Vegetarian vs. Non-Vegetarian: Food blogger's controversial meal post ignites online fury
The clash between vegetarian and non-vegetarian diets is a frequent topic of discussion online, and a recent social media post highlighting this issue has ignited a lively debate.
Here’s yet another interesting debate that has recently sparked an online debate about the old topic
Food blogger Nalini Unagar took to X (formerly Twitter) to express her pride in being a vegetarian. She posted a vibrant photo of her meal, featuring a hearty serving of rice and dal, and accompanied it with a powerful message: “I’m proud to be a vegetarian. My plate is free from tears, cruelty, and guilt.”
The tweet has attracted more than 3.5 million views and a flurry of comments, with most users voicing their disagreement with her viewpoint.
Several users proudly showcased images of their non-vegetarian dishes, expressing their satisfaction with their culinary selections.

“What’s proud of that??? Keep your thoughts and ideology with you no issues. Don’t tell the other side is cruel. Your mentality is more cruel than what’s on a Non-vegetarian plate. Better change ur mind or change ur posts…. Coexistence is the ultimate goal in a social community,” says one of the comments.
“It’s also free from protein and other essential nutrients. Your ‘pride’ has resulted in the majority of our country becoming skinny fat due to the excessive and sole consumption of carbohydrates,” says another comment.
As a response to one of the comments Nalini pointed that ,”
In the dairy industry, mother cows cry for days after their babies are taken from them. Now imagine if human babies were taken away from their mothers; it would be illegal. But there is no one to listen to those silent animals. It seems like animals have no right to live.”
Unagar has previously posted a photo of her meal with that exact same caption.
In June, Unagar shared a comparable image featuring a plate of fried rice accompanied by paneer gravy, using the identical caption. This post sparked outrage among thousands.
