> Meanwhile, in India and plenty of other places, are those that actually are vegetarian, having grown up that way and not indoctrinated at a young age into the meat eating cult.
Isn't vegetarianism in India at least originally a... religious thing?
I am under the impression that anywhere you can raise animals, you can grow vegetables for fewer resources. There isn't anywhere that can sustain raising animals for slaughter but cannot be vegetarian instead.
Consider it this way: the animals you're raising for slaughter still need something to eat. Work your way down the food chain and you have to hit plants at some point.
