In fact Buddhism is not the only religion to advocate vegetarianism. Genesis 1 ︰ 29 reads, "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."
其實主張素食的不止佛教，《聖經》創世紀一章二十九節記載：「看哪，我將遍地上一切結種子的菜蔬和一切樹上所結有核的果子，全賜給你們作食物。」
