A lot of things offends me as a vegetarian
First, explaining people that me being a vegetarian has nothing to do with religion or caste. Somehow every time I tell people that i am vegetarian people assume that I am vegetarian because of being a Vaishnava or puritan Hindu or because I am a Brahmin. I tell them I am a Hindu and a Brahmin but the reason I don't eat non vegetarian is because I don't like it. I can't stand the smell of non vegetarian. Doesn't mean i abhor people who eat non vegetarian. I cook nom veg for my wife who is an avid non vegetarian but I don't feel like eating it. There is no concept of purity involved here.
Second thing, I don't like people eating my share of food. I am a foody and I like my good very well. But whenever you are with people and they order non vegetarian food, it is customary for them to have a slice of the vegetarian food just for tasting knowing very well that we won't eat their food. There is nothing wrong in non vegetarians to eat vegetarian food (nobody can be fully non- vegetarian) but I also don't like them encroaching them our food. If you are so much intersted in trying vegetarian please order it please don't reduce our portion size.
I also get offended by vegetarians taking a moral high ground for eating vegetarian food. I don't think there is anything great about vegetarianism (you still drink milk, eat roots by uprooting them, use dairy products) and even if you are ea perfect vegan it is your choice to eat or not eat something, there is absolutely no necessity to make it an ethical debate about moral superiority. Khana hai Khao warna mat Khao. Don't question what others are eating at their personal level
At the same time I am also against people using God and religion to sacrifice animals. When I was young my village used to have these big pujas where many thousands of goats and sheeps were sacrificed to the goddesses. No these people didn't sacrificed them directly but rather they used to put garland on the goat, apply vermillion and haldi and threw rice on them. As soon as they titled their head they were sacrificed as they claimed that by tilting their head the goats are giving their acceptance to be sacrificed to the gods!! Similar mumbo jumbo narratives are used to justify sacrifice animals. I don't know which God asks for sacrifice of their one children from another!! If you want to ki*l animals, have the audacity to say that we are doing for our own pleasure don't use the name of God for that.
