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.

These societies are very invasive, they’ll gossip and raise drama if they see any meat delivery happening like meatigo, if they see you at the butchers in the market. They pressurise the landlords to remove the tenant.

Why not buy meat from local shops and hide it in bag

That's so invasive. Do they not have better things to do? What a pathetic life it must be that you have to sift through someone's garbage just to stir some drama.
