How do you explain a lie?
The most authoritative Ramayana is that of Maharshi Valmiki which I read first
when I was about 10 yrs and have read several times more since then. Also I
read the Ramcharitramanas atleast once. Haven't seen one instance of Lord Ram
or Sitaji eating meat. While they were in vanavas, they only used to eat
fruits, esp. 'kandmool'. The only instances of meat eating in Ramayan are
those by the deamons or one where rishi Agasta ate a deamon (one of the two
brothers who used to cook one of his brother, feed it to holy people and that
cooked one would then reunite and come out of the person who ate him thus
killing them).
Please stop spreading such blatant lies to support your whimsical swamis.
Also, Ram/Krishna/Vishnu are God, if is foolish to try to imitate them.
