New website for vegan teens in India

John Abraham

PETA India has just launched petaDishoom.com, a website targeting Indian tweens, teens, and twenty-somethings. Of course Pamela Anderson is featured, but bollywood celebrites like John Abraham are there working their sexiness for the animals too.

  I am a Vegetarian By Choice, like many others on this beautiful planet. However, my reasons for being vegetarian have nothing to do with religion or compassion for animals. Well, I love animals but that I do not think is good enough reason to be a vegetarian. I love plants equally well and if love for animals would make me shun meat, then love for plants should make me shun veggies. And then what would I eat?
  
  I think we vegetarian have to adopt another approach to get meat eaters give up meat - and that approach is environment. One must be a vegetarian for environmental reasons. Human beings were not designed to eat meat. And in their quest to eat meat, they are screwing up the environment and we will one day end up as fossils just as the great dinosaurs did more than 100 million years ago.

  Being vegetarian is also very environment friendly. There is a brilliant article Cattle Population Needed To Sustain Meat Eating By Humans which tries to calculate the number of cows needed if all meat eaters in the world ony ate beef. And the number is huge and scary.
  
  It is worth a read.

  PETA dishoom and PETA India are both shady..they were promoting this website oin their fb page(http://www.petadishoom.com/yourlife/hot_spots.asp) which has McDonalds Vegan burgers - so i said why the eff would we want to promote anything mcdonalds does - & they deleted the comment! (Subway & McDOnalds are trendy?!)It would be understandable if PETA in the western world was trying to persuade people to go vegetarian first and then make the jump to veganism but PETA India promoting just vegetarianism when half a billion there already are is just setting the bar low and retarded!

  2 The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands. 3 Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.
