Vegetarianism is being now seen internationally as some 'new' scientific discovery by the West while its been the mainstay of our civilisation since its early times.
Vegetarianism is though, not a standard or absolute practice amongst the dhArmika people as many communities including brAhmaNa from kAshmIra, vanga, mithila, gokarNa, kAmarUpa etc traditionally partake mutton & fish in their normal diet.
Food is classified as sAttvika, rAjasika & tAmasika and most of the vegetarian products fall under sAttvika excluding a few while meat is classified amongst tAmasika or even rAjasika as per the doctrines.
This takes me back to the 'scientific discovery' by west. Well, science has only corroborated what's proven & practiced for millennia.
Personally, i would prefer not only dhArmika people but also all humans to not consume meat, barring exceptional circumstances. And aquatic/Sea food? Maybe yes, for those in certain geographies.
