I am a vegetarian; travelling across India and other parts of the world and witnessing the spread of vegetarianism all-over has led me to appreciate and value the aspects of it. Today, even in meat-dominated countries, finding a good vegetarian meal is not difficult. Countries across the world, boast many vegetarian and vegan-friendly restaurants owing to a growing number of people who are willing to adopt a vegetarian lifestyle.
Following a vegetarian diet is no longer akin to just eating salads and fruits – with time and migration of people, food cultures are no longer rigid or sterile. Countries and people have embraced each other’s eating habits and lifestyle.
Pull through the narrow city by lanes, or stop by spacious yet busy highway eateries in India, everywhere in the country, you will be welcomed by iconic vegetarian roadside stalls, restaurants or dhabas.Not only eateries but even as we go from one convenience store to another, super foods, plant-based milk and yogurt, mock meat products, and fresh produce on the shelves give a tough competition to their non-vegetarian neighbours.
India is known as a vegetarian country even though non-vegetarians outnumber their vegetarian counterparts here. Shifting (or not) to a vegetarian lifestyle is an individual’s choice, but of late,as consumers around the world become more mindful of what they consume and broaden their search for healthier foods, they are concocting healthier meals, while making sure it is respectful of nature and of animal well-being.
