How about "Privacy is vegetarianism" instead? Just 20 years ago I'd have trouble going out for a meal in London because there was maybe one (one!) dedicated veggie restaurant in the whole city and lots of places didn't even offer an option on their menu.

* that's a wee joke… or is it? :-)

A lot of people eat vegetables tho.
