Dear all !
I am vegetarian and support Vegetarian life style.
However in my opinion the food habits of different people have roots
in history and people have simply got used to eating things which
were available easily in their surroundings.
To give a simple example in our country people eat mostly rice or
wheat depending on availability of same in that region.
So I do not think everybody has a choice to be vegetarian all over
the world.
Best Regards,
