Every religion appears to have its ideological divisions. There are the Protestants and the Catholics. The Shiites and the Sunnis. And then the... Vegetarian and Non-Vegetarian Hindus.
For a lot of Hindus, eating meat is a form a rebellion. It is almost like how binge drinking and doing hardcore drugs is to the rest of the world. And when I visit vegetarian relatives, it is guaranteed within a few minutes that I'd be asked point blank if I eat meat or not and if I say yes, they proceed to run to the store to stock up on the various frozen meat entrees as if I'm some animal flesh addict that can't go a day without. Sure I enjoy a chicken leg now and then, or maybe a few nibbles of wings at Hooters. Should that automatically make me a protein feasting whore as well as a raging lesbian to boot?
I love how all these so-called non-veg Hindus brag that they eat meat as if they're really cool or manly or something. They often times proceed to argue that it is important to eat meat for that extra protein in your diet. Last time I've ever heard of anyone in this world - both developing and developed - die of a protein deficiency is well, never. So just admit it like I openly do. You eat it because it tastes good. It's like heroin but legal and comes at a cheaper price for larger portions and its consumption is unnecessary for human survival. End of story. Ok, now time for Turkey.
