I don’t have a problem with this. People have their religious beliefs and this is what they choose to do.
Ask the hungry kids what they believe.
And he is willing to starve children to satisfy HIS religious beliefs!
You have kids on the verge of starvation. They’re getting one skimpy meal a day. Great time to start playing games based on your personal choices.
Give the kids the eggs, and STHU.
What an absolute jerk.
So you have no problem with a government official deciding what people will eat.... because that was what this story is about.
I do, a big one. Those kids are starving and last time I checked India wasn’t a theocracy. The parents should decide whether their kids are allowed to eat eggs, not some whackjob Minister. He sounds like Michelle Obama.
A significant number of Hindu teachers and practitioners eat eggs, and almost all of them say it's OK for OTHER people to eat eggs if they want to.
It's all politics: trying to force the tribals to live a vegan lifestyle even if their kids are starved for protein.
Really?
Then you'd have no objection to a muslim school principal or superintendent mandating a strict muslim diet for your children at the local public school.
Or perhaps, if your principal was a Satanist, how about forcing your children to drink the blood of a goat?
The religious belief is the officials beliefs...meanwhile, the children starve to death.
I suppose the sacred cow will come and transport them to...vegetarian heaven...or whatever.
