No, it's common. People today have no idea how truly poor they eat. Modern fast food is essentially fake food paste.

  Which is a shame because you can eat so well today you can easily skip the dead animal carcass. They couldn't really do that back then in many places with short growing seasons.

    Why would you skip the dead animal? That is by far the best part of every meal. PS don’t jump into the whole animal cruelty spiel. I’m aware and I agree, it’s just that I don’t care. Vegetarian food, aside from maybe the narrow slice with how the Indians prepare it, is completely unsatisfying and I’m OK with animals suffering as long as I can continue to have meat because it’s just so delicious. That being said, I would eagerly switch to lab grown meat if they can do it correctly. Vegan food on the other hand is brain dead food. I mean that literally and metaphorically. Anecdotally every vegan I’ve met seems nutritionally deficient and slow. They also go out of their way to eat food aping meat and that stuff turns out to be the most chemically processed and unhealthy stuff you could possibly imagine.

      India is the most populous country in the world so it's hardly a "narrow slice". Anyway, Italians and Mexicans are just as good with vegetables. Even people who like steak grind some plant on it to make it taste good (pepper). Basically all interesting flavours come from plants. Meat just tastes of meat.

        Yeah but India heavily uses dairy products to make up for the taste and protein deficiency. Vegetables are goddamn delicious but in a different way. I’ll eat vegetables all day but they are not nutritious enough and “satisfying” enough to complete the meal. By the way, I’m sorry if this is all coming off pretty sharp, but I have what I think is a legitimate hate of veganism. I think it’s on par with the “health at every size” nonsense that people are trying to do where they are trying to normalize obesity. At least with them with GLP-1 they have found they don’t need to carry on with their delusion anymore, but vegans are still going strong.

          India absolutely does not "heavily" use dairy. In fact, they use very very little. Ghee is the most common dairy based item but it's only used as an oil for frying. > I’ll eat vegetables all day but they are not nutritious enough and “satisfying” enough to complete the meal. You have some weird obsession with meat. I'm not vegan nor vegetarian but eat at least half my meals without meat. There are plenty of other sources of proteins and flavour comes from all over. Vegetables absolutely are the bigger source of flavour. Onions, hot peppers, various dried spices, garlics. Food would be bland as shit without vegetables.

            Every South Indian I know has tons of yogurt with each meal.

    Oh good, the vegans are here to leave smug comments
