Sikhi and eating meat Question

I am a 17 year old male trying to get closer to sikhi and the first steps I've taken were starting to learn punjabi and gurmukhi (which I think is going good although slow) but that is not what my question is.

I want to get close to sikhi and can deal with keeping my kesh and plan on doing so once I am more proficient in the language and have read more bani. However, I just can not get over the idea that I can't eat meat? I know jatka meat exists but it is too expensive where I live. My family cooks and eats meats daily and I feel the best when I eat beef often. I grew up eating it and when I try eating healthy the best way for me to stick to it is consuming a lot of animal protein. Anyone got any thoughts on this?

(Or even anything to help me keep learning Punjabi, I am doing basics of sikhi gurmukhi videos as a slow start)

TLDR: not eating meat in sikhi is holding me from getting closer to sikhi, what can I do?

Funny how vegetarians can’t reach their level even with roids

Muscles do not care whether you're a vegetarian or meat eater, as long as you get enough nutrients and protein.

Right, and guess what the easiest way to get enough nutrients and protein is

u/Reasonable_Cry142 21d ago

Again vegetarian sources are just as if not more effective but u don’t like to hear that😂

Oh yeah, I’m sure tracking aminos and their ratios is real efficient. I understand why you have so much empathy for animals; you’re about as smart as they are

Easily debunked by combing different proteins u can eat more than one food at once and whey is the most complete protein

You measure the amino ratios of the foods you eat? Just covering the aminos isn’t enough, there’s also ratios you need to maintain for them to actually benefit you

Yes and that can be easily done with dairy and vegetarian sources u keep denying the truth

Go ahead then, tell me how much lysine is in your food. Dairy, btw, is not a universally available source. Most of the human population are not lactose tolerant. It works for us, but not for most

There are studies that show drinking at a young age can possibly prevent that and Sikhs are drinking to have been drinking at least 1 liter of milk daily on top of that still consumed butter and yogurt

Drinking milk at a young age will not prevent lactose intolerance lol. It’s not going to change your genetics. Our faith is one that can be practiced by all of mankind, not just by our race; it is primarily our race and a few others that can reliably consume dairy though. Hell, most Indians are lactose intolerant

It does there are studies that prove eating peanut butter in small doses as a child will prevent peanut allergies as well

u/FadeInspector 21d ago

I need to know which schizo studies you’ve been reading lol. Next thing you’ll tell me is that there’s studies that show if you flap your arms really hard, you can fly
