Hey BTW God does not SEE food as Veg or Non Veg.

To God, everything created is nothing but the 5 elements.

Remember the story where a Great Swamiji(Some say it was Adi Shankara) who was once offered meat and He ate it(but didn't allow his disciples to eat meat).
So one Shisya was not happy that the Swamiji ate meat and the rest of them could not.

Swamiji sensed that and asked the Shisya "Can you eat what I eat?"

Shisya said "yes sir" with anticipation that he is going to get meat to eat.

Then the Swamiji ate Molten Nails in front of the dumbstruck Shisya.

So you see that story goes to show that we can never equate ourselves with an advanced Soul.
So how can we even think "Is God Veg or Non Veg?"

Aren't we imposing Duality and the Pairs of Opposites on God?
