FOOD HABITS OF JAINS



When I recently went to Jakarta, I found my co-passenger ask for Jain meal.  It is something strange hence I surfed through net and found the following are Jain's food habits.

If we ate we can lead a healthy life.  If you can kindly follow... 
JAINS ARE VEGETARIANS.
WE EAT VEGETABLES, SQUASH, BEANS, PEAS, TOMATOES, FRUITS, AND LETTUCE.

JAINS ALSO DO NOT EAT CHICKEN, EGGS, TURKEYS, OR ANY POULTRY ITEMS.
JAINS ALSO DO NOT EAT FISH, LOBSTERS, OYSTERS, OR ANY KIND OF SEAFOOD.
JAINS RESPECT EVERY LIFE.
JAINS AVOID FOOD PRODUCTS WHICH INVOLVE INJURY TO ANY LIFE.
JAINS TRY TO MINIMIZE VIOLENCE EVEN TO PLANTS;
THEREFORE, JAINS AVOID EATING ROOT VEGETABLES, SUCH AS ONIONS, GARLIC, BEETS, CARROTS, AND POTATOES.
