Raul attempts to justify his diet 鈥� but will the Pandit have beef with the way he eats?
In this episode, Raul weighs up the needs of the planet, the advice of the Hindu scriptures and the demands of his own stomach to figure out if it鈥檚 time to give up eating meat. He goes out for breakfast with his comedian friend Kiran Morjaria, entertains his audiences with a story about sausages and returns to the temple to chew it all over with Pandit Satish K Sharma.
As a kid, when Raul went to the school dinner hall he鈥檇 have to wear a big sticker saying NO BEEF. When he was a teenager, he smuggled meatball marinaras into the house under the cover of darkness. But now, what with climate activists making us all feel guilty, he鈥檚 starting to think that Hindus had it right all along. But if humans weren鈥檛 supposed to eat meat鈥hy do we find it so darn delicious?!
