The Land of Milk
If there's one thing I figured out from my first days in India, it was this: I was not going to be vegan in this country.
Dairy is a way of life here. There are even stores that look like the water refilling stations back home, instead they sell milk, and an endless array of milk products (yogurt, ice cream, etc.). People of all gender, age, persuasion just come up in their motorbikes and hang out drinking plain or flavored packets of milk. Unbelievable.
And the more conscientious ones save the packets for recycling.
