Stray Dogs and Indians allowed

(Genre: Just Like That)
A couple of weeks ago, a FM station (I think it was 93.5 Red FM, but not sure) in Delhi invited a veterinarian to discuss about pets, and specifically dogs.
So the RJ asks "Which type of dogs should one adopt -pedigree dogs or stray dogs?"
The esteemed guest replies as follows:
" You must have observed westerners coming to India, drinking Bisleri and yet they get sick. On the other hand, we people can go anywhere, eat and drink anything. So the pedigree dogs are like foreigners, very fragile whereas stray dogs are like us, low maintenance "
(The question and the answer might not be same verbatim but the essence has been captured)
Although the doctor seemed to be complimenting the Indian digestive system, are we expected to take this remark as a compliment? Do we Indians hold ourselves in such low esteem (like this vetrinarian)? Or am I reading too much between the lines?

Interesting. Should be taken in a lighter vien. Reminds me of reverse logic. Somebody said that the more kachra one eats, the more digestive system gets immune but the holier than thou NRI digenstions sometimes cannot even take water from here.

i call it vitamin Q
good blog post!!!!
so whats happening? where u from?
Well, I do not know about the vet., but let us not feel inferior due to the fact that we have a more robust immune system. In fact scientific research suggests that there are many auto-immune disorders which strike people in countries where high degree of hygiene / sanitation is maintained because the body's immune system does not get the opportunity for much needed sesitisation for it to work properly. A case in point is Crohnn's disease which is prevalent in developed world (esp Scandinavian countries). Another case in point, even in our country Vit. D defficiency in toddlers is seldom reported among slum dwellers/poor people but is quite prevalent when you move up the socio-economic ladder. The reason (as elucidated by a doctor)is simple enough, lack of exposure of sunlight.
