But I think my basic point that vegetarianism is well-established in India, and has been for a very long time, still stands.

Yes, even 20% to 30% of the population being vegetarian is a huge amount compared to most (all?) other countries.

The same sort of thing happens with whatever city you happen to be visiting (or living in).

Visiting and living-in often lead to very different experiences.

Me visiting:
Welcome. Come in. Care for a drink? Honey, come say hello to our guest.

Me moving in next door:
Another foreign heathen coming to take our jobs away. Stay away from our daughters, you gaijin dog!!

I'm not sure about you living next door, but down the street would be ok. Then we could go out for a drink and a laugh

That way he's only half-foreign.

i can confirm 100% and more.

example from here:
everybody likes a foreigner.
they can polish their english skills and generally show that they are ... what's the word ... international.
but when that foreigner starts speaking the language and just wants to be one of you, there isn't much acceptance.

also your own, personal experience is different: when you're exhilarated from holiday feeling (probably during spring/summer), visiting any place might be much nicer than when you start going to work there every day...

Veganism is a great option nowadays to live healthy.

iMBeCil · 2019-03-07 09:38:28

Says who?

hhh · 2019-03-08 02:18:58

Vegans, that's who. *chomps crisp bacon strip, sips coffee with half and half, eats scrambled eggs, chews toast drizzled with honey*

Sorry, bees.

iMBeCil · 2019-04-03 20:55:17

^Well, in this context, very few things are bad, as long as they are not forced to other people.

(Wow: my daughter became a vegetarian for no particular reason, and she is still my daughter ... you should see jokes we fling at each other 8o 8o )

Just read an article documenting how many of the major YouTube vegan "influencers" have either confessed to or been outed as eating fish and other non-vegan foods while still claiming to be vegan. The most common reason for doing so was to alleviate health complications that arose from a vegan diet...

^Oh ... I have 'next door' example of how important is to plan you food intake if one became vegetarian: a friend's kidteenager suddenly decided, unprepared, it will be vegetarian. As there was missing stuff in its vegetarian diet (mostly some sort of energy), the teenager became very very dependent on sweets (chocolate, mostly) which in turn made the kid a bit fater, and more importantly the diet caused a serious liver deterioration.

After several visits to doctor, they got the advice: start to eat all the food. And, liver as liver, as soon as meat were reintroduced in diet, it soon regenerated.

This story is not against vegetarianism ... it is against uninformed vegetarianism: one has carefully plan its meatless diet. And vegetarianism is not for small kids, and positively definitely not for cats

That's my kind of advice

What a strange thread.

I've been vegetarian for 31 years. You can definitely be an unhealthy vegetarian.

I have B12 deficiency, but that is because I have coeliac disease and also Pernicious anaemia too.

hhh · 2020-05-18 23:55:58

There's a medical condition with "pernicious" as part of its name? Is that supposed to be some kind of doctor joke? What the...

This is OT, things do get strange here. On Wednesdays we do a Lynch/Fellini film comparison thread. Well, not yet.

But we will.

Yep, it's an autoimmune condition.

^ They might as well name Round 2 of Covid-19 "I Told You I'd Be Back" and have Arnold narrate the commercial.

"The Sarcastic Flu (starring Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow)."

"The Double-Entendre Lung Infection (One For Each Lung)."

"Anemia Indemnity (How Goldman Sachs Stole My Blood)."

hhh · 2020-05-19 22:15:39

Gilbert Gottfried's agent is on the phone right now pitching "The Sarcastic Flu". He's pitching the parrot character again. "It's a pirate thing!", he's saying.

mariannemarlow · 2020-05-20 08:43:10

Well they had to call it something and I guess they thought Lovely Anaemia wasn't effective enough.

ohnonot · 2020-05-21 06:51:10

I guess it's to differentiate from other sorts of anemia.
So your stomach cannot absorb B12? How do you take it?

Sorry about hhh. He gets like that sometimes.

mariannemarlow · 2020-05-21 07:39:05

No need to apologise, it was humorous. Everywhere needs to have a class clown

I have B12 injections every 3 months.
