Helen Keller said the following and it's become a favourite saying of mine and in the context of this discussion, it explains how I and others feel:

"I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything but still I can do something, and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do."

non-veg consumes ten times more resources than vegetarianism consumes. according to one estimate, a single chicken eat nearly 20 kg of cereals before becoming an adult..and this adult later become a meal of max 2-3 person..

What if that ''non-veg'' only consumes worms from the garden?

Cows are supposed to eat grass, not grains. Its really a shame to feed them grains. Raising cows naturally works great in a natural farming system.

Natural organic growing of crops also involves the killing of many gophers, rabbits, etc. in order to grow plants for people to eat. Conventional farming involves the use of pesticides which kills insects. No matter what, there is going to be death involved in the food that humans eat. It takes death to give life.

Enough grain is squandered every day in raising American livestock for meat to provide every human being on earth with two loaves of bread
