Books like The Higher Taste: A Guide to Gourmet Vegetarian Cooking and a Karma-Free Diet

The recipes I've tried are good, easy and tasty, but this is not why that polite, hobo-looking Hare Krishna gave me this book. I'm not a vegetarian and this tome was obviously written to correct this. It focused my attention on the fact that we must take life and cause suffering, plant and animal, so that we can live. Whether this is bad karma, original sin or just inhumane depends on your religion but it is not 'good' in any way. Not practising a religion, I have no Jesus who'll forgive me and no Krishna to void my bad karma. I'm not yet sure what is the right path for me but I'm glad I found this book as it broadened my thinking.This book contains an introduction to Hare Krishna beliefs and practices such as karma and food offering. It contains tracts about the ethical, spiritual, physical and physiological arguments against meat eating. It has some recipes. There are many interesting things in here, but there is a lot of buncombe. This buncombe is still very interesting and entertaining though. Worth a look.
