owwwo, Brother Ujl you sound frustrated. Vedas reasoning not helping you anymore? It's a dead end, brother. It takes you nowhere. 

No matter how much we try to deny it, the ecosystem is the reality of this physical world. Metaphysical world is basically just something to talk about, big stuffs, because no one knows. 

So the eating lives of levels below in the pyramid is our reality. So just like eating rice, eating khasi is totally justified. 

About the Vedas, it's a great literature. A lot of knowledge in it. But again it's not a complete package of way of living. 

- It's not discovered by god or rishis or anyone, just human beings like you and me..but intelligent people, great thinkers.
- It cannot answer everything..So once you run to the inevitable dead-end, then people say 'ohh you need to be in higher conciousness level'. You cannot get it.
- So it is a control mechanism as well. Make people feel less of themselves when the ask question and rule them.


If you are a priest and Vedas is your livelihood, try to come to the reality. This world is fun. Really fun..it's not a dark hole as you portray.
