Anomalies aside, it would be interesting to observe correlations between a largely ( >51% ) non-vegetarian diet and athletic predisposition and performance.
Holding every other factor (race, geography, culture etc) constant, the exponentially greater protein availability (in meat consuming countries) cannot NOT have consequences for general muscular build among the populaces and as a consequence, some form of athletic predisposition.
A good question to start with:
Are there any predominantly vegetarian regions - besides large tracts of India - elsewhere in the world?
