Real Ahimsa should be alround and not restricted merely to food. A non vegetarin may be quite non violent and a vegetrain may be quite inhuman. The jaws have made travesty of fasts. They take dried vegetables and refuse to clean teeth or take bath while doing all other things including Himsa. That is not real Ahimsa.
