Why I chose Non-Vegetarian food.

The consumption of raw or cooked meat is not solely based on flavour, but also on the underlying rationale that the world presents to us.

Carnivores prey on other organisms in order to consume their flesh. Consequently, it is inherent in our nature to engage in killing for sustenance. There is no moral wrongdoing in rationalising the act of taking the lives of animals solely for the purpose of consumption. Flesh can also be considered a type of sustenance.
How does the act of consuming food become morally wrong?

I am willing to offer myself as sustenance if necessary, but, the issue is in the experience of pain. The human body is equipped with the sensation of pain by nature as a means of safeguarding us from mortal harm. This is a rationale for why nature desires our continued connection to this planet. Pain is an essential component in the struggle for survival. Without experiencing pain, there will be no progress or improvement.

In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna advised Arjuna to engage in meditation while seated on a deer skin, as it is considered the most optimal method of meditation for a yogi. Utilising deer skin now entails the act of hunting deer for the purpose of obtaining their skin. Is that not considered a sin? It is not so for Lord Krishna. Krishna stated that he is the ultimate cause of every action, and so, you are only a tool or instrument through which he operates.

In Ayurveda, the consumption of cow's flesh is recommended for the treatment of diseases or ailments. Cow meat is effective in treating dry cough, fatigue, excessive hunger, intermittent fevers, emaciation, and other ailments. Evidently, the consumption of beef has been observed to have a significant impact on both its culinary uses and its potential for treating various ailments. How can the act of consuming food be considered a sin? Despite its therapeutic properties for treating illnesses.
When deciding to consume meat, it is advisable to avoid attempting to demonstrate that it is a sinful act. Food is a necessity for both pleasure and survival, and it is unfair to hold anyone accountable for consuming it.
