Not surprised. Vegetarianism has been the default in India for ages.
They’ve greatly explored the spice palette and can make pretty much anything taste amazing.
EDIT: some clarification. I did not mean to imply that majority of Indians are vegetarian. No. Majority do eat meat.
But in most parts of India they do not eat meat on a daily basis. It’s typically a once a week kind of thing. And yes, I’ve observed this among friends and colleagues from practically all parts of India. Even the most fierce non-veg fiends will typically do a weekend bash, but eat regular roti sabzi, dal chawal rest of the week.
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.
I merely said that vegetarianism was the default. I’m not saying that majority are vegetarians.
What i meant was that most families do not eat meat on a daily basis. And not because they can’t afford it. Most average families eat chicken once a week, while the rest of the week is all vegetarian food.
All what i said still stands. Even though 70% of people do eat meat, they don’t do so on a daily basis.
Source: am Indian, with dozens of friends and colleagues who do eat meat. They do not eat meat daily.
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.
And the moon was 17 times closer to the Earth than it is now! You’d have needed air tanks and maybe a full environmental suit to appreciate it for more than a few seconds though.
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.
Really wish that each til title encapsulated a full thought or fact instead of just straight up linking to the Wikipedia page without giving me the cruz of the fact in the title. It’s a tease and I don’t like it.
Also the link goes to the Wikipedia page insert of the section on the page. So when I followed the link I could not find the relevant section before my interest wained.
You mean "…it took me to the part on sound-absorbing tiles, which made me wonder how much neoprene compresses underwater, so I had to look up the formula for…"<7 hours later, you wrote your above post>
Their dietary and exercise regimen is hardcore. These guys are built as all hell underneath the fat. I’ve been following Sumo for ten or so years and I am constantly astonished by the raw fucking power the rikishi bring to the dohyo, especially at the sekitori level. These guys are absolute beasts.
