    In my country where alot of children are malnourished and significant population is stunted Its not feasible nor realistic to shift to only veggies.

    Alot of people here have easier access to meat than they do to vegetables because the amount of rabid capitalism that goes on that breaks both farmers and consumers benefiting the middlemen. People often cant grow their own veggies due to basically land being held by feudal lords, alot of poorer backward communities have relied on cattle for their living due to this.

    The supposed upper caste and right wing extremists present eating meat as sin, they often lynch and harass minorities/backward groups who consume meat so it is hard for me to get in line with veganism.

    Edit: I think veganism is not something to be pushed, it will come naturally when maybe we solve our other societal ills

      Well, that’s a pretty abyssmal situation in your country and I’m sorry to hear that. I would not argue that not eating meat is better than malnourishment or starvation.
