Acharya Prashant addresses the issue of politicians being seen eating meat, stating that if people were even slightly aware, a politician posting a photo of themselves eating mutton would lead to their party's downfall, with every candidate losing their deposit. He clarifies that this is not a matter of morality or religion, but of the Earth's future. He connects this to the unprecedented heatwaves, identifying them as part of a climate crisis. He asserts that the second biggest cause of this climate crisis is meat-eating. The speaker laments the lack of awareness among both politicians and the public. He says that in today's world, meat-eating is almost a crime, but neither the political space nor the public space has this consciousness. This ignorance allows politicians to act "cool" by cooking and eating meat. People in India still believe that what they eat is a personal matter and that eating vegetables is the same as eating meat. He challenges this by stating that any AI or search engine will identify the "climate crisis" as the world's biggest problem. He warns that India will be one of the most severely affected countries and that we are already in the midst of the sixth mass extinction, which is man-made (the Anthropocene). Acharya Prashant explains that the second largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, after fossil fuels, is our food choices, particularly meat and dairy. He points out that while some educated people know about vehicle emissions, very few are aware of the impact of what's on their plate. He cites Kabir Saheb, "He whose throat you cut will then cut yours," relating it to our current situation. He highlights the immense cruelty in the dairy industry, such as using oxytocin injections that cause extreme pain to animals, similar to labor pains, just to extract milk. He also discusses the devastating impact on marine life, with trillions of fish killed annually and entire ecosystems collapsing due to rising ocean temperatures and overfishing. The speaker argues that stopping these harmful industries is not just a moral issue but also an economic one. He explains the concept of a "social tragedy" where a few benefit at a great cost to the whole. He uses the analogy of a polluting generator in a neighborhood: while one person saves money, the entire community suffers from health issues, leading to a much larger collective economic loss. He suggests that the economic surplus gained from stopping these destructive practices could be used to compensate those whose livelihoods are affected. He concludes that from every angle—ethical, economic, or environmental—meat-eating is a hellish and destructive practice.
