Great Secular India Makes McDonalds go Vegetarian

[ares]

Explain what importance vegetarianism holds in Hinduism. Also explain why it holds no importance at all.

Then tell me if it is not contradictory.

Your inability to understand the meaning of the word "personal choice" is perhaps because it not offered in your religion.

No where in the Hindu text , is it written .that people should not beef or for that matter meat.
Hinduism, unlike some other religions does not put restrictions on people on what to eat and what not eat.

What kind of Hindus Are Vegetarians and which are Not Are there both, I used to wonder how KFC could earn in India if they are vegetarians? There Are Muslims who eat meat the Size of Pakistan In india and other minorities but Do Hindus also go to KFC there?

Then why the reverence for not eating meat, or cow in particular?

@OP:..... Hence Pak desided to nuke India. . . . . . .Nice way to jump ur post count.

@topic: every one here has their own choice of being a veg or non-veg. Me being a Bengali and son of two pure non-veg decided to go veg. Its my personal choice. It would be my darn wimp to eat red/white meat. And it goes for every single darn man in the country. Its u who decide wat to eat not others. As for the religion part, my signature gives u my testimony about it.

My best friend was a Jain and we always had a horrible time at McDonalds. We got laughed at the counter when he asked for no meat. They used to ask the prep team if they sell only buns ..

Jains and some Hindu and Buddhist sects are the extreme end of the other side of the food chain.

Cows are considered as a part of family owing to the fact that they are of gr8 service throught their life. Hence it would be just on our part to atleast not eat them. As a matter of fact cows or most of the farm animals are considered as a part of an extended family. The phrase "Gau-mata" is self-explanatory.

LOL at your ignorance... there is a KFC in my city and they earn a lot and always there is a long Q to get the food..but adding a Indian twist there are separate Veg & Non-Veg sections in the kitchen.

If I continue going down this conversation, it will come to religion, and I may make some insensitive remarks, so that is all I wanted to know.


I am, however getting a feeling that Indian members are not being completely genuine while answering my questions. But let's leave it.

I did not say human are carnivore, but rather I said human are predators. There is a reason why human are on top of the food chain.

Human are not on the top. they are on side of the food chain as they eat both flesh and vegetables. food chain is very vertical in nature and humans follow horizontal aspect of food chain.

 

[AnnoyingOrange]

Why Hindu rebublic? why not sikh or Jain republic. and considering even pork is not allowed, what about Islamic republic of India?

Kuch Nahi to bakwaas hi sahi....McDonald wants to penetrate Vegeterian Market in India which is huge.... and Pakistanis want to make an anti India rant out of it.

McDonald's goes vegetarian in India

In the States, going into McDonald’s as a vegetarian is usually a pretty miserable experience. Occasionally you’ll find one that serves veggie burgers but they’re usually disgusting, and there’s not much for you except the fruit plate and the ice cream (even the french fries aren’t really vegetarian).
McD’s pretty much invented the book on mass-distributed frozen death in patty form. Which makes it a symbolically potent, unexpected twist that the Golden Arches are going veg at a new store in northern India.
As BBC points out, “Religiously observant Hindus see cows as sacred and avoid beef, while Muslims view pigs as unclean and avoid pork.” The vegetarian McAloo Tikki burger, on the other hand, is a win all around, accounting for 25% of sales at McD’s 271 stores in India.
The all-veg McDonald’s will open up shop near a temple in the Sikh holy city of Amritsar. Meat is not allowed at the temple, and the region has many vegetarians.
BBC notes “Rajesh Kumar Maini told the news agency: ‘There is a big opportunity for vegetarian restaurants as many Indians are vegetarian.’” McD’s is already planning their second all-vegetarian location.
Indians take their vegetarianism seriously. The rebellian against English colonialism in 1857 was largely due to the bullet casings that needed to be bitten off before going into muskets supposedly being coated with lard. Being forced to bite into pig fat was an ignominy the Indians would not endure.
In a quick 150 years Indian vegetarians have gone from callous hegemony under the world’s leading superpower to having one of the world’s most powerful corporations cater to their beliefs. Progress!

India should already declare itself a Hindu Republic...

Non-violence towards animals is the main reason other support it because of health benefits. Vaishanavite schools and Jains are strict towards being vegetarian, others are not.
