Its Saturday that most of the Hindus don't eat any kind of meat, not only beef. Infact, strict followers of Hinduism should not eat meat at all through out their lives. But, as it is in all religions, people don't follow religious rules strictly. Still there are good number of Hindus(even in US) who don't either eat meat or drink alcohol. : : That way, the government can have detailed records of your religious : beliefs, so they can legislate them to thier heart's content. : : (Please, I am only illustrating a point!) : : : -- : | Shane Wm.
