Hey Kayz, I knew a bit about the topic, but didn't want to provide any wrong info so I did a lil' seach on the net. Here's what I found:


Some Sikhs are vegetarian, but this is personal choice. Sikhs may eat any type of meat including beef. The only food restriction for Sikhs is that they must not eat meat from an animal that has been ritually slaughtered. Examples of ritually slaughtered meat are the Muslim halal meat and Jewish kosher meat. In both cases God is invoked at the time of the animal's killing. Also, Sikhs must not eat food that has been offered to idols.

Hope that answers your question.

This is a bit off topic, but what classifies someone as a Jain?

Jo is Jain and I know he said he wasn't suppose to eat beef. I'm not sure about chickens and fish though.

basically Jains follow the teachings of 24 Thirthankars... the last one that is the 24th is Lord Mahavir and hes the main of all...and according to the beliefs of Jains the Universe was never created and never will vanish

time is jus divided into small time cycles in progression and regression....


that clears it?

So if a Jain chooses to eat meat he/she is a sinner?
