When I was a vegetarian, Indian food was my go to. Guaranteed to be vegetarian and tasty. It would even be mostly vegan but they use ghee in almost everything, so it's a big no-no for vegans unfortunately
Vegetarianism is not enough. Cows are murdered at a few hours old if they have the misfortune of being male, or unwanted "stock" if they're female. Male chicks are killed at a few hours old because they'll never produce eggs. Vegetarians preach love for animals, but they're hypocrites. dairy and eggs are so cruel.
I agree. I was vegetarian for 3-4 years and realized that if I was doing it for the animals, I couldn't keep consuming eggs and dairy, or any other animal product for that matter. Been a vegan for more than 10 years now
Ye man I could infer that from your earlier comment :D
Just a tip: I agree with everything you say, but if our goal is to change peoples' behavior, it is detrimental to call the hypocrites (and similar adjectives). That creates cognitive dissonance, and people usually double-down on their old behavior when faced with cognitive dissonance instead of changing their behavior. What I've found works best to make people go vegan is instead of calling them out on their behavior, show them positive examples of veganism, and let them do the math.
I hear you. It breaks my heart as well. Hopefully one day we will look at animal (ab)use like we look at human slavery, or other wrongdoings of the past.
Probably not that high. From experience, it’s just that you’ve been eating vegetarian food all your life, it’s really weird to eat non vegetarian. In fact, there are many of my friends who’ve turned non vegetarian due to peer pressure from their friends.
Well meat consumption is the most expensive way to get protein. Seeing as they are not a rich country, the best way to solve that problem would be to educate people on well-balanced plant-based diets.
Also, your source is a website from a foodtech and agtech industry. Not the most partial source of information.
Probably? Most can't even afford beans? Have you spent time in India at all? Well I looked it up and it's not the highest levels of food insecurity. According to the economist at least India seems to rank in the middle (of countries ranked).
they also have world’s biggest food security program. nutrition is improving and they also lifted huge percentage of their population from below poverty.
Yeah, no. 70% of Indians are non-vegetarian. Rice &/ rotis are the important part of the meal and stuff like dal & vegetable are standard being both cheaper & easier to cook. Meat, fish, eggs, etc. being more expensive are curried or fried as side-dishes to make a little go a long way.
A dish like pot roast or meat loaf would just be too expensive as main course for most. And we do love to get creative with our spices.
