Vegan India! - Veganism in India

Is living as a vegan expensive in India?

February 20, 2021May 21, 2021 Sowmya 0 Comments are vegan products expensive, being vegan expensive, vegan india, why is vegan so expensive

Of all the places in the world, veganism in India is one of the least expensive and effortless affairs. The vegetarian food Indians eat at home primarily consists of rice, dal, roti, sabzi, pickle, salad, and curd. Skipping the curd or replacing it with home-made vegan curd requires minimal amount of change in terms of including vegan food products and excluding non-vegan ones. If anything, cutting ghee and expensive paneer out of our diet and replacing it with healthy, inexpensive, and cholesterol-free tofu when needed, should only result in a drop in expenses!

This article by Dr. Karen Davis with an introduction by 14-year-old Manish M, enumerates the “words” that chickens use to communicate to their friends and family members and what these “words” mean to chickens.
