If it is a vegetarian food then what will you do? Leave the bones i don't want to know about chicken bones or anything like that i want to know what will happen if this is there in the veg foods? will you be able to feel it? If you take the case of sighted people they can see before eating but for us we can only see after bringing it to our mouth . so what is your sudjestion now regarding this?
