Ever been to India? I have. It bloody PONGS there in spite quite a few
people being vegetarians. I would suspect hygiene has a bit more to do
with it than diet.

The writers have ignored the fact that cooked meat has other
ingredients which affect the body odour. For example the scientists
have found that adding coriander (Cillantro) has effect on the body
odour of a non-vegetarian. Garlic cannot be called a non-vegetarian
item but it produces bad body odurs.

In the olden days many people did not take meat only because they were
against taking a life just for the pleasure of enjoying tasty food.
They considered it a sort of violence to kill an animal for their food
when other vegetarian food was available to sustain life. .

That might make sense if a person hunts or fishes for his meat,
but it certainly makes no sense in regards to farm animals.

It is said that in the past there was the practice of using perfume
to mask the body odours in some communities worldwide. Why then single
out the vedic rishis by changing the name of the topic, that too
without substantiating. Any ulterior motive?
