Stark difference between Buddhism Community
I was recommended this sub, via Vystopia, while already following r/secularbuddhism, and r/buddhism (not now). Why? Because I made a post about meat consumption justification, literally. When I saw r/buddha I was like yes because Buddha, but then saw how vegan-based it is and the important of it, and was like, wow, this is the virtual pure land. Thank you!

Was the Buddha himself Vegetarian/Vegan?
The general consensus from Buddhists on r/buddhism is that eating meat is justified in Buddhism, because /supposedly/ the Buddha said it is ok to eat meat as long as you don’t suspect it was killed specifically for you.. I am curious, did he actually say this, or is this made up? There are also some accounts that say he died from food poisoning after eating Pigs Meat. However, I have heard conflicting opinions on this and have heard that it is a mistranslation, and it was actually a “Pig-foot”, a type of Fungi. I was wondering what is the actual truth behind this. Did the Buddha eat meat?
