On the other hand, they are indoctrinated at a young age to not eat meat (and to look down upon those that do).
- danans 10y agoI would also add that the majority of Indians are not vegetarian, especially in the south and east: http://m.huffingtonpost.in/2016/06/14/how-india-eats_n_10434374.html http://m.huffingtonpost.in/2016/06/14/how-india-eats_n_10434...
- calvinbhai 10y agoNot necessarily. There's so much variety in india wrt nutritious and tasty vegetarian and vegan foods, indoctrinitaion is tougher. The only non Indian cuisines that have some veggie options are probably Ethiopian and Mediterranean. But I haven't seen many varieties of those in US. Meat eating is expensive (comparatively) and hence it's an another great barrier for many people to try. I'm so pro veggie food even after consuming dairy products, chicken,eggs and occasional beef and pork. That's primarily because I grew up in India and I believe veggie food in India is way better than any other non meat cuisine.
- armandososa 10y agoThis. Eating indian food is the only time I don't miss meat. There's delicious (authentic) meat-less Mexican food too, but it is so freaking high on carbs that I just can't.
