Perhaps a stranger thing to notice about vegetarian (or largely vegetarian) cultures is that they heavily exploit livestock to produce said diets, also a necessity brought about due to a lack of capital investment and infrastructure- IE they some po' folks in tha' world. Gotta have fertilizer. Those that don't heavily exploit petrochemical fertility. Bring on the suffering!
Those that do neither, well, those folks starve.
Here's a fun aside, specifically for those vegetarians among us who are going the the ethical argument bit. Why don't we eat more bugs? We could produce massive amounts of bugs without resorting to any sort of agriculture at all. In this way we could limit our reliance on harmful vegetable production and distasteful livestock production. Two birds one stone. Are we all ready to hop on-board?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
