Acharya Prashant addresses the misconception that eating meat, such as a goat, is a way to avoid harming plants. He calls this idea foolish, explaining that a person who eats a goat is responsible not only for the goat's death but also for the deaths of all the plants the goat was fed. These plants were cultivated and given to the goat specifically so that the human could consume it. Therefore, the meat-eater is culpable for a greater amount of violence, encompassing both the animal and the vegetation it consumed. He then counters the common argument leveled against vegetarians—that they too kill living plants. Even accepting this premise, he argues that a meat-eater's impact is far greater. A non-vegetarian is responsible for killing the animal and also for the quintals of leaves and plants that the animal ate. The goat was artificially fed these plants for the sole purpose of being eaten by a human. This makes the meat-eater indirectly responsible for a much larger scale of killing. The speaker asserts that meat-eating is the biggest problem facing the world today, and many people are unaware of this. The various crises afflicting the planet, he claims, have their root cause in meat consumption. He cites the example of deforestation, noting that every day, an area of forest equivalent to many football fields is cleared, with a significant portion being the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. He questions if people have ever thought about why these forests are being cut down. The reason for this large-scale deforestation, he explains, is to clear land for agriculture. However, this agriculture is not primarily for feeding humans directly. Instead, the crops grown are used as feed for animals in large-scale animal farms. These animals are then slaughtered, and their meat is exported, with Brazil being a major exporter. Consequently, forests are being destroyed to sustain the supply of meat for non-vegetarians. The sin of global deforestation, he argues, lies on the heads of meat-eaters. Finally, Acharya Prashant calls out the hypocrisy of those who consume meat while claiming to be concerned about the environment and forests. He labels them as hypocrites, stating that the single biggest cause of deforestation is meat-eating. He dismisses any claims of ignorance on this matter, pointing out that people are aware of countless trivial things but choose to ignore the planet's most significant problem. He suggests this willful ignorance stems from a desire to protect the pleasure of their taste buds or their religious beliefs, which would be challenged by this truth.
