Recent globalization and an increase in India’s middle class have led to the beginning of a dietary shift in India. With the onset of industrial animal agriculture, or factory farming, leading to cheaper animal-derived foods, and the introduction of Western fast food restaurant chains, demand is growing for meat, eggs, and dairy products. This shift in dietary customs is opening a public dialogue on the animal welfare, health, environmental, and cultural consequences of a more heavily animal-based diet.
