Inside Everyday Ahimsa Ahimsa and Vegetarianism Volume XIII, No. 3 February 2007 Everyday Ahimsa by Nischala Joy Devi II.35 Embracing reverence and love for all (Ahimsa) we experience oneness. —Patanjali Ahimsa gives brilliance to the Yamas. Sanctifying every moment of the day with reverence and love, the other four Yamas easily integrate into our lives. The practice of Ahimsa transports us to Golden Age (Sat Yuga) awareness, where the entire world of people, animals, plants and inanimate objects is our family and friends, and ultimately we are one. As babies, we see the world through pure hearts and open eyes. We live the purity of Ahimsa, experiencing oneness with everyone and everything. With the development of the mind’s ability to discriminate, differences emerge. We must then be constantly reminded that even though people and things appear to be different, in our essence we are all the same. Embracing the great virtue of Ahimsa brings the Ahimsa and Vegetarianism knowledge that each of us feels pain, joy, disappointment, love—the full spectrum of emotions. We develop an by Sri Swami Satchidananda empathy with others, and our individual experience becomes the experience of all. Many people are concerned about the violence in our society and about the threat that violence poses to the As we open our hearts, Ahimsa elegantly beams reverence very existence of our planet. Our meat diet is part of that and love to the many facets of our life. We accept the violence. We should think about such things and about importance of respecting all, even those who threaten or adopting a policy of ahimsa. harm us physically or emotionally.

In his book The Practice of Ayurveda Sri Swami Sivanandaji wrote “Ayurveda is a perfect science of life and consists of a body of most remarkable knowledge on human health and longevity. Ayurveda gives life which is the basis of all enjoyments, study, meditation and Yoga Sadhana.” Sri Gurudev also praised the benefits of Ayurveda: “Ayurvedic treatment is a type of rejuvenation. You feel happy and healthy. Who will not want to have that? You go there as an old person and come out as a young person. It’s a complete overhaul. Just like the car—you take the car for an overhaul and tune-up. Every area is touched upon: body, mind and spirit.” This summer Integral Yoga is introducing a new Yoga and Ayurveda Teacher Training Program for Yoga teachers and serious students who want to incorporate Ayurveda into their classes, private consultations and personal practice. The program will present a special “integrated Yoga and Ayurveda therapy,” showing how to use all eight limbs of classical Yoga for healing both body and mind.

  • Derogatory Discourses of Veganism and the Reproduction of Speciesism in UK 1 National Newspapers Bjos 1348 134..152
    The British Journal of Sociology 2011 Volume 62 Issue 1 Vegaphobia: derogatory discourses of veganism and the reproduction of speciesism in UK 1 national newspapers bjos_1348 134..152 Matthew Cole and Karen Morgan Abstract This paper critically examines discourses of veganism in UK national newspapers in 2007. In setting parameters for what can and cannot easily be discussed, domi- nant discourses also help frame understanding. Discourses relating to veganism are therefore presented as contravening commonsense, because they fall outside readily understood meat-eating discourses. Newspapers tend to discredit veganism through ridicule, or as being difficult or impossible to maintain in practice. Vegans are variously stereotyped as ascetics, faddists, sentimentalists, or in some cases, hostile extremists. The overall effect is of a derogatory portrayal of vegans and veganism that we interpret as ‘vegaphobia’. We interpret derogatory discourses of veganism in UK national newspapers as evidence of the cultural reproduction of speciesism, through which veganism is dissociated from its connection with debates concerning nonhuman animals’ rights or liberation. This is problematic in three, interrelated, respects. First, it empirically misrepresents the experience of veganism, and thereby marginalizes vegans. Second, it perpetuates a moral injury to omnivorous readers who are not presented with the opportunity to understand veganism and the challenge to speciesism that it contains. Third, and most seri- ously, it obscures and thereby reproduces

  • Vegetarianism and World Peace and Justice
    Visit the Triangle-Wide calendar of peace events, www.trianglevegsociety.org/peacecalendar VVeeggeettaarriiaanniissmm,, WWoorrlldd PPeeaaccee,, aanndd JJuussttiiccee By moving toward vegetarianism, can we help avoid some of the reasons for fighting? We find ourselves in a world of conflict and war. Why do people fight? Some conflict is driven by a desire to impose a value system, some by intolerance, and some by pure greed and quest for power. The struggle to obtain resources to support life is another important source of conflict; all creatures have a drive to live and sustain themselves. In 1980, Richard J. Barnet, director of the Institute for Policy Studies, warned that by the end of the 20th century, anger and despair of hungry people could lead to terrorist acts and economic class war [Staten Island Advance, Susan Fogy, July 14, 1980, p.1]. Developed nations are the largest polluters in the world; according to Mother Jones (March/April 1997, http://www. motherjones.com/mother_jones/MA97/hawken2.html), for example, Americans, “have the largest material requirements in the world ... each directly or indirectly [using] an average of 125 pounds of material every day ... Americans waste more than 1 million pounds per person per year ... less than 5 percent of the total waste ... gets recycled”. In the US, we make up 6% of the world's population, but consume 30% of its resources [http://www.enough.org.uk/enough02.htm]. Relatively affluent countries are 15% of the world’s population, but consume 73% of the world’s output, while 78% of the world, in developing nations, consume 16% of the output [The New Field Guide to the U.

