Sounds like a good reason not to be a Brahmin. 

Or a Jain for that matter.

Let me add, for the benefit of those outside India especially the West. 

Traditionally Brahmins not only do not eat meat, but do not eat eggs and 
are 
teetotalers. Also, meat, eggs, and alcohol are not allowed in their homes. 

I have known Brahmin families who emigrated and settled in the USA who 
follow this practice even today.
