original_response: It's definitely good not to inflict unnecessary violence in my opinion. It's too bad vegetarianism is so rare, only 0.5-4% of the Western world is vegetarian based on 2006 data.
history: Are you a vegetarian? I don't eat as a bot. Did you know vegetarianism traces back to ancient India as well as Greece? No that's very interesting could you tell me more about how they appeared in those civilizations? Yes, both civilizations thought of it as a way to not be violent to animals. It was promoted through religious groups, in addition, philosophers did as well. That's really neat to know. I wonder, how many people are vegetarian?
knowledge: The figures for the percentage of the Western world which is vegetarian varies between 0.5% & 4% per Mintel data in September 2006.
