PETA’s co-founder and President Ingrid Newkirk recently addressed an audience on vegetarianism while attending an environmental conference on economic sustainability in Mumbai.

Someone in the audience raised a hand and asked, “If I become a vegan, what can I eat?”

Here’s how Ingrid responded to the individual, from Huffingtonpost.com:

Being a lover of Indian food, I could only say this:

Papad, chapattis,

Dumplings and naan,

Channa and rotis,

Onion uttapam,

Masala dosa,

Green callaloo,

Gourd and samosa,

Corn and aloo.

Shalgam, bryani,

And channa masala,

Tomato soup…

A diet of Indian food is one of the best ways to remain vegetarian, as many of the dishes consist of lentil, grains and vegetables.

And if you’re not a master in the kitchen, there are even microwave versions of the ethic cuisine, such as any of the Amy’s entrees of Mattar Tofu or Vegetable Korma.

Not to mention how impressed your taste buds will be with the use of flavorful spices like curry.

A night with friends and family at the Indian restaurant buffet and you might find yourself unbuttoning your pants from too many samosas.

As Ingrid said in her article, “I think we’ll survive without milk and meat. In fact, it may be the only way to help the planet itself survive.”
