One of these cultures has normalised vegan and vegetarianism for centuries, the other is trying to wean a meat-obsessed population.
They are not the same thing, nor do they have the same requirements to reach their end goals

As someone who works in a grocery store, the worst fucking people are the ones who go up to the deli counter and yell at the clerks, demanding the "bloodiest* roast beef they’ve got. That or the spiciest turkey, or whatever.
Dudes who’s entire sense of self is invested in eating meat. Easily the most annoying kind of guy I encounter in my daily life.
veganism was invented in the 1940s in Britain
inaccurate. Even a brief wiki would correct you on this.
saying something doesn’t make it true. alluding to the existence of evidence is not the same as presenting evidence.
what on earth are you on about.
One of the earliest known vegans was the Arab poet al-Maʿarri, famous for his poem “I No Longer Steal From Nature”. (c. 973 – c. 1057).
The first known vegan cookbook was Asenath Nicholson’s Kitchen Philosophy for Vegetarians, published in 1849
These are documented historical facts. Not “saying something” which ironically appears to be the position you are claiming.
Did the modern name come about in the 40’s? yes, that’s the etymology of it. But you’re treating that fact like the movement or ideology was formed at the same time, which is tremendously, provably wrong. It’s like claiming gay people are a relatively new invention because the term “homosexual” wasn’t coined until the 1890’s
veganism is a specific philosophy, and while variations of vegetarianism predate it, veganism itself dates to the 1940s.
Honestly the Indian one should have just been “Here’s your meal.” “Thanks. It is delicious, as expected.”
Ohhhh scary, buzzz words… Chemicals.
Water is a chemical. Salt is a preservative This is fucking stupid.
Think this post confuses veganism and vegetarianism. Also it’s chemicals all the way down. Those spices? Made of chemicals.
Those alternative burgers are actually pretty tasty but also very heavy because they are imitating beef. For American fare I’d generally prefer a sandwich with deli style meats made out of tofu or seitan, or a bean burger.
BEYOND MEAT IS PEOPLE! WE GOTTA STOP’EM! SOMEHOW!
I mean have you all seen the videos in tiktok about the zero hygiene they have in the street food places while preparing the food, oh my…
