That is false. Fetuses do not have a choice of what they can eat. They must consume whatever the mother eats.

Well, I may say "eat me" all the time but that doesn't mean that I actually think you have a fundamental right to do so.

Side: no

No ! There is no one that can tell me what to eat or what not to eat ! When did eating become a fundamental right is the question !

Side: no

You just said no you don't have the right to choose what to eat because no one can tell you what to eat. Good job.

Side: yes

Where might eating be a fundamental right ? Can you show that ?

Side: no

If you believe that no one can tell you what to eat or not to eat, then you support the view that you have a right to choose what you eat.

Where is eating a fundamental right ? I would like to see where that right is located ?

No right is "fundamental" because no right is inherent or essential. Rights are a function of power; we have them only if we have the power to assert them or incidentally benefit from someone else's exercise of power to that end.

Side: no

Under prevailing rights narratives one might argue that a right to abstain from eating certain food is protected under religious narratives in the proposed circumstance. There is nothing "fundamental" about that narrative or reasoning, however.

I have a question to ask you, do you support Congress or the BJP? If you support the BJP, you will understand why this law was created. No where does it say you can't eat beef, it just says cows will not be killed in the state of Maharashtra. Cows are an important part of Indian life and if they are killed to be used as meat, millions of poor people will have no milk to drink. Cows already provide food, and if you want Beef you can get it from elsewhere but you can't take cows from a greedy farmer. That farmer is usually the only farmer in the village and the milk his cows produce support the entire community. The right to choose what to eat is a fundamental right, but that is not what India's beef issue takes away. It prevents greedy farmers and corporations from murdering cows, and starving people, so some rich person can get his meat hundreds of kilometers away.

Side: no
