The percentage of red meat eaters though if they did a research will be lower as thats really restricted to lamb/goat/pork..some fringe beef but limited. Even most Iyer/Iyengar/Saiva Vellalar friends I know converted in no-veg in college lol. Veggies simply can't survive here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in India, I didnt feel like eating non veg for 2 years. People craving for meat in India , I feel they crave for the cuisine, the base , the masala, the veg food you get in India is equally palatable as the meat alternative. It's like a style statement if you eat meat in India. Many vegetarian parents but their children eat meat outside. Whereas, if you are outside India, and are vegetarian there, most likely you will stay vegetarian for rest of life. As the curiosity factor is gone.

nikred Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Agree, I was one of those who became non veg in NA due to being lazy and tired of looking for veg food. Back in India, I didnt feel like eating non veg for 2 years. People craving for meat in India , I feel they crave for the cuisine, the base , the masala, the veg food you get in India is equally palatable as the meat alternative.When I craved for meat, I craved only for meat. Not the masala base and stuff. I craved for the feeling of that texture in my mouth, the flavor of it's juices. No veggie can replace that.

zen Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Veggie always Now a days my traveling has increased. Last month traveled for 2 weeks on the west coast (Seattle, SFC, Sacramento area, LA, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary and Winnipeg). This month, I will be in Europe (Ger, Czech, Hungary and Holland) for 2 weeks. Finding veggie items can be hard in some restaurants but usually there is always something in the menu to get you through the day! Many times, I get asked questions about being a vegetarian (like have always been one, how do I get my proteins, etc) by those having lunch / dinner with me. Many have said they would give a shot at becoming vegetarians too MechEng and randomGuy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veggies simply can't survive here I don't understand why NVs take such pride when they coerce/convert a Veg friend to eat NV. They are like love-jihadis who think it is their stairway to heaven when they get one to convert. What's the deal with that? (all tongue-in-cheek :-)) Am one of those who got converted, btw!

That is there, but 100-200 gm per week is still a significant amount imo. the deficiency doesn't have to do with non-veg./veg. Eastern India, where everybody is a non-veg. eater has greatest percentage of anemic women https://m.timesofindia.com/india/59-Indian-women-are-anaemic-Study/articleshow/46589333.cms And most of your wrestlers, kabaddi players etc. come from vegetarian part of the country.
