Two friends, who call themselves "Goat Brother" and "Chicken Brother," present a problem to Acharya Prashant. Their friendship was formed over eating goat and chicken, but after listening to Acharya Prashant's talks, their relationship is becoming strained because he advises against eating meat. One of the friends, "Chicken Brother," argues that humans are structured to eat meat, pointing to his sharp canine teeth. He questions why he would have these teeth if he were only meant to be a fruitarian. Acharya Prashant refutes this logic by highlighting its inherent flaw. He asks if the man's hands are capable of punching his friend, to which the man agrees. Acharya Prashant then explains that the validation for an action is not simply the physical ability to perform it. Just because one *can* do something does not mean one *should* do it. He points out that if the ability to act is the only justification, then one should also punch their friend, as their hands are capable of doing so. The friend then interjects that his will or choice is also a factor, which Acharya Prashant affirms is the central point. The decision to eat meat is not a matter of teeth but of will, consciousness, and discretion. He explains that animals do whatever they *can* do, but humans, possessing consciousness, should do what *ought* to be done. He uses the analogy of a dog defecating on the floor because it can, whereas a human uses a toilet out of discretion. Furthermore, Acharya Prashant dismantles the argument by explaining that the animals consumed are not naturally occurring but are artificially and cruelly bred through factory farming. He calls the argument that God created these animals for human consumption a form of superstition, stating that people are blaming God for their own actions. He clarifies that the animals people eat are often genetically modified and produced in factories, not by nature or God. He also addresses the economic and environmental impact, explaining that meat consumption is a wasteful use of resources. The animal agriculture industry consumes vast amounts of land and water and is a leading cause of climate change, biodiversity loss, and deforestation. He concludes that celebrating by killing and eating a living being is not a sign of humanity, which is defined by compassion, love, and mercy.
