Vegetarianism in the United States

The Vegetarian Times conducted a study to find the amount of Americans who follow a vegetarian diet. The website states, "Data for this survey were collected by the Harris Interactive Service Bureau on behalf of Vegetarian Times. The poll surveyed 5,050 respondents, a statistically representative sample of the total U.S. population." The graphs below represent the data found in this study.

The idea of a Vegetarian Inclined diet is that you will lessen the amount of meats in your diet, but not necessarily cut them out completely. This has been a controversial subject because it raises the question if this idea can really change the entire meat industry. 


The study showed that about 11.9 million people are interested in following a vegetarian-based diet.

The article posted on the website states that the Vegetarian sector is one of the fastest growing categories in the food publishing industry.
