That's true Vegan diet creates a lot of vitamin deficiency. When you live in that type of atmosphere it becomes easier for the body also to adopt. Here in Middle East region the influence of Non veg is high and it gets difficult to follow and also I have still not had that very strong urge of giving it up. I can imagine how difficult it must be to practice it in European region, but I feel now in the west people are making conscious decisions about diet and many are going veg, also when you go out you have options. I remember in late 90s when I used to travel to switzerland often diet was the biggest challenge for me
