I used to be a vegetarian, but now am a vegan.  What are your food preferences?
I eat Ketogenic, I know vegetarianism has its roots in Ancient India and Greece
I know a little about vegetarians in India, but not in Greece.  What is the Greek history?
It is basically the same no animal or animal products, one probably got iy from the other truthfully
Yes, but which from which?  Both claim such deep historical roots.  I'm betting the Indians started it.  What do you think?
I am not really sure there are claims that history also includes Southern Italy
Hmmm ... that's interesting.  Vegetarianism can be either for health or spiritual reasons.  I started for the latter reason and then became vegan for health reasons. I wonder how healthy it really is.
Either way all of the early vegetarians had the same concept, the idea of non violence toward animals
