Actually it's the opposite.. Meat is a luxury of the wealthier societies. The poorest nations in the world are vegetarian.
Those poorest nations do not consciously restrict their diets in any way, I guarantee you

(unless for possible religious reasons)

Couldn't have said that any better.
People would kill for what we consume. Our society created "vegan/vegetarian" by having so much shit available to our disposal. It got people literally shitting their pants over eating even a carb if they are on a diet.
Part of it is definitely due to over-consumption, food waste, and food choices. Another side is animal empathy which I also understand.
