"I am a strict non-vegetarian and nobody told me what to eat or what not", Information and Broadcasting minister M Venkaiah Naidu today said, stressing that food is a personal choice, amid a raging debate on beef ban in the country.

Without naming any channel, Naidu alleged that some of the news broadcasters are showing debates on the "non-existing beef ban". He said they are holding discussions on whether India is going to be converted into a vegetarian country.

"I am a strict non-vegetarian and nobody told me what to eat and what not to eat. There is so much misinformation. Food is a personal choice. Why is there a debate?" he asked.
