That’s a 101kg ball of karma right there!
*sigh*… the things that people do for achieving their 1 page of fame.

Just my views, thoughts, rants on all things in life
Yes, very sorry indeed.
I’m alive. I didn’t go into the making of that ball!
What is wrong about it?
Anyways it did go to a good cause:
//Mr Mitnitsky’s record-breaking meatball was later donated to the Friendly Kitchen in Concord to feed the hungry.
Also, myself a vegetarian, I recently discovered Maneka Gandhi is a fool. She preaches that adults do not need milk. For her mumbling majesty’s kind information, milk is the only source of B12 Vitamin for those who do not eat meat/fish/eggs. Plant sources cannot provide vitamin B12 to humans
Yes I suffered from B12 deficiency. Its true that I have been taking very little milk in past 2 years. Though not due to urging by Maneka Gandhi.
As far as I know, laws of karma take in to account the intent too. The actual intent was to get some stupid record… and hence the bad karma.
Milk doesn’t fall in the category as non-vegetarian… many people will say it is not vegetarian either.
I tend to go with the fact that we don’t ‘kill’ any living thing for the milk.
You eat wheat right? Or maybe more of rice if you are from south. And of course, lentils. And yeah not to forget vegetables! Just look how many seeds a tomato has!
Well, each grain, if you hadn’t gobbled it up, could have become a whole new plant!
Thus when non vegetarians kill one chicken/pig/goat/whatever, at east two or more people eat by killing one living being. But when one vegetarians sits for a meal, he kills at least a few hundred lives!!!!
Its not even normal killing, its like child killing, infanticide or foeticide. Those poor little things hadn’t even begun a proper life yet and along came Ambi and…Ouch! What about your bad karma in that?
Its food chain and food pyramid buddy! Anyways, people make records for big dosai, big puri, big roti, big pizza, etc. This is just like that! (They killed so many poor little seeds in the process! Oh my!)
P.S.:
1) I am a vegetarian.
2) ‘Karma’ is junk. Otherwise a wonderful soul like me would have been having time of my life right now
Hey, BTW, can bad ‘karma’ of Indians be responsible for poor record of scientific inventions. After all we drove those poor British rulers away isn’t it? We deprived them of their free plundering. Such ‘paapi’ people we are aren’t we
‘Karma’, ‘Paap’, all LOL stuff! Anyways I don’t need such concepts to be good. Its quite natural even without.
Since you state that you don’t need such stuff to be ‘Good’, what standard do you follow? Or are you one of those people who believe in moral relativism?
Even if we go by your logic (which I don’t agree fully, but not going to get in to a debate on this), the conclusion is wrong. For every kilogram of goat or chicken or whatever meat, the animal has to be fed fodder that is several times its weight (which again comes as plants, seeds what not). So, sum it up, hmm?
“Karma is junk…”, “‘Karma’, ‘Paap’, all LOL stuff! Anyways I don’t need such concepts to be good. Its quite natural even without.”
You have every right to have your ‘opinion’.
It is childish to consider that our actions will not be met with any kind of reaction. Modern science says it is one of Newton’s laws, and applicable only to gross matter. The Vedas (and many ancient texts all over the world) term it as Karma and applicable to subtle matter too.
Again, this is the beauty of perspective. How do you define or know what is good?
