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!
