I'm haven't seen a lot of anime but the ones that I have seen which are usually battle shounens and all the MCs hardly ever eat vegetables, meats are always on the menu for these characters. So I was just wondering if it is a cultural thing or something else.  |
| Every Japanese person clearly eats like Goku. The average household grocery list for their weekly shopping trip: |
 |
| Of course there aren't. Every girl sounds like they inhaled helium as well. |
| Me! I can not eat meat....... I usually eat snacks which is not healthy... |

 no there aren't they don't exist, not only in japan, they do not exist at all, vegetarians are a lie made up by the Illuminati. not sure if you are serious or if this is 100% shitposting |
| While they do exist, vegetarians are in much lower numbers in Japan compared to the west. If you include fish, it's virtually impossible to get away from meat over there unless you exclusively cook all your own meals. Coincidentally, this question was asked on Anime News Network only a day ago. |

Vegeta approve this post, vegetarianjin is thing and legit now |
 la critique de l'intention pure |
| yea there obviously isnt a single vegetarian in the entire continent of Japan |

| There are some, but they aren't very common. Most vegetarians in Japan eat that way because they are Buddhist and it is against their religion. I've seen at least a few jokes in anime about vegetarians since most Japanese people eat fish commonly and eat beef and pork as well but in smaller quantities (which is how people should be eating meat). There are even some groups in Japan who are almost vegan but still eat fish. If we pretend that fish are plants then probably a solid 10% of Japanese people are vegetarian. |

| Yes, I've heard that they have vegetarian ramen in some documentary I saw once. |
| http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/answerman/2016-10-24/.108015 No, Japan is not really friendly to vegans or vegetarians. |
 |
| Of course, even vegans, but not so many as in the west and their diets are generally different. Most native Japanese people who are vegetarian probably studied abroad or something. If you're a foreigner and don't know any Japanese then it's quite hard to know what's vegetarian and what's not, because fish flakes, pork fat, and gelatin can be used on otherwise vegetarian products/ dishes. You can at least say that there are some great vegetarian or usually-vegetarian dishes though, and because dairy isn't used too much, many vegetarian things are also vegan. Stores with foreign imports, vegetarian speciality restaurants, indian restaurants, buddhist restaurants, pizza, just buying and cooking vegetables/ noodles/ rice, they're the safest options. Being a pescatarian, or just not worrying about fish flakes, is a lot easier. Fish is more of a staple than other meats, and there are always fish options, or things with fish stock/ flakes. |

| Yes but it's hard for anyone who doesn't cook or isn't a monk (they get a vegan diet at the temple they work for) to be a vegan. Vegetarians that aren't lacto-oval or Pescatarian also have trouble in Japan unless they know how to cook. |

|
| well, the japanese monks (buddhist) are vegans.. |
| It's mostly rice, poultry, seafood and veggies in Japan. Beef and pork are delicacy because land for raising them is limited. |
