Why Vegetarianism Is Controversial In Tibet?

Nyangshem Gyal

 

During these years, there has been a lot of fuss in Tibet about a movement to stopeating meat. While vegetarianism may be appropriate for others, in a barren land of high mountains, where oxygen is scarce, conditions for livelihood are poor, and there are no vegetables, while yak and sheep meat are considered the best, this is more harmful than beneficial for the masses of Tibetan farmers and pastoralists who have to rely on their physical strength to do their work.
