South India. 30-40% of the population is strictly vegetarian; the rest is 'mostly-vegetarian'.

How can you be "mostly vegetarian"? Isn't that like being mostly virgin?

According to south Indians (like my grandmother) if you've ever tasted meat, you're no longer a vegetarian, even if you haven't eaten any in decades.

So yes, it's like virginity.

Does it count if you only put the meat in your mouth?

I think it counts if the meat was unwilling. Or didn't pay well.

"I worked on high steel for fifteen years, built some of the tallest skyscrapers in the world, do they call me 'Bob the ironworker?' No, they do not.
"I worked driving cattle for 7 years, across some of the harshest terrain in the world, do they call me 'Cowboy Bob? No, they do not.
"I worked on off shore oil rigs for 10 years, never missing a day of work despite hurricanes, lightning storms, you name it. Do they call me 'Roughneck Bob? No, they do not.

"But, you fuck ONE goat..."

I heard a similar joke about some cocksucker that built a hundred bridges just a few days ago.

"The average American diet, which is high in fat, sodium and cholesterol, contributes to disease. Some of the important advantages of a vegan diet are that your risk of colon cancer, prostate cancer, high blood pressure and heart disease are significantly lowered. A vegan diet also helps control diabetes, which is becoming epidemic. If you require insulin, you will still need to take it, but a strictly plant-based diet can reduce your insulin needs."
-a source from web says.
Been vegetarian for last 9 years. Going good

What does a vegan eat for protein? And how are those ingredients used in dishes?
