High carbohydrates, oily, and belief that "vegetarian" food is "healthy" is an added anathema for India. Animal proteins are exceedingly low in the Indian diet, a reason for both under and over-nutrition in our country. These added to poverty and lack of education is what needs to be overcome.

Eat beef. Problem solved.

Problem is how you tell Indian to change their cooking habit with Curry?

I do not agree to your point of meat consumption leading to better growth. This is a medical myth as per recent evidence. I fact cattle aggravate poverty and water sources. My own daughter is gowning taller than all other meat eating kids - on vegan diet. Protein can very well be gotten from plants, millets.

[@bonran]

Bullcrap

[@tonistaak]

There are studies showing meat eating countries having taller people. Also studies which show meat eating increased average height.
U shouldn't generalise based on 1 example of ur daughter, u don't know all the factors at play

[@adammobadam]

so biased
