Discussions around food, climate change, and animal ethics often become emotionally charged and narrowly focused. In particular, a large amount of energy is spent pressuring vegetarians to adopt veganism, as if this alone could meaningfully change the planet’s trajectory. But when we step back and look at the actual global data, a very different picture emerges.
Vegans always tell Jain people that in Jainism there is a concept called Vigai which tells Jain people not to eat or drink milk, curd, and ghee. But that same concept also talks about not to eat oil, sugar, and jaggery. So if Vegans have so much love about Jainism, why not they also stop eating these three things. Please write an article about this.
Vegetarians who switch to veganism often experience an unexpected decline in stamina. They start feeling tired earlier, struggle to maintain muscle mass and find themselves drained even after light activity.
instead of patting themselves on the back for convincing a Jain to switch from low-cruelty dairy to zero-cruelty dairy, activists should focus on converting the massive majority who consume dairy, meat, fish, eggs, leather, silk, honey, and pharmaceuticals all at once.

Many people feel that JITO works more like a private club for the super-rich and VVIPs. Over time, the organization has built an image of focusing mainly on big industrialists, business tycoons, and large corporate families. Its events and programs often seem designed for them, while ordinary Jain professionals, start-ups, and small or medium business owners don’t get the same importance or opportunities.
For vegans seeking to deepen their moral commitment, Jainism offers a beautiful path of enhanced compassion, sustainability, and mindfulness. By adopting Jain principles, vegans can extend their practice of non-violence beyond food to all aspects of life. In doing so, they not only protect animals and the environment but also take steps toward inner peace and self-realization.
