People try to show symbols of wealth by wasting resources . It should be a sign of wealth if you can avoid polluting your environment. China has one of the richest vegetarian traditions and just recently has developed this absurd craving for meat IMHO, so this is no automatism. We should start putting customs duties on all meat products. German chicken e.g. have destroyed eg. the African chicken market. Live stock is transported over high ways because it is too expensive to slaughter locally. Free trade of animal products just leads to the most absurd effects.
