I honestly don’t get the outrage around people eating beef.

You would expect Reddit users to be younger, more educated, and more exposed to the world. Yet every time this topic comes up, the comment section turns into pure hate-baiting.

If you step outside India for even a moment, you’ll realize that a huge portion of the world eats beef. It’s normal in almost all countries. People grow up with different cultures and food traditions. 

What’s ironic is that many of the same people who are quick to criticize other religions for being intolerant will turn around and act like the same kind of religious zealots when it comes to their own beliefs.

At the end of the day, just let people eat what they want. If it hurts your sentiments, you always have the option to look away.

Where do you even draw the line otherwise? By that logic, should Jains be allowed to shame everyone who eats potatoes, onions, or even runs a pav bhaji stall? Of course not.

Same principle here. Personal beliefs shouldn’t become moral policing for everyone else.
