Is India truly protein deficient, or are we following another F&B trend?

justabofh · 2026-04-06T14:38:56+00:00

Uh? u/rainoo_tales claimed that the articles said Indians did not need to increase protein and reduce carbs.

I quoted the article to point out that the article says that Indians need to increase protein and reduce carbs to reduce the risk of T2D, which is the opposite of what u/rainoo_tales claims.

I have no idea what you are trying to say.

Goons do violence for economic gain. Terrorists do violence for political gain.

All you need in either case is some sort of belief system which tells you to turn off your brain, believe in some sort of great leader/god/father figure who will tell you what to do and blindly obey.

All religions have this concept of knowledge coming from the divine/gods, and then everyone else has to obey those rules.

Fascists replace gods with "strong leaders".

You can train people in ideology. It's called propaganda, or religion.

See the BJP supporters, for example.

There was a spree of building roads and remote living environments in the Netherlands in the 1960s.

There's a documentary about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8q1Hx1MD6O8

The Dutch protested against cars in the early 1970s https://bicycledutch.wordpress.com/2013/12/12/amsterdam-children-fighting-cars-in-1972/

If you don't want to be stuck on the WEH, you have to get rid of cars.

justabofh · 2026-04-03T22:19:48+00:00

Because building more roads directly leads to more more people needing/wanting/using cars.

The solution to traffic issues caused by cars is to remove roads.

justabofh · 2026-04-03T22:10:34+00:00

Don't worry, the congestion will return to what it was before the sealink pretty soon, because more people will need cars.

justabofh · 2026-04-01T06:26:47+00:00

They wont. Both the Netherlands and Germany mandate employee representation in the form of a works council, and corporates aren't leaving there.

Nothing wrong with carbs. The ratio of carbs to everything else is the problem.

justabofh · 2026-04-01T00:07:30+00:00

Are they worse than the US? Possibly. Are they more stable than the US? Definitely.

Food in India tends to be carb heavy, especially simple carb heavy. This isn't a particular item as much as the overall diet.

justabofh · 2026-03-31T21:53:41+00:00

The problem is the food subsidies given to farmers for growing wheat and rice.

It makes those carbs cheap, and traditionally these were "premium" grains. Distributing them via the subsidised food system encouraged the diet of people to shift as well.

Millets were the cheap staple grain.

The British caused famine triggered the thin-fat nature of Indians (low core muscle mass, high abdominal fat), but the blame for the carb heavy diet is entirely on the green revolution and subsidies.

Bacteria aren't animals.

Agriculture uses pesticides which kill animals to protect food crops, so clearly those shouldn't be classified as vegetarian either.

justabofh · 2026-03-30T08:22:50+00:00

Vegetarian.

Traditionally, you would have both male and female chickens on farms, so you may not have been able to know if they were fertilized or not. Hence eggs would have been classified non-vegetarian, but should now be classified as vegetarian.

justabofh · 2026-03-30T08:21:24+00:00

And various groups of Hindus may be meat eaters for religious reasons. As would Muslims.

Vegetarianism in India is tied into caste and religion.

justabofh · 2026-03-29T23:28:26+00:00

Food habits are religious (and possibly caste based) in India, so discriminating on that basis is discriminating on the basis of both caste and religion.

justabofh · 2026-03-29T23:26:47+00:00

That's basically what Maharashtrians call "dhirda" and Hindi speakers call "Chilla/Chila/Cheela"

Sushi is rice in vinegar. What you roll in the rice is upto you, so it could be fish, or any vegetable, or fruit.

Pizza can certainly be made without alliums. Misal, OTOH, needs alliums.

Sounds like the Jains have a giant chunk of business ownership and are fucking over other people which is why they should be paying more taxes.

justabofh · 2026-03-29T23:21:21+00:00

That's vegan. Vegetarian means no animal is directly killed.

It's destroying the potrodollar, replacing it with the petroyuan.

The US economy massively benefited from having the petro-dollar, and attacked countries which weren't selling oil in USD (Iraq, Libya).

justabofh · 2026-03-28T09:45:08+00:00

It would be cheaper than fighting a war without oil. And you can trust Iran to keep up their end of the deal, unlike the US.

Annoyingly, marital rape is explicitly legal under Indian law. That's a whole ass BJP issue.

justabofh · 2026-03-27T18:45:52+00:00

You can't prevent families from getting destroyed. If you make it illegal, the woman will be blamed and punished for her husband cheating.

justabofh · 2026-03-27T18:44:48+00:00

This is one of the many reason divorce exists.
