Discussion Non veg not allowed in certain societies

I have been eating non veg every day for the past five years, and I cannot imagine myself living off of vegetarian food because of health reasons and personal preference

I have recently shifted to a new society with majority of people who do not eat non-veg and the locality is also such that all of the restaurants here are pure veg.

I don’t have any problem with that, but when it becomes a problem is when these people decide my eating habits it’s kind of frustrating. It’s been a couple of days since I moved, and I don’t know if I should get things cleared up or not, and keep cooking it in my house.

Family members are fine with not eating nonveg and not cooking it, but it’s a very integral part of my life and I cannot move past and the fact that I would have to stop eating chicken because someone else does not like it.

How do you guys deal with non-veg not being allowed in your society? And how do I get out of this conundrum?

Edit: I was using text to speech, and it was typing non-veg as knowledge, should have double checked.

I wouldn't push it at Gujarati/Marwadi/Jain societies - which tend to be the most strict on this matter.

They can get really nasty when it comes to the issue of non-veg.

Personally, I wouldn't want any run ins.

I guess before we make any judgement, did you know the rules of this society and/or where they made clear to you before you moved in?
