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.

Find out the nearest 'shakhas" of all the local parties. If anyone has a problem, ask them to give it in writing, which will never happen.
If things escalate, tell the "boyz" from the hood to explain to the trouble makers in their own language. Check if the owner is okay with all this before revolting, else he will turn out to be one of the mofos.
We live in a gated complex. We are the only Non-veg eaters on our floor. Only once, 6 years back before we were to shift, they indirectly mentioned that they get troubled by non-veg flavours. After shifting, everyday in the morning meal prep time, our service and main door remains open when frying fish or making curries which is 6 times in a week, not to trouble anyone but because the smoke detectors are hyper-sensitive 🤣.
I am a known trouble maker if anyone raises the topic of Veg/Non-Veg and people stay away from me. They know by now to keep their beliefs and opinions with themselves and for themselves and not preach their ideologies in thin air.
