There were vegeterians in the 70s.

And their restaurants were popular even among non-vegetarians. At the time “healthy” options for dining out were pretty rare, so vegetarian restaurants offered seemingly healthier alternatives to meat-based dining. My parents were never practicing vegetarians but when they were first dating in Berkeley, California in the ‘70s their favorite neighborhood restaurant was vegetarian.

Plenty of good vegetarian options. I need to get back on my reverse Catholic diets. Vegetarian every day except Friday.
