<p><b>New page</b></p><div>=== Beef taboo ===<br />
The beef taboo is fairly widespread in Myanmar, particularly in the Buddhist community. In Myanmar, beef is typically obtained from cattle that are slaughtered at the end of their working lives (16 years of age) or from sick animals. Cattle is rarely raised for meat; 58% of cattle in the country is used for draught animal power. Few people eat beef, and there is a general dislike of beef (especially among the [[Bamar]] and [[Burmese Chinese]]), although it is more commonly eaten in regional cuisines, particularly those of ethnic minorities like the [[Kachin people|Kachin]]. Buddhists, when giving up meat during the Buddhist ([[Vassa]]) or [[Uposatha]] days, will forego beef first. Butchers tend to be Muslim because of the Buddhist doctrine of [[ahimsa]] (no harm).</div>FuzzyBot
