Mansion Bans Meat

A vegetarian Australian billionaire has banned workers building his $63 million mega-mansion from eating meat at the construction site.

Pankaj and Radhika Oswal’s mansion in Perth’s exclusive Peppermint Grove suburb, when completed in 2011, will be the largest in the country. Radhika Oswal said, “I’m putting my money where my mouth is. I’ve always been a vegetarian so I have always felt strongly about it.”

An Australian government official denounced the ban as “absolutely wrong … she’s telling them what they’re going to eat . . . it’s wrong.”

The Perth Times reported that, according to one source some workers still ate meat on the site “just to spite them.”