  • The Sexual Politics of Meat by Carol J. Adams
    THE SEXUAL POLITICS OF MEAT A FEMINISTVEGETARIAN CRITICAL THEORY Praise for The Sexual Politics of Meat and Carol J. Adams “A clearheaded scholar joins the ideas of two movements—vegetari- anism and feminism—and turns them into a single coherent and moral theory. Her argument is rational and persuasive. New ground—whole acres of it—is broken by Adams.” —Colman McCarthy, Washington Post Book World “Th e Sexual Politics of Meat examines the historical, gender, race, and class implications of meat culture, and makes the links between the prac tice of butchering/eating animals and the maintenance of male domi nance. Read this powerful new book and you may well become a vegetarian.” —Ms. “Adams’s work will almost surely become a ‘bible’ for feminist and pro gressive animal rights activists. Depiction of animal exploita- tion as one manifestation of a brutal patriarchal culture has been explored in two [of her] books, Th e Sexual Politics of Meat and Neither Man nor Beast: Feminism and the Defense of Animals. Adams argues that factory farming is part of a whole culture of oppression and insti- tutionalized violence. Th e treatment of animals as objects is parallel to and associated with patriarchal society’s objectifi cation of women, blacks, and other minorities in order to routinely exploit them. Adams excels in constructing unexpected juxtapositions by using the language of one kind of relationship to illuminate another. Employing poetic rather than rhetorical techniques, Adams makes powerful connec- tions that encourage readers to draw their own conclusions.” —Choice “A dynamic contribution toward creating a feminist/animal rights theory.” —Animals’ Agenda “A cohesive, passionate case linking meat-eating to the oppression of animals and women .

  • PRIMARY MESSAGE APPEAL, ATTITUDE, and DIET by NATHAN
    PRIMARY MESSAGE APPEAL, ATTITUDE, AND DIET by NATHAN SADORUS B.A., University of Colorado Colorado Springs, 2017 A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Colorado Colorado Springs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Communication 2017 © 2017 NATHAN SADORUS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii This thesis for the Master of Arts degree by Nathan Sadorus has been approved for the Department of Communication by Carmen Stavrositu, Chair George Cheney Maja Krakowiak Date:___12/11/17______ iii Sadorus, Nathan (M.A., Communication) Primary Message Appeal, Attitude, and Diet Thesis directed by Associate Professor Carmen Stavrositu. ABSTRACT This study examined two different appeals (rational vs. emotional) in the format of two short documentary clips aimed at influencing viewers to adopt a plant-based diet. Participants (N = 127) viewed one of two 2-minute documentary clips that explain the health benefits of adopting a plant-based diet from either a rational appeal based on scientific facts delivered by credible sources or from an emotional appeal of a personal testimonial where the speaker is overcome with emotion about the personal benefits experienced from her adoption of a plant-based diet. Participants viewed each clip and then rated the clip on perceived argument strength and attitude toward the message measures. The manipulation check of each appeal showed that each appeal was statistically significant. Therefore, the manipulation used in this study was effective. Findings indicate that neither message produced significant attitude favorability or perceived argument strength differences. An additional measure, Need for Cognition (NFC), was included to discover if people categorized as high NFC (N = 45) and low NFC (N = 33) favor one appeal over the other.

  • Reasonable Humans and Animals: an Argument for Vegetarianism
    BETWEEN THE SPECIES Issue VIII August 2008 www.cla.calpoly.edu/bts/ Reasonable Humans and Animals: An Argument for Vegetarianism Nathan Nobis Philosophy Department Morehouse College, Atlanta, GA USA www.NathanNobis.com [email protected] “It is easy for us to criticize the prejudices of our grandfathers, from which our fathers freed themselves. It is more difficult to distance ourselves from our own views, so that we can dispassionately search for prejudices among the beliefs and values we hold.” - Peter Singer “It's a matter of taking the side of the weak against the strong, something the best people have always done.” - Harriet Beecher Stowe In my experience of teaching philosophy, ethics and logic courses, I have found that no topic brings out the rational and emotional best and worst in people than ethical questions about the treatment of animals. This is not surprising since, unlike questions about social policy, generally about what other people should do, moral questions about animals are personal. As philosopher Peter Singer has observed, “For most human beings, especially in modern urban and suburban communities, the most direct form of contact with non-human animals is at mealtimes: we eat Between the Species, VIII, August 2008, cla.calpoly.edu/bts/ 1 them.”1 For most of us, then, our own daily behaviors and choices are challenged when we reflect on the reasons given to think that change is needed in our treatment of, and attitudes toward, animals. That the issue is personal presents unique challenges, and great opportunities, for intellectual and moral progress. Here I present some of the reasons given for and against taking animals seriously and reflect on the role of reason in our lives.

