"One has got to choose between the two evils, also between the lesser of the two evils in the matter of food, and therefore vegetarian food has got to he taken by man in order to sustain human life"

In this quote, Morarji Desai is highlighting the difficult decision that individuals need to make when it pertains to their food options. He suggests that there are two evils, or unfavorable alternatives, that a person must select in between. This could refer to the choice between unhealthy and healthy food alternatives, or possibly between food that is harmful to animals and food that is not. Desai then goes on to say that even within these 2 evils, there is a lower one that must be picked. He argues that in order to sustain human life, it is necessary for people to pick vegetarian food. This might be viewed as a require people to prioritize their health and the well-being of animals over convenience or taste preferences.
