Tshewang's Journal

Upon our arrival in Bhutan, Phuntsholing greeted us with open arms, beckoning us into a local restaurant where we indulged in a feast of Bhutanese delicacies, a long-awaited treat after a year of absence. The journey's dust made an impromptu visit to the restroom necessary before I could fully enjoy the meal. There, amidst the comforts of home cuisine, we reveled in dishes that spoke of familiarity and nostalgia, far removed from the Alu Parathas that had become our staple abroad.

This dichotomy has been a subject of debate since ancient civilizations, yet remains unresolved. However, it's crucial to examine our dietary habits critically. Meat, ingrained in our culture and meals, poses a paradox. It reflects the natural food chain and biological necessities that have shaped our evolution. Imagining a world where humans are outnumbered by animals like pigs, hens, and cows challenges our perceptions of the natural order.
