There have been thousands of years that have passed and man has evolved in his eating habits from then to now, for one meat is no more used as a divine offering(prasadam). While there are some Brahmins who have opted to go for meat, a majority of them still stick to vegetarian diet.
OT: Eating habits are a very personal thing and should not be a discussion point, but what do I know. ;/
Actually, no. Those were agrarian times.
My response was to the OP claiming eating meat is not Indian. I'm stating eating meat is very much an Indian tradition, including for brahmans.
What you said in fact supports it. Eating habits of a society evolve. Part of the evolution seems to be a return to eating meat. So?
