if i eat chicken but no root veggies is it still jail
Quick Answer
In Jain practice, eating chicken is generally considered a violation of the principle of non-violence (ahimsa) and is not permitted, regardless of whether root vegetables are consumed. Avoiding root vegetables is a separate practice aimed at minimizing harm to plants, but it does not justify eating meat like chicken.
Detailed Answer
Jainism emphasizes strict vegetarianism as a key aspect of non-violence, which extends to avoiding all forms of animal products including meat, fish, and eggs. Consuming chicken is viewed as causing direct harm to living beings, which contradicts the Jain ethical commitment to ahimsa. Therefore, eating chicken would be considered a serious transgression within Jain ethical codes.
