Many Indians turning to meat as their wallets grow fatter

[farhan_9909]

What is the per capita meat consumption of India?is it higher than bangladesh?

Is a majority of India non-veg? - The Times of India

according to this 2006 report India was 64% non veg at that time......i am quite sure that percentage has increased now

 

[angeldude13]

I guess vegetarian Indians are a minority now.

There are also many who are turning veg. This veg to non veg and non veg to veg movement is there all over the world. Does not necessarily mean Indians having more money are non veg - just that they are curious and checking things out.

Exactly,it is the curiosity among the young out there to try out these things,its got nothing to do with rise in income. Just like i left no stones unturned to try out Hydrabadi biryani & just like @GURU DUTT said people shift bac to eating ghass phoos after there 40's or so,when maybe they are bored of it,i hv meet many people out there who dont eat non-veg anymore.its all about curiosity,talks about income is BS

I can't imagine my life without a healthy supply of meat in every meal.

Stop trolling man You know you are trolling.

Zarva - It's not true that a human needs meat/veg etc. Humans need nutrition, veg/veg+non veg/non veg only can provide it. Choice is yours. Does not mean that's the best. Staying on a carb diet for a growing kid is bad, he needs more proteins. He can get it from any source - veg or otherwise. The older you get, more you should try to stay away from fats and this includes fat from veg sources. There is no holy/unholy stuff here. Medical science is clear on this.

And equating personal food choice with economic capacity is laughable. Many Indians are trying new things. That is normal in a free country that is breaking the social taboos. But most Indians are inclined towards a very strict self imposed moderation on non veg food.

Even those who have non veg, keep days marked for having veg only.

Human body needs meet and also vegetables for a healthy body

The best diet is a balanced diet containing veg,meat, fruit, nuts etc etc

Good the indians are finally realising this and leaving their old hindu ways, cant eat daal and sabzi all your life

Hindus also eat meat.Please stop thinking in old typical Pakistani ways.

I could eat Non-veg daily if i like , but i don't. The impact on earth by eating a nonveg diet is far higher that a all veg one. May be because of my veg diet i could control my weight . BTW tell me how many diseases can be caused by veg diet. colon and stomach cancer can be prevented by eating a rainbow diet. I eat gurh which gives me enough iron. even those poor patients who come to me who have Iron def. anemia, I advice them to eat a spoon of gurh daily which is not so taxing on their wallet.

Lol- you have sharp pointed teeth for a reason-use em- -

What is the use of nipples and appendix in men.

so who doesn't eat non-veg doesn't poses healthy body
