No carnivores for Mumbai, please

What's sad to me is that this sounds like Bizarroland, or an article out of The Onion:

"It's just not fair. It's a monopoly by vegetarians," said Kiran Talwar, 49, a prosthetics engineer who has seen vegetarianism take over restaurants and groceries all over his childhood neighborhood on posh Nepeansea Road.

"If you step out to eat, there's nothing for miles (kilometers) because everything around is veggie," he said.

Suburban supermarkets have been known to dump their non-veg foods overnight because of complaints from shoppers.

"We cleared our shelves of tuna tins and frozen chicken. We don't keep any nonvegetarian items now," said Neelam Ahuja, owner of the K-value supermarket. "Many customers don't like non-veg, so we stopped stocking it."

Seriously, if I woke up tomorrow and saw this in the L.A. Times, I would have to think I was dreaming.
