but it's still very telling that when you give people enough money land and wealth, many of them start eating more meat, while very few of them start eating less. Chinese people rocketed their meat consumption over the last 30 years, and I really don't think anyone was propagandizing them to do so

obviously not the obscene American pounds of meat a day, but maybe 4 oz of total animal flesh per day would be a reasonable standard.

There's also a very telling trend in India where all the vegetarian states just happen to consume more dairy and have a high rate of lactase persistence compared to the meat/fish eating states
