Vegetarians?

Many nice ones I've met but I'll nver forget that extremely naive young German woman vegetarian I met in a train. She was just traveling back from an airport. She had come back from Iceland after a few days there where she had planned to stay for a year in a family in the very North of Iceland. She had looked forward to that year and was devasteted the first evening at dinner table when potatoes were the only non-meat on the table. When she was asking she was told that during winter time there would be weeks with only meat or fish and no alternative at all. She had to give up Iceland or being vegetarian. She gave up Iceland. I am still amazed that she didn't think of that problem before for even a tiny bit of reading about living conditions in Iceland would have told her of that problem.

Why do I tell this? There are regions in the world where you cannot be vegetarian (except at a very high cost for the environment due to unneccessary transport) and there are regions where you can easily.
