Before people misunderstand me as racist: where I live the majority of people are white. As a result of this, I don’t have much experience with cultures that are different to mine.

They’re Gujarati-speaking people from Maharashtra, some emigrated as recently as 2 months ago and have no prior English experience. Because of this, they haven’t really been able to tell me why they don’t eat meat, and they all really dislike touching it.

However, they’re all related. None of them eat meat, they all dislike touching meat/dairy products. Is this familial or a cultural thing?

Thank you guys for taking the time to listen to me (:

Edit: I’ve seen quite a few people being a bit angry with me in the comments. I was just curious about the cultural difference and wanted to learn.

I don’t make them food, we work at a Subway-style place where we make food in front of the consumers, the majority of which start with meat
