For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: airline stops serving beef to placate Hindus (paragraph breaks removed):

British Airways has taken beef off the menu for economy passengers amid concerns about its "religious restrictions". The airline has instead switched to a fish pie or chicken dish option for the so-called "cattle class" passengers. BA's second-biggest long-haul market is to India, where the majority Hindu population do not eat beef because of their beliefs.

What do you think about this kind of "religious correctness"?
