The 'Vegan' way

It may seem difficult for some of us to imagine a breakfast without an egg or a sausage. But let’s look at it like this – It’s a Breakfast with lots of veggies and fruits instead. Sounds interesting, isn’t it?  In India, one cannot ignore the vegetarianism. Not only there are exclusive veg catering for events and catering for conferences in India but also US food chains like McDonalds and KFC serve a veg burger here .Around 500 million people in India are strict vegetarians.’500 million’ a figure that cannot be ignored. 

Well in India off course the choice of being a vegetarian is largely driven because of religion and caste system. Killing animals is considered wrong by many people and hence the ‘vegan’ way. No wonder many people prefer carrying veg tiffins to offices or a veg breakfast is served in schools. But what is more interesting is that in recent times, there has been a rise in the number of people who choose to go the vegan way, not because a religion says so, but because the want to.

What makes people quit their egg and sausage breakfast and choose an oatmeal instead? Kristen Bell, a Hollywood actress who has been named as the sexiest vegetarian celebrity of 2013 by PETA said,"I had a hard time disassociating the animals I cuddled with—dogs and cats, for example—from the animals on my plate, and I never really cared for the taste of meat. I always loved my sprouts!” Amitabh Bachchan another famous vegetarian celebrity says his decision of going vegan isn’t because of any religious influence, instead it’s because he believes in simplicity and non-violence.

A plant-based diet demonstrates many health and environmental benefits. Being a vegetarian - you live longer, you keep away many illnesses, your skin has less problems, you lose weight, you have stronger bones, you look younger than your physical age and moreover you spare the animals!

A Premium Veg Thali

Indeed today even I agree to what Clinton says, “I wanted to live to be a grandfather so I just went all the way, getting rid of the meat”. A jain veg tiffin or a veg thali service chain in Mumbai is so going to attract my attention now. What about you?
