It is great that you are displaying the badge so proudly. And I hope it is not because you want cock a snook at us poor vegetarians!! 2. 0.5% of animal protein has led to mad cow disease - I am not saying so. The scientific community and other more learned people than I have said so. That was also the reason why I had included the references at the end of the article - just so that the doubting meateater(s) could be convinced. I gues you did not read them. Please do. 3. Now you say that 0.5% of animal protein in animal fodder can't be responsible for Mad cow disease, and you find the idea far fetched and downright absurd. Why? You mean 0.5% of animal protein can't do that? Any idea what is the amount that a man need to take of Cyanide to kick the bucket? Less than 150 mg! And if I take that a man consumes 2000 calories a day that corresponds to 500 gm. of carbs and 150 mg of cyanide is only 0.03% of that. Is that absurd? 4. Finally dear "meateater", you are right that none of us will be around a 100 years from now. But I reckon that the human race will be around for another 100 years? Or maybe a few 100 thousand years. Unless you and I become so selfish that we don't give a damn to what happens to the human race and to life as we know it and to the earth and blah blah blah and ensure that we do not leave anything for our future generations. 5. And absolutely the final point, I am not so ingenuous as to make cows meat eaters in 10 years. Even nature cannot do that. Evolution takes much longer than a decade. And in any case you seem to have missed the whole point of the article - we are not natural omnivores. My dear “meateater”

What do you think will happen when you put cows on a "beef only" diet??? Not only is your idea far-fetched... its downright absurd!! None of us will be around a 100 years from now... so lets see if you can accomplish this in the next 10!! That will be human ingenuity at work!! if 0.5% of animal protein in animal fodder can cause the ‘mad cow’ disease!! What do you think will happen when you put cows on a “beef only” diet???

Its all part of the game... if you don't have one profession you got to live so will search for alternative.( teaching/doing type writing works switched over to computer institutes others went back to data entry works). I am veggi by birth.. and continue to be and proud enough to say did not tasted/attempted to taste meat...( though traces of egg might entered by biscuits/Ice cream)... sure will wait for the article... that would be a eye opener for many...

And Naresh it would seem that the time I asked for - 100 thousand years - is too long! This cow must have been fed meat for a really long time. And yes, meat has become an integral part of human diet for almost 97% of the world population and it is also a source of livelihhod for millions. So does that mean we keep promoting meat eating? I don't think so. The title of my next post is going to be: If We stopped Eating Meat, We Can Feed The Univesre!! Watch out for it.
