In modern conversations about diet, three words dominate the debate: vegetarian, non-vegetarian, and vegan. Vegetarian, non-vegetarian, vegan. Non-vegetarians, on the other hand, include animal meat in their diet, often shaped by cultural traditions, festivals, and regional cuisine. Health, too, drives this shift; higher fibre, fewer saturated fats, and nutrient diversity make plant-based diets appealing for long-term well-being. However, a well-planned non-vegetarian diet, rich in fish, lean meats, salads, and grains, can be perfectly healthy.
