Vegetarian Indian here, I agree. Growing up watching American cartoons I always used to wonder why the kids are shown not to like vegetables. Its only when I moved here (US) and saw how vegetables are served, I could empathize with the cartoon character kids.

There are parts of India which are almost entirely vegetarian. So much so that, it has prompted giants like pizza hut and subway to open vegetarian only restaurants.

And might I add, the food is delicious.

I'll always go for a paneer-based curry over a meat-based one, and I say that as a big meat eater. That stuff is divine.

I am a meat eater. But growing up in India eating meat was rare (it was too expensive) and even in our house, vegetarian food was the norm. Being vegetarian in the US is not that hard, especially in a place like Seattle, but in India, it’s a non-event. Vegan food on the other hand would be hard.
