HEALTH: OBSESSED WITH BEAUTY??
According to a new
Harris Interactive study commissioned
by the Vegetarian Resource Group, the number of vegans in the United States has
doubled since 2009 to 2.5% of the population. An amazing 7.5 million U.S.
citizens now eat vegan diets that do not include any animal products – no meat,
poultry, fish, dairy or eggs. Close to 16 million, or 5%, identify as
vegetarian, never eating meat, poultry or fish.If this rate continues, vegans will be
10% of the U.S. population in 2015, 40% in 2019, and in 80 % in 2021! This
would mean an end to the exploitation and suffering of billions of farmed
animals. The study also revealed that 33% of U.S. citizens are eating
vegetarian meals a significant amount of the time and ordering vegetarian meals
at restaurants, though they are not vegetarians. That is over 100 million
people, one third of the country!
Interestingly, the demographic breakdown
of the study discovered that it was equal percentages of Democrats and
Republicans eating vegetarian. Perhaps these two parties CAN agree on
something- the vegan lifestyle is healthy and compassionate. Conscientious
eating is going mainstream so if you haven’t already, reduce or eliminate your
consumption of animal products- everyone’s doing it!
