Why too much choice is stressing us out
America has great options for vegetarians. In a lot of languages there isn't even a native word for vegetarian, not to mention vegan.

The English word "vegetarian" was formed in 19th century from a Latin-via-French word combined with a Latin-via-French suffix. Not quite as Old English as "meat"...

From my memory, the term for 'vegetarian' prior to ~100 years ago was 'pythagorian'.
