      Since pork steaks originated in our town they have made some inroads into other states, but many of these people do not know what a "pork steak" is. I feel sorry for them.  Pork steaks at this abode and ribs too and maybe beef steak.

                         Ok-- there may be some sense in that-- but isn't gas kind of spiritual? Sorry, no disrespect meant.
                         
                         I guess a truly spiritual seeker would eschew (not chew) anything that might be disruptive and distracting to the purest quest, and eat only the simplest of foods necessary for life.
                         Which make me think of Moses in the desert, hearing complaints from the people for the lack of leeks and onions that they had in Egypt

You do grasp a lot and yes I feel self preservation(i.e.,of us humans) is the first rule in Hinduism with the least adverse impact on the plants, animals and the general environment around us hence Hinduism doesn't condemn meat eating unlike Jainism (which is much stricter).

I am not sure exactly but they say only food offered to God as prasad/offering should be consumed by the practitioners (and onion/garlic are in the excluded list that can be offered).
