I eat beef but i don't tell my freinds to eat ...its their choice......... I never cooked beef with my roomates who didn't want to eat beef..i respect their decision of not eating and they didn't tell me i am destroying the culture...simply they used to say beef is yuk....... And i don't think anybody needs to recommend the place to eat beef who doesn't eat beef... It is catholic who donn't eat any kind of meat on friday and they put ashes on wednesday...My catholic freinds most of them don't eat any kind of meat on friday, and they eat fish ( fish is not in the catagory of meat) And about buddhist, i was surprised to see the monk of thailand eating fish and meat in the TV, i think region also plays important role what they eat on.........
