Head Chef position still male-dominated
By Carmen Lim
Round one, fight! It has been years of battle between vegetarians and meat eaters (carnivores). Even till now, this problem still exists and the only neutral people are the omnivores who do not get involved in this. The latest on this takes place at Palitana; the vegetarian town in western Indian state with vegetarians that won’t even hurt a fly. Jain monks have launched a hunger strike, threatening to fast unto death just to demand the town to be declared a vegetarian zone. This, includes eggs that should be banned and the ritual slaughter of animals, including the closure of about 260 butchers’ shops. Will local Muslims agree to this where meat and eggs play a large part of their diets? The monks have called off the hunger strike with assurances from local politicians and officials, but it is far from being resolved. How will this end?...
