- hackernewds 4y agoAnd the vegetarian / vegan food in India is fantastic!
- coldtea 4y agoA lot of them because they are making a virtue out of necessity (vegeterian food being cheaper). The cultural aspects on top are the dressing.
- delta_p_delta_x 4y ago> vegeterian food being cheaper This is how it should be everywhere. Non-vegetarian food is massively subsidised in the West. A Big Mac ought to cost tens of dollars, not five.
