Do Sikhs eat meat?

There are no restrictions against eating meat in Sikhism. One small exception is that Sikhs are not supposed to eat food offered to God. As in any other religion, there are Sikhs who choose to be vegetarian.

I get how those people may be part of a different sect of Sikhism. But i wouldnt say "thats not sikhism" or "They are not sikhs" cuz they sure believe they are sikhs :P.

Im wondering whats there justification for that?

This is an age old practise followed by Khatris or warriors section of the old Hindu society. Its basically applying Tilsk on the shsatars. The local resident Sikhs at Hazoor Sahib are from the families of army men of GGS jee and are basically Khatris and hence this act. this has nothing to do with the Sikhism . For more clarifications, their is a thread on this topic at SPN. Pl read that too.

Well some sikhs say that you just cant eat meat that has been sacrificed in the name of god (hlal or kosher for example) but even in that case. Not only is this meat... but it seems like its meat sacrificed in the name of god

. Its like twice as bad >.<

Regarding the main topic of this thread whether Sikhs eat meat.

Sir, the basic classification of meat has been clarified by Guru Sahib in the shabad "Only the fools wrengle over the flush". Its better to go thro the thread posted by S. Randip Singh with the same title . first.
