Even if Indians ate 2x the meat that they do now, they wouldn’t consume anywhere as much as Americans do. Increasing meat consumption in America is not necessary.

India would do well to consume more protein, and the US would do well to consume less

Well if you cook the vegetables in litres of ghee that’ll happen.

has your government published any science on this? being completely serious, i'd like to read it. Is India mostly vegetarian because of lack of access to farms/meats, religious reasons, financial, or what? I didn't know it was largely vegetarian. I don't know i had an idea of the ratio or that it would be different than any other country.

Apparently the Mediterranean also is largely vegetarian. at least the eponymous diet is.
