Taoists realized thousands of years ago, plants of the alliaceous family did detrimental stuff to humans, Labeling onions,

garlic,
leeks, chives and spring onions as the 'five spicy-scented plants' Noticing that onions harm the lungs, garlic the heart, leeks the
spleen, chives the liver and spring onions the kidneys.
Hindus also avoid them, calling them the 'five pungent plants.' As well as producing offensive breath and body odor, they induce
aggravation, agitation, anxiety and aggression. Thus they harm physically, emotionally, and mentally.
Even garlic getting used within food in Chinas culture gets considered to harm the stomach, liver and eyes, and cause dizziness as
well and scattered energy when consuming a immoderate amount.
Jainism:
Followers of Jainism believe that all living organisms whether they are micro-organism are living and have a soul, and have one or
more senses out of five senses and they go to great lengths to minimize any harm to any living organism. Most Jains do not eat
root vegetables because they believe that root vegetables contain a lot more micro-organisms as compared to other vegetables, and
that, by eating them, violence of these micro-organisms is inevitable. So they focus on eating beans and fruits, whose cultivation
do not involve killing of a lot of micro-organisms. No products obtained from dead animals are allowed, because when living
beings die, a lot of micro-organisms (called as decomposers) will reproduce in the body which decomposes the body, and in eating
the dead bodies, violence of decomposers is inevitable. Jain monks do a lot of fasting, and when they knew that their life is very
little, they fast until death. Some particularly dedicated individuals are fruitarians. Honey is forbidden, because honey is a
collection of eggs, excreta, dead bees, and saliva of bees. Jains do not consume plant parts that grow underground such as roots
and bulbs, because tiny animals may be killed when the plants are pulled up
Sikhism:
"The tenets of Sikhism do not advocate a particular stance on either vegetarianism or the consumption of meat" eating Kutha
meat, or meat which has been obtained from animals which have been killed in a ritualistic way . This is understood to have been
for the political reason of maintaining independence from the then-new Muslim hegemony, as Muslims largely adhere to the
ritualistic halal diet " they do consume and encourage the consumption of milk, butter and cheese" "they eat meat as a result of
efforts to present a meal that is respectful of the diets of any person who would wish to dine, rather than out of dogma."
Historically and currently, those Hindus who eat meat prescribe Jhatka meat
(the holy book of Sikhs, also known as the Adi Granth) say that it is "foolish" to argue for the superiority of animal life, because
though all life is related, only human life carries more importance: "Only fools argue whether to eat meat or not. Who can define
what is meat and what is not meat? Who knows where the sin lies, being a vegetarian or a non-vegetarian?""
"Jhatka is meat from an animal which has been killed by a single strike of a sword or axe to sever the head, as opposed to
ritualistically slow slaughter (kutha) like the Jewish slaughter (shechita) or Islamic slaughter (dhabihah) "..... Hindu philosophy
views Kutha as a means of repression, and an inhumane non-Aryan way of killing animals for human consumption.
"Kutha meat is defined as "meat of animal or fowl slaughtered slowly as prescribed by Islamic law". It has been more broadly
defined as "killing an animal with a prayer", or as "a sacrifice to God", or meat prepared through "unnecessary ritualism""
