veganism: most people here so far have said India. I have a feeling they might be confused with vegetarianism, because vegetarianism is quite common in India. I agree with FM, though, there is a huge usage of dairy in Indian cooking, as that seems to be embedded in the culture (they worship cows for her generosity in producing milk - albeit naturally, no hormones or antibiotics or anything, at least back in the days) and commonly use clarified butter (ghee), regular butter, milk, and milk-based sweets in their cooking. If it wasn't for the enormous emphasis on meat, I'd agree with FM that non-Indian Asians probably have the greatest commonality of veganism in their diets. For the most part, as far as I know, their vegetarian foods are all vegan (veg. sushi, veg. chow mein, etc). To be entirely fair, though, I can't say for sure that I know the answer to your question. I can see East and Southeast Asia as likely candidates, and California, US, and um, maybe the Greek people (think falafels, hummus, etc), but other than that, I don't know. Sorry.|||In India.|||lndia all the way!!!!|||India i think!|||I say India|||India.|||Berkeley.|||It would not likely be India, since Indian food contains lots of dairy. It would more likely be people who are Buddhist vegetarian, since non-Indian Asians generally don't consume dairy products.|||yep India|||India. Most of their restaurants are vegan and vegetarian. In certain parts of the country, you won't find a single trace of meat in restaurants and supermarkets. Also, for religious and ethical reasons it's a country that embraces vegetarian and vegan foods of all sorts. : )|||veganism has nothing to do with starvation. poverty has everything to do with starvation. jeez why are people so ridiculous.|||Also note, 50% of the worlds starving people live in India, lets hear it for veganism! Nearly 50 percent of the world's hungry live in India, a low-income, food-deficit country. Around 35 percent of India's population - 350 million - are considered food-insecure, consuming less than 80 percent of minimum energy requirements. Nutritional and health indicators are extremely low. Nearly nine out of 10 pregnant women aged between 15 and 49 years suffer from malnutrition and anaemia. Anaemia in pregnant women causes 20 percent of infant mortality. More than half of the children under five are moderately or severely malnourished, or suffer from stunting.
