Buddhist vegetarianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
The number 400,000,000 wasn't wrong, what I applied it to was. Roughly 40% of the population of India is vegetarian. India has a population of 1 billion.
I wrote Buddhist and should have been more accurate (speed kills... it also makes a mess of your posts).
For the record... I eat a lot of meat. I am not passionate about vegetarians, I just know that there are a heck of a lot of people getting painted with a very broad "bizarre" brush... and that annoys me.
Some people are so sure that their way is the only way. I say recognize diversity and embrace the fuck out of it. Your life will be richer for it.
