Surely diet is directly related to environment.
The hunter gatherers of colder climates eat more meat than their cousins from warmer climes. It's all about what's available, how sustainable it is and in what amounts.
Hence the shell middens of the shore dwellers.
Another point to consider is the ritual aspect that hunting plays in many cultures. One clue to this is the antler frontlets found at Star Carr.
The hunt is often portrayed in rock art throughout the world.
Surely the aims of pastoralism was to have your meat/milk/skin/bone larder close to hand.
