I am Ganesh, an Indian atheist and I don’t eat beef. It’s not like that I have a religious reason to do that, but after all those years seeing cows as peaceful animals and playing and growing up with them in a village, I doubt if I ever will be able to eat beef. I wasn’t raised very religious, I didn’t go to temple everyday and read Gita every evening unlike most muslims who are somewhat serious about their religion, my family has this watered down religion (which has it’s advantages).
But yeah, not eating beef is a moral issue I deal with. I mean, I don’t care that I don’t eat beef, but the fact that I eat pork and chicken but not beef seems to me to be weird. So, is there any religious practice that you guys follow to this day?
Its true eating meat is nice, but it’s terrible for the environment. At least consider eating less meet. You are lucky - there are many very tasty vegetarian Hindu meals.

Amen to very tasty vegetarian Indian meals! We have a shit ton of those and they make life worth living. Also, as I mentioned, I eat meat once/twice every month so it’s not that big of a dent on the environment. Also, I live a life devoid of luxuries which westerners take for granted, pretty sure my carbon footprint is comparitively low
Respect to you.
And yes Indian vegetarian food is awesome, and so diverse, because all of the regions all have their unique cuisine.
thank you very much!
I think you mean farming is terrible for the environment.
