Acharya Prashant explains how to help people understand the connection between vegetarianism and veganism. He suggests a simple approach, starting with a basic question. For a vegetarian who consumes milk, one can ask about the leather shoes they are wearing. He points out the direct relationship between the glass of milk in one's hand and the leather on one's feet, as both come from the same exploited cattle. The leather is sourced from the same animal that was exploited to provide milk for as long as it could. When the animal could no longer give milk, its flesh was extracted and exported, and its skin was turned into leather. Therefore, the speaker states, the milk is the leather, and the milk is the flesh. The speaker further elaborates on the cruelty involved in the process. He describes the forcible impregnation of the female animal as something worse than rape. He also explains the fate of the calves born from this process. While a female calf might be retained, the male calf is considered of zero use and is not fed. The leather from this male calf is extraordinarily soft and, therefore, expensive. He asserts that these are not controversial opinions but matters of general knowledge that every responsible citizen should be aware of. Acharya Prashant broadens the discussion to the ecological impact, linking the dairy and meat industries to climate change and the depletion of forest cover. He states that a vast majority, around 80%, of the grains cultivated on cleared jungle land are used to feed animals destined for slaughter. The clearing of these jungles results in the loss of habitat and the extinction of numerous species, which he terms "collateral damage." He posits that the immense power of the interlinked flesh, milk, and leather industries prevents this knowledge from being included in textbooks and reaching the general public. Addressing a follow-up question on the body's compulsion for violence, he advises not to draw a fixed line but to constantly challenge and push the line set by the body. The spiritual task is to continuously strive against oneself. Regarding the dilemma of feeding meat to rescued carnivorous animals, he states that one should not domesticate such animals in the first place. For those that are rescued, vegan alternatives for essential nutrients like taurine are available. He finds it "super gross" to kill one animal, like a rabbit, to feed another, like a wolf, which belongs in its natural habitat.
