There's not much plant-life aside from fungus underground (not technically 'plant', but you get the idea), so they tend to be much more carnivorous. AKA Moar Iron in Diet. Surface elves, the paleskins, tend to be much more hippie-dippie and "in tune with nature" so they tend to be much more vegetarian-tilted, if they eat meat at all, what with the taboo about "suffering of the woodland creatures" and all.
