I do agree to a certain extent with the point re: economics, and I was going to say "developed" rather than "Western" above, but then I thought, no, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, they're very different when it comes to food, and India will be a developed country some day but I doubt it will then "discover" vegetarianism. I think the notion of it is very culturally specific, and then reinforced by the economic aspect.
