A lot of material on this section (FAQs) is derived also from various PETA websites such as “goveg.com”. We support most of PETA activities and ask our members and readers to help PETA
Do we support PETA?
PAVF supports PETA and appreciates the good work done by it to promote a Vegetarian lifestyle and concern for the environment and animal issues. However, we do not endorse all that PETA does including its stand against Milk consumption, its use of provocative nude models, and its focus and branding as an animal rights movement. […]
Is raw food good for health?
Raw foods meaning fresh fruits and vegetables including salads, juices, and smoothies made from dark leafy greens are an important source of nutrients and therefore must be part of every Vegetarian meal. We however do not endorse those who advocate 100 % raw food as the only source of the human diet. Excluding all forms […]
What about some Plant-based and other foods which are also fatty and bad for health.
At PAVF our mandate is to promote better and healthy foods. We are equally against excessive consumption of salt, sugar, sodium, Potato chips, soft drinks, alcoholic drinks, and other fatty foods.
What about killing animals for medicinal and other scientific research purposes
PAVF believes that such killings if done humanely and to the extent, there is no other alternative may not be unethical. Medicinal and medical use of animals could benefit the entire mankind but should be done for these limited purposes only.
In any case I can not live without meat, fish and egg.
It’s true that most meat-eaters think like that because they are grown up eating these items only and are in fact addicted to meat and meat-based foods. Most meat-eaters are unaware that an enormous number of plant-based excellent foods are available for human consumption. However, it’s profitable for the multinational food chains to serve us […]
What is wrong in eating Fish?
Fish consumption is as unethical as red meat. Fishing involves killing the fish for no valid reason. Fish is an extremely concentrated source of protein, cholesterol, and heavy metals. The smaller the fish, the more likely you are to eat the intestines and fecal material along with the animal. The bigger fish eat the smaller […]
It’s okay to eat eggs because chickens lay them naturally.
The eggs we buy in the supermarket are sterile and not unborn fetuses.” This is true, but the real cruelty of egg production lies in the treatment of the “laying hens” themselves, who are perhaps the most abused of all factory-farmed animals. Each egg from today’s factory farms represents 22 hours of misery for a […]
If you were starving on a boat at sea, and there was an animal on the boat, would you eat the animal?
I don’t know. Humans will go to extremes to save their own lives, even if it means hurting someone innocent. (People have even killed and eaten other people in such situations.) This example, however, isn’t relevant to our daily choices. For most of us, there is no emergency and no excuse to kill animals for […]
Why should vegetarians drink milk since milk is also an animal product?
Vegetarians are not against animal products but violence against innocent animals. It is possible to produce milk without harming the animal. Unlike meat, chicken, or fish, the animal is not killed during or after milking. There is nothing wrong with the human use of animals to the extent violence is not caused. The Creator has […]
