Why do people consider the dog to be their "friend", and kill and eat their"mother" the cow ?
According to Vedic culture, the cow is one of seven sacred mothers, including, Mother Earth, our birth Mother, the Nurse, etc.... WIth a cow, and an acre of land, one can live self-sufficintly, off the grid, and not have to participate in the madness of consumerism, the exploitation and death of citizens of other countries for their resources. Cow dung has a higher combustibility than wood or coal, used as a free and natural fuel, from milk, butter cheese, yogurt, can be produced for valuable nutritional content. Clarified butter is an amazing medicine that has been used in Ayurvedic natural healing for millenia to cure everything from a coma, to blindness. Considering all of these contributions, how can people be so brain dead to think that the dog is a better friend than the cow ? People in China are looked down upon as heartless to eat their dogs, yet in many other parts of the world we think it is "normal" to kill and eat the cow ??!?!?!

As far as I'm concerned, if you're going to eat meat, then all meat is the same. I'm a vegetarian, so I stay away from it all. I also agree with your reasoning, and I cook with ghee (clarified butter) often.

My mother was human. Beef tastes really good, and some people are allergic to milk/dairy. I am Extremely lactose intolerant, and cuold potentially die from too much lactose. I would try dog, if anyone around here would let their pooch be broiled. We're all different. Nutritionists say all this about variety, and the right balance. I understand in some cultures, every meal includes yams. What do they have to say about that? You eat what your culture allows, and what you decide is good for yourself. Otherwise you are miserable. I prefer not to be miserable.

First, most people don't know the values of the cow. Second, most people aren't part of the "Vedic" culture, and do not recognize the cow as one of any "seven mothers". We're part of the typical American culture that sees the cow as a hamburger, meatloaf, steak, stew, etc. This same culture sees dogs as pets and cows as a food source. Do you know how much you offend those people who worship veggies?
