It may sound astounding, but it’s true that Goa, the popular beach destinations in India despite all its fish attractions has been declared as the vegan-friendly state of the year 2020 by People of Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). This adds another plume to the cap of the spot that is famous as India’s highest sea shore objective also. Goa CM Pramod Sawant has also been congratulated by PETA for the accomplishment.
On Saturday PETA India felicitated CM Pramod Sawant for providing a vegan-friendly environment in the state where both humans and animals can thrive.
“Goa is quickly becoming a top dining destination for the increasing number of people interested in the healthy and cruelty-free fare. PETA India is recognizing Goa for leading by example and showing other states how to meet the growing demand for vegan food and fashion in style,” said PETA’s India vegan outreach co-ordinator Dr. Kiran Ahuja
PETA has stated in a statement that every person who goes vegan spares almost 200 animals a year. While Goa has stayed the great love of most vacationers in the country, its top ranking as a vegan-friendly destination has come as surprising. It has been majorly lauded by foodies for its meat specialities, especially the variety of seafood that is on offer here, but over time, the state has become a hub of vegan restaurants, which mostly see tourists in droves.
A further fascinating fact about Goa is the local food comprises a lot more than meat dishes, which is a common belief. The next time you are here, look further than Pork vindaloo and Prawn balchaoo; there is a lot more at offer including a range of stews ( shak), varan (lentils), Goan tondak (with buns), Solachi kadi and more.
