Do eateries need to promote being #pureveg and, by doing so, do they uphold #casteist ideas and practices? Or is the word “pure” most likely just a replacement for the word “only”? What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments. 
On January 16, 2023, Twitter user @hoopoe_is_here tweeted that the term “pure veg” used by food outlets to describe the type of cuisine they offer is both “offensive” and “un-inclusive.”
She elaborated that to classify one type of food preference as “pure” carried the implication that other types of food preferences are “impure.”This implication, in turn, legitimises “the discrimination against people with diverse preferences.”
