian, and my parents are concerned about me getting enough protein in a day. I know that eggs, milk, and peanuts are all high sources of protein, but are there others? Also, I’m concerned about how many eggs I should be eating a day too, is it bad to have two eggs everyday? Are they unhealthy?
Thank-you so much for all you help!
Thanks all for your answers! Everyone’s been so helpful, than-you!

t is a myth that vegetarian diets do not have enough protein. The average person only needs about 50 grams of protein per day. Protein is in everything, just look at the side of boxes. In todays world it is very hard to be protein deficient if you are eating a wide variety and adequate calories(honestly, when was the last time you heard of someone with a protein deficiency)

High protein foods include:
soy milk, tofu, nuts(Almonds, Cashews, Filberts, Hemp Seeds, Peanuts, Pumpkin seeds, Sesame seeds, Sunflower seeds, Walnuts (black)), seeds, legumes(Garbanzo beans, Kidney beans, Lentils, Lima beans, Navy beans, Soybeans, Split peas), grains(Barley, Brown rice, Buckwheat, Millet, Oatmeal, Rye, Wheat germ, Wheat, hard red, Wild rice), vegetables(Artichokes, Beets, Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Cucumbers, Eggplant, Green peas, Green pepper, Kale, Lettuce, Mushrooms, Mustard green, Onions, Potatoes, Spinach, Tomatoes, Turnip greens, Watercress, Yams, Zucchini), fruits(Apple, Banana, Cantaloupe, Grape, Grapefruit, Honeydew melon, Orange, Papaya, Peach, Pear, Pineapple, Strawberry)

Trust me protein deficiencies are rare in the U.S and are mostly found in third world countries that suffer from famine. Spend a day keeping track of the protein you take in, and you will be surprised at just how much it is.
