Diversity Q & A

Does your culture or religion influence the way you feel about food?

I have not been exposed to any particular teachings about food, but there are different views about what a Hindu diet should consist of.  There are some sections of Hinduism that believe that vegetarianism is required and some that go even further and do not eat any form of animal products at all – no dairy, cheese milk etc.  Overall, Hinduism teaches us not to be greedy and take what you need only.
