there are numerous parameters to consider on this kind of topic.
you leaning into some particular culture does not make it the way a individual will change. don't make it so complex.
it is more of a context than a rigid self one, i think. Also I think what you are doing is fine unless you want to change it yourself(which you could have realised already by now).
Well, it is nice to have knowledge that there are people of different personalities and it may not be what you are trying to think it could be.
One of my doctors told me that many of his vegetarian patients were dying from heart disease due to the amount of starch in their diet. A starchy diet is relatively inexpensive and tasty but if you are not careful you can eat too much of it and quickly gain weight.
I suspect that this is the reason people are dying from heart disease in south Asia.
