India has been a vegan nation for many centuries, its people eat very little modern processed junk foods because modern junk foods are relatively expensive there, their diet is most vegan, not even lacto-ovo-vegetarian. There has been plenty of evidences and statistics from India showing vegans have shorter life span and poorer health index than compared to neighbor nation such as Pakistan, a country that's poorer and less developed than India. Most people in Pakistan eat meat, about double the per capita amount in India, as a result of eating meat, Pakistan has less coronary heart disease and diabetes.
World Health Organization says when comparing India to Pakistan, India has 22% higher rate of Cardiovascular Diseases Death, and 24% higher Mortality Probability due to cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, or chronic respiratory disease.
