Well, if my memory serves me right vegetarianism came in vogue in India 
at the time of Ashoka. The Buddha only prohibited monks to eat meat of 
animals slaughtered only on behalf of them.
I must say I cannot find much sympathy fore those naïve kids who think 
they can live without leaving a footprint. And the excuse that drinking 
milk is stealing from a calf is just turning nature into private 
property, which is stupid.