  • The Moral Standing of Animals: Towards a Psychology of Speciesism
    The Moral Standing of Animals: Towards a Psychology of Speciesism Journal of Personality and Social Psychology Lucius Caviola, Jim A.C. Everett, and Nadira S. Faber University of Oxford We introduce and investigate the philosophical concept of ‘speciesism’ — the assignment of different moral worth based on species membership — as a psychological construct. In five studies, using both general population samples online and student samples, we show that speciesism is a measurable, stable construct with high interpersonal differences, that goes along with a cluster of other forms of prejudice, and is able to predict real-world decision- making and behavior. In Study 1 we present the development and empirical validation of a theoretically driven Speciesism Scale, which captures individual differences in speciesist attitudes. In Study 2, we show high test-retest reliability of the scale over a period of four weeks, suggesting that speciesism is stable over time. In Study 3, we present positive correlations between speciesism and prejudicial attitudes such as racism, sexism, homophobia, along with ideological constructs associated with prejudice such as social dominance orientation, system justification, and right-wing authoritarianism. These results suggest that similar mechanisms might underlie both speciesism and other well-researched forms of prejudice. Finally, in Studies 4 and 5, we demonstrate that speciesism is able to predict prosociality towards animals (both in the context of charitable donations and time investment) and behavioral food choices above and beyond existing related constructs. Importantly, our studies show that people morally value individuals of certain species less than others even when beliefs about intelligence and sentience are accounted for.

  • Chapter 15 – Environmental Ethics General Overview
    Chapter 15 – Environmental Ethics General Overview In this final chapter our obligations to the larger non-human community and the rights that that community may have are explored, especially practices involving animals whether it be for food, sport, amusement, etc. What justifies our treatment of animals in this regard since many of our practices involve inflicting pain, injury and death? Are animals simply inferior to humans – like sticks and stones as Plato said, or soulless machines according to Descartes- such that the pain we inflict requires little or no justification? How important is the possession of reason? Are we separate from and superior to nature or inextricably bound to it? Appropriately, this final chapter raises again some of the hardest questions of moral philosophy. Class Suggestions There are numerous exercises that you might get students to engage in here for this topic. One popular scenario is to get students to imagine they have landed on a new planet with all kinds of things that they don’t recognize flying, crawling and swimming. Some creatures appear to be very intelligent. Their food supplies have run out and desperation will soon set in. They will have to decide what they can eat and what they can’t. What criteria do they use? This kind of activity will bring out assumptions that are often hidden, perhaps by the fact that animals seem to be almost invisibly embedded in every part of our lives and that their use is taken for granted. Other activities might include getting students to work out a hierarchy of animals based on categories like ‘Kill /destroy it because it interferes with your quality of life’ or ‘Own it or deprive it of its freedom without any reason’, ‘Perform harmful experiments on it’, etc.

Interface: a journal for and about social movements Article Volume 4 (2): 438 - 458 (November 2012) Wrenn, Abolitionist Animal Rights Abolitionist animal rights: critical comparisons and challenges within the animal rights movement Corey Wrenn Abstract The abolitionist movement is an emergent and radical approach to nonhuman animal rights. Calling for a complete cessation in nonhuman animal use through the abolishing of property status for nonhuman animals and an adoption of veganism and nonviolence, this approach stands in stark contrast to mainstream approaches such as humane production and welfare reform. This paper describes the goals and stances of abolitionism; the basic debate between abolitionism and other nonhuman animal rights movements; and the current state, challenges, and future prospects for abolitionism. It is argued that abolitionism, as developed by Francione, is the only morally consistent approach for taking the interests of nonhuman animals seriously.

Introduction 2. Food Safety and Various Eating Patterns 3. Plant-Based Dietary Patterns and Physiological Health Promotion 4. Plant-Only Diets and Health Risk Control 5. Dietary Guidelines for Vegetarians 6. Divergence in Values About Eating Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketch Summary Interest in a healthy lifestyle and different dietary practices that promote health continues at the same time as ecological and environmental concerns increase. Vegetarianism includes a wide variety of eating patterns, and today there is a widespread dissemination of information demonstrating that appropriately planned plant-rich omnivorous diets and plant-based lacto-vegetarian and semivegetarian diets are equally successful in promoting health. Plant-only diets without nutrient fortification do not promote health, because they do not necessarily supply adequate amounts of energy and essential nutrients such as vitamin B-12, vitamin D, calcium, and iron. Further studies are needed on the effects of plant-only diets on health, especially those diets given to children. The positive physiological health consequences of vegetarian diets include the high body antioxidant capacity of dietary antioxidants such as vitamin C, E, and beta-carotene, avoidance of overweight, low blood pressure and low serum glucose and cholesterol levels, and positively changed microflora in the colon. Epidemiological studies indicate vegetarians have lower morbidity and mortality rates from severalUNESCO chronic degenerative diseases – than EOLSS do nonvegetarians.
