>3.1. Privilege/India Voluntary veganism is a privilege that is enabled by globalization and concentrated in first-world societies[1]. Less than 1%[2] of Indians are vegan. Jains, who are similar to vegans, are the wealthiest Indian community[3] and even they still drink milk. In fact, India is a great example of why veganism doesn't work because they've religiously pursued it for thousands of years and still couldn't do it. Even Gandhi[4] was an ex-vegan that had to warn them how dangerous the diet is.
