Re: MONEY FOR VEGGIES
library101
'Veggies' are a 'Bharatiya' tradition ;
- No one else in the New World or Europe (?) farmed it until recently,
if I am not highly mistaken
- Even China, Japan, others may have got it from Bharat over the Ages,
if I am not highly mistaken
- Are we sticking to the Truth here or is it Lies (see excerpt shown
below) ?

What the heck is this 'doomed' and 'dependent largely on imports',
etc. ?
No one else in the world except the Bharatiya people eat veggies as a
well-established diet ('over history'). Others are all dependent upon
'meat' eating with vegetables and pulses etc. coming in as additions
to the diet (probably historically taken from Bharat through Russia to
China, 'Bharat to Japan', etc. ?) until the 'Vegan' people turned up
recently in USA etc.
Are we forgetting history or is this some 'smartie' (smart Alec) re-
inventing history to the detriment of Bharat's leadership in Veggie
diets and foods and plants and crops, etc. (This 'Vegetarian' versus
'Vegan' and such other fairly recent 'Power' struggles between Bharat
and the 'West') ? The other people of the world seem to have a
digestion (gas) problem with these kinds of diets anyways. That seems
to be a natural deterrent that seems to be partially preventing the
'takeover'. Yet, I do see vegetables and pulses in the New World (the
Americas) that do not seem to be 'natural' here. 'Corn' and
'wheat' (tortillas) and 'beans' and such plant foods seem to have made
it to the New World (the Americas) in the past via the Spanish
Conquistadores route, if they were not already there from some other
previous knowledge of foods and plants and crops ? < This needs
further investigation... >
There is no problem with Bharatiya people 'teaching' the world about
diets and plants and crops as long as it is the truth that is said
about it and not lies.
< Research into the history of diets and plants and crops is needed...
