Harris believes that _____________________________________________________
a. the elimination of meat-eating came about when the upper classes in India feared that there were too many people to support large herds of cattle raised solely for eating; to convince the masses not to eat cows, the upper-classes made meat-eating a sacrilege and criminal
b. we will never know why meat-eating became taboo in India; religious beliefs have existed for thousands of years and have a life of their own; they are not understandable in scientific terms
c. the elimination of meat-eating came about in a slow, practical manner; the farmers who decided not to eat their cows, who saved them for procreation to produce oxen, were the ones who survived natural disasters as they occurred over the centuries; those who ate beef lost the tools with which to farm; over a period of centuries, more and more farmers probably avoided beef until an unwritten taboo came into existence
d. the elimination of meat-eating was forced upon Indians by invading Muslims from the west and invading Goths from the north; the invaders wanted beef to ship back to their own lands, so they forced Indians to give up meat; later, this prohibition was codified into religious law
