I do...I am not religious...Muslims avoid pork for the opposite reason of why Hindus avoid beef..one thinks pigs are unclean whereas the other thinks cows are sacred.Pork, do you eat it ?
It's mostly religious reason but I don't care.
In ancient times Beef was favorite food of Brahmins and we used to say a Brahmin that doesn't eat or like beef is not a pure Brahmin.
Than something happened, death of animal sacrifice, Veda and something else came to fill the void. New gods, new books and Muripooja.
Reason for all this ? Buddhism.
Do you also avoid ox meat?(I think some Hindus eat ox but avoid cow/bull)
Doesn't Buddhism discourage all forms of carnivorous diet? Why did the avoidance of cow catch on among Brahmins whereas you eat fish and chicken.
