Per your last sentence, I'd have thought vegetarianism would be much higher amongst city dwellers.

I’ve read that vegetarianism is far less common among people who grew up on/around farms. The claimed reason was that people who grew up away from farms are heavily influenced by movies and television that anthropomorphize animals. People who grew up near farms don’t equate animals with humans so much.
