Hypocrites!

I recently went to a lunch with some people I know. It was a restaurant that served both vegetarian food and meat. I am a veggie and I don't generally like to eat in a place that serves both kinds of food if I can help it, but I didn't want to be rude so I went along. As we started deciding what to order, it occurred to one of us to find out how many of us were veggies and how many were not. Turned out three of us were all-time veggies and one didn't want to eat it because he was not supposed to for a few months. At this, another guy said that he refrained from eating meat on certain days of the week because it was considered inauspicious. This made me mad. I mean, if meat was inauspicious on certain days, then what made it suitable for consumption on the other days? Either it is okay to eat it or it is not okay to eat it. I hate this damn hypocrisy!
