Jainism

I like about their diet but it feels a little out of place they still consume milk and derivatives
Perhaps only local small farm production (given they live in a third world shithole)

>Jainism

Is that the extreme version of buddhism?

>>2346351
it came before buddhism brah

Someone give me a quick rundown on Jainism. How is it different from buddhism?

>>2346344
Jains don't take lab grown supplements like you western hipster vegans and so require animal products to fulfill adequate nutritional requirements.

>>2346447
Still, they won't even eat root vegetables because plucking them might kill underground critters
But they still eat animal products? Doesn't make much sense to me

>>2346467
what happens if they accidentally step on a bug

I think a lot of Jains are actually pretty rich and live luxuriously. It's mostly just the monks who go around naked and can't step on bugs etc.

What's the problem with it? Eating eggs and drinking milk doesn't hurt the animal in the slightest if you treat them well.

>>2346517
They don't consume eggs and if they wait for cows to give birth for their protein intake its almost the same as nothing
Unless they, well, have intensive production like western hipsters do

>>2346441
They're divided into two sects: shirts versus skins.

>jains don't live in cities.
>jains don't buy food from the market because everyone in India is a subsistence farmer and call center operative.

>>2346552
the jain community has plenty of traders, so in real functioning society they buy milk from the market and eat non tuber vegetarian food.

Jains own the gemstone mining industry in most of india + pakistan
