> Wait, when people (mainly Americans) say "Mediterranean diet" do they think it's mainly a vegetarian one?

No. They think it's less meat-heavy than the typical American diet. (Or less of a "meat fest," I guess you could say.)

From the Mayo Clinic[0]:

"Plant-based foods, such as whole grains, vegetables, legumes, fruits, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices, are the foundation of the diet. Olive oil is the main source of added fat.

"Fish, seafood, dairy and poultry are included in moderation. Red meat and sweets are eaten only occasionally."

That makes more sense, coca-cola until very, very recently (my generation is still a bit mixed about it) was considered a "kids' drink", not something adults would drink because it's too sweet.

It's so funny, just a few years ago I would have read Mayo Clinic and took it seriously.
