Sheetal Parmar asks if it's disrespectful to eat meat around fasting vegetarians.

Sheetal Parmar asks if it's disrespectful to eat meat around fasting vegetarians. Plus, a guest panel is in the studio to play Guess the Story.

At 1, Sheetal Parnar sits in the hotseat and asks Is it disrespectful to meat around fasting vegetarians?

So many of you will be seeing your families over the next few days. One of the team is spending time with her parents - her mum's fasting - it's an auspicious day for Hindus - and they're planning on going to a restaurant tonight. But her mum has asked everyone NOT to eat meat - she thinks it's disrespectful to eat meat in front of someone who's fasting for religious reasons. Do you agree? Are vegetarians very demanding? Is it fair to keep your bacon sarnies away from herbivores?

At 2, We have a guest panel in the studio and we want them and you, the listener, to play Guess the Story. 
All you have to do is guess the clues to the news stories and tell me what you think they are.
