Jainism thought is focused on nonviolence of all kinds. For this reason, all Jains are vegetarians. Jains are also prohibited from eating honey, alcohol, root vegetables, eggplant and even some fruits. The reason for this is their belief that some living thing (even microscopic organisms) may live in these foods. Jains also boil their water to make sure that there are no living organisms in it before they drink.
There are minor dietary variations between different sects of Jainism. Check your local library for more information!

Why don't jainisms eat meat?
Because they love life all life Answer: Buddhists are not all vegetarians. In some countries such as Tibet where there was not a lot of food Buddhists ate meat regularly. In addition if a Buddhist is offered any type of food he is required to eat it. The Buddha himself supposedly dies after eating tainted pork offered to him. He is constrained however from eatin the flesh of raptors and carnivores. He cannot require that an animal be slaughtered for his meal.
