Poor people are easier to steal from. Thieves are attracted to a sure thing. The payout may be smaller, but the drawbacks are fewer. Not to mention, a poor person would suffer more from being victimized. Because they have less, every little thing is more.
I have a stomach disorder. And most of the foods that are triggers are fruit and vegetables. Besides that, vegetarism isn't actually easy to follow. It's harder for someone who doesn't drive, living with a family who doesn't support your views. I tried it once, but failed because my family would use it to criticise me. However, I was only 18 y.o. and more sensitive to criticism. My stomach dictates my diet. However, I don't eat meat every day. So my diet is healthier than it could be.
