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.
