It's a very small world now, although it seems smaller than it is because we all swim in schools. So everywhere we go we tend to be attracted to the same places other people like us to go as well, a surprising percentage of who we've met before. I'm sure I could go to parts of my own city, perhaps to some place like where bart13 lives, or parts of Florida where John Vosilla lives, and not see even one familiar face because they're not part of my school of fish. These subcultures live in places I must instinctively avoid. I'm curious about your reference to vegetarians in your last sentence. Is that suddenly becoming popular among people in the school of fish you swim with? One restaurant we go to in Los Angeles, Hugos which used to be a veal market, can make many of the menu items with chicken, beef or tofu, so there must be some market for tofu and veganism. But I suspect it's much like "vegans" in Berlin who eat vegetarian with friends once a month at a trendy vegan restaurant while they stuff their mouths with pork during all other meals. I think vegans are much like gold bugs. A harmless hobby among certain bored people who need a hobby. One group collects vegetable recipes, the other collect little bits of particular metals. Just so long as neither affliction peculiarity develops into full-blown hoarders there's probably no reason for mental healthcare intervention.
