India has also had a big explosion in consumption of westernised convenience foods. I bet that has nothing to do with a rise in the various health issues we all know junk food causes. The same thing has been happening all over Asia and the Middle East. Maybe not as much to do with vegetarianism as you think.
What do you think the 'convenience' foods are made of? I'll throw in a clue - it isn't red meat, either there or here. More sugar, flour, and seed oils.grumbledoak said:

More sugar, flour, and seed oils.People get sick because they don’t eat well, it happens all over the world and the vast majority of people in developed countries get sick from eating the same food. Wouldn’t you say the problem is the mass production of homogenised bad food?
I’ll grant you that people in India aren’t getting sick from eating beef, they are getting sick from eating McDonalds and KFC chicken though.
All the Vegan lifestyle sales team are out today 
At the end of the day, there are just too many people on the planet and that number is ever growing.
Trying to reduce the impact the people make is only a short term fix. As the numbers continue to grow the demands on the planet become higher and higher which even the Vegan lifestyle won’t be able to accommodate.
I’m sticking with my balanced diet, keep things for a long time and fix them when they break. Consume what I think is appropriate and try not to waste stuff (apart from a bit of petrol and rubber from time to time)

This is untrue if we all ate a vegan diet, at least in relation to our ability to feed the current population efficiently and healthily. Did you miss ever growing ?

My chickens love cheese and bacon scraps
I'm told chickens will drop what they are doing for mince, but I've never had the opportunity to test this.I should probably go try it on the ducks in the local pond...
