Time to remember Einstein in Corona time
Today, Corona is a famous term all across the world. Someone calls it one of the devastating epidemics, some others call it as a reason behind the global crisis. Top world leaders are confused about what should be the next. While going through my WhatsApp statuses, suddenly the quote by Einstein shared by one of the friends really touch my heart.
"Nothing will benefit health or increase chances of survival on earth as the evolution to a vegetarian diet."
I try to analyze deep into the quote and search about the outbreak of some of the recent Pandemics such as Spanish Flu, Asian flu, Bird Flu, Swine Flu, Corona. Unfortunately, the root cause of the initial spread of each and every disease found to be some kind of non-veg food. I’m asking myself and everyone whether most of the things in the world is happening the way it is forecasted by the greatest visionary Albert Einstein. Also from research, it is found that, with the widespread adoption of veganism, it brought a smaller incremental benefit, with global food-related emissions falling by about 70% in the projections. I am not against any non-vegetarian friends. No one can change their eating habit permanently. But can we take one step forward by reducing the consumption of non-veg diet by some percentage considering the alarming situation of the earth? It might be questionable why this post is in the professional networks like LinkedIn. In the defense, I can say major decisions of the top tier organizations in the last few weeks are not based on the next-generation innovations, rather on how to face Corona in a graceful manner. Hence, I do not consider this post unrelated to a professional network.

4 年Well said. Become a vegetarian! If you must eat non-vegetarian food, seafood is relatively safe since it is furthest away from humans on an evolutionary scale. Besides, human anatomy is very similar to the anatomy of herbivores, so humans are essentially designed for consuming plant based food. No matter how tasty non-vegetarian food is, it can never integrate itself fully in the system. Eat consciously according to the needs of the body, not according to your whims.
