          I've been vegetarian for a week now, trying it for a month to see how it goes.
          Have to say, I do feel a lot less bloated than I used to, although my farts are even stinkier than before
          Still eating cheese and eggs though!

            Huh?! Some of those are animal products, but what's the problem with onions and garlic?

              Onions and garlic are actually symbiotic organisms. There is a little creature, actually a type of earthworm that lives just under the bulb.
              The worm extracts nutrients from the soil for the onion/garlic and in return gets a sugary treat.
              Pulling up the onion or garlic results in the worm dying

                Strict Buddhists, Buddhists are vegetarian anyway, dont eat onions or garlic as they are classed as pungent foods that incite lust or rage when eaten.

                The Surangama Sutra says: "All living creatures seek the 'three kinds of wisdom,' and should refrain from eating the 'five pungent.' These five pungent foods create lust when eaten cooked, and rage when eaten raw." It goes on to say that "Even if someone can recite twelve sutras from memory, the gods of the ten heavens will all disdain him if he eats pungent foods in this world, because of his strong odor and uncleanliness, and will give distance themselves far from him." This means that pungent foods arouse lust, and give one an explosive temper and one's body a bad odor. These foods are unclean, and if a person's body and mind are not clean, how can he succeed at purifying himself through Buddhism?
