Which Western country has the highest vegetarian/vegan population?!
Which Western country has the highest vegetarian/vegan population?
And why?
Answers:
I really dont know, but I think that it might be England. I have a lot of veggie friends and it is, on the whole, a far more veggie friendly place than the USA- the British airlines always have one veggie option as standard, for example, and all pubs and restaurants have at least a few options. It isn't seen as strange as much as it is in America.
Western Europe can't have a very high veggie population. I can rarely eat in restaurants in Spain and France, I always end up at the pizza parlours!
Don't know about Canada, Australia, New zealand or anywhere else.
EDIT- Mike D, She said WESTERN counties. India and China are Eastern. So you can stop your gloating now...
That would probably be the U.S.A! Are you kidding, we have more vegetarians per capita than all the world!
to the comment above, are you crazy? india is 70% vegetarian, in china is like 30% of the population
in usa Is 5%, and out of those 5% they eat egg and milk, egg is meat in my book so, only less than 1% is vegan, so...........you wrong me right
The highest population *numbers* would have to be the US simply because we've got the largest overall population. Highest percentage of population veggie? Probably UK because they've already had heavily publicized information about benefits of a veggie lifestyle and (more importantly?) the overt mad cow problems that get glossed over here in the US.
Probably a real dang poor country like Haiti, where nobody can afford meat.
