No way, I know a fair few people who live in Petersfield. Was it godamling College, cos that's where they all seemed to go.

I really like it... I don't live there yet but from all the times I visited, I really enjoyed it. Been to London a lot and also in the country where my bf lives, it's very peaceful and nice (there are some damn big spiders though *shivers*).

Or maybe I'm just too impressed because I never had a taste of luxury.

 Well, for the most part it's fairly similar to the US, much less meat, however, and a lot more vegetarian alternatives. We're also big fans of gravy and custard. We loves our christmas pudding at, well, err... christmas.

People from the UK have recently become a lot more worried about where their food comes from, organic and free range meat and dairy products are becoming pretty much standard. Even things like shop bought mayonnaise uses organic and free range eggs nowadays.

I personally don't know anyone from there, but there is a huge amount of colleges near where I live, QMC, Alton College, Farnham College, Farnborough Tech, Guildford College, it's kinda ridiculous

That's very true and the vegetarian alternatives are actually good... They don't taste like animal food! XD Oh and my bf buys free range eggs. ^^

 A quick search on Google shows that the UK has a 5.6% vegetarian rate, the US 2.7% and Canada 4%

EDIT: The point to this post was to show that there are more vegetarian options because, simply, there are a greater proportion of vegetarians.

i feel bad when i have free range eggs becuase i feel i am ruining an age old tradion of keeping small feathered creatures in cages plus they taste so there no plus side to free range eggs

people in the uk don't really care where the food comes from just that it is there when they are hungary
