I don't know what you mean by

dietary traditions of India. Other

than putting emphasis on vegetarian

eating for Brahmins and eating sweets

on festivals, I know of no dietary traditions

of India.

 

And, eating sweet is bad for health and body

that is pretty much proven.

India [including Brahmins] does eat milk though.

And, I know a Great number of people who are

very healthy, very strong and have lived a long

healthy living without ever eating any meat.

 

Interestingly, my father has never eaten meat since

he was seventeen year old and I have occasionally eaten

meat since I was about 17 year old. My father is still

much bigger and much stronger than me and is quite

healthy for his age. My mother has never eaten meat,

she is quite healthy, energetic and fit too. So was my

grandpa and grandma who never ate any meat.

 

However, I am not trying to advocate

eating meat or vegetables. I am just trying

to explore how they might effect emotions,

thoughts and behavior.

 

I myself eat meat

(chicken) from time to time and am trying

to get my 7 year old daughter to eat it too

after hearing many " lectures " on need to

eat meat from American media.

 

I also tried

to drink wine, eat chocolates, drink coffee,

drink tea after hearing many " lectures " on

their benefits from American Media. I wonder

how many of these lectures are in fact, directly

or indirectly funded, sponsored or influenced

by 'meat industry, 'wine industry', 'chocolate

industry' and 'coffee industry'.

 

On thing that

I have learned {and am still learning} after coming

to this country is that when it comes to 'Money'...

an amazingly great number of acts that I considered

immoral, unethical, wrong or 'cheating' and 'fraud'

are in fact, perfectly legal, 'normal' and 'accepted'!

It has been a real " education " and 'eye opening'

for me!

By dietary traditions, I'm referring to

 

 

http://www.sanatansociety.org/ayurveda_home_remedies/ayurveda_three_gunas.htm

 

Most of the vegetarians I've met seem to be having some health

problem. But I don't know. Are these healthy vegetarians you refer

to not overweight or anemic?
