Property owners have every right to ask such questions. But then, are these questions being asked from a very purist perspective of disrupting the sanctity of property by cooking 'non-veg'? Does property ownership make us conservative or is it the trends in society that add to the conservativeness? I am asking myself all these questions. There are also fundamental issues of freedom of choice that I feel are involved here. In some cases, I feel scared to even say my name because the moment people hear my name, they say no non-veg when in reality I am vegetarian for health purposes and because of my political problem with the poultry industry which is very unhealthy. Processed/factory meat is as terrible as pesticide laden vegetables!
