my advice, since in america, u do not know if animal meat was killed non hallal or non kosher (basically animal torture) do not eat it.
However if u are nihang and u chatka on goat, and see it killed right way, then why not eat meat?
Of course, i prefer to not eat any, tatse, smell, etc. do not appeal to me |
The SGPC is the main body of the Sikhs, AKJ is not the main body for all Sikhs. The teachings of Gurmat do not say that one cannot eat meat. However it is the tradition of Jatts to not eat beef as they have cows or buffalos on their farms so they do not think it is respectful to eat beef. That is a non religous belief but a tradtion, it does not mean that Sikhs in general cannot eat beef. My opinion is that is completly wrong.
