What is Osho's perspective on eating meat?

Life eats life; the true ideal of no killing will arise through science, not sermons. Until then, eat consciously and minimize harm without hypocrisy.

— Osho
According to Osho, meat-eating is not a moral issue but a fact of survival: life eats life. With today’s population, strict vegetarianism would mean mass starvation; even milk is “non‑vegetarian,” and fasting consumes one’s own flesh. The true ideal—no killing—will come only through science (synthetic foods), not sermons. Until then, eat consciously, minimize harm, and drop hypocritical absolutism.

For now, living means eating other life, so be honest and gentle with your food choices, and trust science may one day let us eat without killing.
