The whole thing is a mockery. Poor people can't afford to be vegetarians and they dont have a veg and fruit rich diet as a consequence. Vegetarianism tends to be a middle class thing.
400 000 000 Indians might disagree with that view.
Different culture. Proves nothing.
Your culture isn't the only culture.
...it isn't even the most important culture.

What does that prove?

Actually, I wish sometimes that Schweppes did not hold a virtual monopoly on the French tonic market...

If I were, I'd be wishing the state held the monopoly, not that there were other brands and a variety of tastes.

I imagine, some time in the 22nd century, in a classroom, in a history course, the students will be tasked to read this thread as a source of how people thought in the past and they will never be possible to grasp how people could not only eat meat coming from living animals but also joke about it!

Looking for something to dilute the Malawi Tonic water.
Tanqueray is pretty much my standard gin - a good, honest gin. I also love to try the many boutique gins now being made in Oz, and they can be delicious, but too pricey for anything other than an occasional splurge.

And Brian, this is not a derail - a G & T is surely as vegan as it gets! ;)

Almost one in four food products launched in UK in 2019 labelled vegan

Almost a quarter of all new UK food products launched last year were labelled vegan, while nearly two-thirds of Britons chose to eat meat substitutes, figures show.

Over the past two years, the proportion of Britons who have eaten food containing meat substitutes has risen from 50% in 2017 to 65%, the analysts Mintel said.
It found sales of meat-free foods have grown 40% to an estimated £816m in 2019.

The proportion of meat eaters who have reduced or limited the amount of meat they consume has risen from 28% in 2017 to 39% in 2019, it said.
Despite the increasing popularity of flexitarian diets – consisting of predominantly plant-based food with some meat and fish – Mintel found 88% of Britons would still eat red meat or poultry.

And while new UK food product launches labelled vegan have risen from 17% in 2018 to 23% last year, those following a vegan diet still only make up about 1% of the UK population, the figures show.

When asked about the benefits of eating less meat, 25% of consumers cited improving the environment, while 32% said it helped to improve health and 31% said it saved them money...
