PHM-Exch> Article: India is Not a 'Vegetarian Country' Like the EAT-Lancet Report Would Have Us Believe

[Kaaren Mathias]

Hi Sulakshana/ Sylvia and all -
Thanks for sharing this excellent article in The Wire - you underline many
important points in this article. At the same time I find as someone
vegetarian for environmental reasons, that many in India believe that
eating non-veg is somehow a politically progressive thing to do (in the
face of Hindu nationalism). In this age of climate change and carbon
footprints and over-eating, I think it behoves all of us with the
privilege of being well-nourished, and above the poverty line to choose a
largely plant based diet.
