the news: India’s government is advising pregnant women to avoid all meat, eggs and lustful thoughts.
Malnutrition and anaemia, or iron deficiency, are key factors behind India having one of the world’s highest rates of maternal mortality, with 174 of every 100,000 pregnancies resulting in the mother’s death in 2015. That’s better than five years earlier, when the maternal mortality rate was 205 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births, but still far worse than China’s 27 per 100,000 or the United States’ 14 per 100,000, according to Unicef.

Why does the India's government choose to ignore the scientific facts and put in danger the lives of mothers and babies?
Is it lack of common sense or something else?
