My partner was quite taken with Buddhism after we went to a Buddha's birthday event, but in the end was concerned that he might feel pressured to give up sausages. People find spiritual fulfilment in different places, and he reckons agnosticism gives him more freedom to look for it in bangers and mash.
Hmm. I lived in Buddhist country (Theravada) for a while. Sausage-type food was definitely not an issue. Those folks ate anything (and a lot of their "anythings" were remarkably tasty). Perhaps the local Buddhists he met had their own ideas? Sometimes westerners who go Buddhist can be somewhat, ahem, enthusiastic in their approach.
