Greetings and blessings to you. Eat the food of the langar. The Siri Guru Granth Sahib says not to eat food that takes your attention away from meditation on God. Meat does bring your body down to to a very dense sluggish and non meditational state. Plus it gives you the consciousness of the animal which you are eating. So, the Akal Takhat says it is OK to eat meat, but it is better for you to leave it.

God bless you, SKKK
