Acharya Prashant explains that the center of modern man is the intellect, unlike animals who are centered in nature and saints who are centered in the soul. He argues that since humans have already moved away from a natural state by living in houses, wearing clothes, and using technology, the argument that veganism is 'unnatural' is invalid. He suggests that the same intellect used to build civilizations should be used to create non-exploitative sources of essential nutrients like protein and vitamin B12 through industrial means, rather than relying on animal exploitation.
