An explanation for the "vegetarian is a food preference" crowd. Sure, it is. But not when there's an issue with veg food touching non-veg food...in a box. Because that's when you say "pure." So, what purity are you talking about, hmm?
@infinitchy
More than veg/non-veg, it is whether the food is satvik or not. onions/garlics are forbidden for some people. Even those who eat them on normal days will not even touch them during vratas or important dates
@infinitchy
In my area(bengal) many lower caste people have taken initiation into vaishnavism( and prefer only sattvic food..they don't eat with meat eater people including many brahmins..now I wonder who is oppressed and who is oppressor here.
