Red Dot, Green Dot

All over India, there are red dots and green dots. No, I'm not talking about the red dots on people's foreheads, but rather the dots that appear on menus, billboards and food packaging. The labeling exists because a significant portion of the population is vegetarian. I also think it exists for literacy reasons. So, for those looking for meat (which is called "non-veg" cuisine), the red dot is your friend. At first, I thought they just liked the Japanese here and that's what the red dot on the white background was for.

Green Dot

The above is a bottle of Coca Cola. This apparently did not have meat.
