I have a close friend who is a (was a) Hindu. Surely they do not eat cows because they are vegetarians, but the cows do produce milk, which they drink. 1) If the cow is dead- it no longer produces milk. 2) If the people were truely starving, they would eat the cow (if available) 3) Most of the starving children in India are in the big cities.
