Answer 1

Answer:

Vegetarianism is strongly linked with a number of Dharmic traditions (religions) that originated in ancient India (Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism), and it is sometimes linked with non-Dharmic religions.

Explanation:

Most Indian religions have philosophical schools that forbid consumption of meat and Jainism institutes an outright ban on meat. Consequently, India is home to more vegetarians than any other country. About 30% of India's 1.2 billion population practices lacto vegetarianism,[8] with overall meat consumption increasing.[9] The per capita meat consumption in India in 2002 was 5.2 kg, while it was 24 times more in the United States at 124.8 kg. Meat consumption in the United States and India grew at about 40% over the last 50 years. In 1961, Indian per capita meat consumption was 3.7 kg, while the US consumption was 89.2 kg.[10]
