Did the Buddha ever preach such nonsense. It is up to the individual to decide what the eat and drink. Could this be a violation if human rights?

True Darwin. Human has a brain to think and decide that's where Humans and Animal differ!. Everyone has a right to buy drinks and foods when ever they want.
