Even doctors are surprised at the deficiency of hemoglobin in non-veg eaters. There is a culture of eating non-veg in different ways in different parts of the world. People all over the country eat mutton, chicken and eggs with great gusto. The culture of eating fish varies according to areas. Fish is very much liked in areas near the sea like West Bengal, Odisha and southern states.
