veganism: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veganism|||In Israel, practicing lacto-ovo vegetarianism is relatively easy, due to Jewish dietary laws, or kosher laws. Kosher food cannot contain pork or shellfish, and meat and dairy cannot be combined in any way. As a result, most kosher restaurants serve either only dairy or only meat, along with bread, vegetables, fruits, etc. Fish, however, is not considered to be meat under Jewish laws, so it may be served in "dairy" restaurants. Nonetheless, the "dairy" restaurants are usually a very safe bet for ovo-lacto-vegetarians. For vegans, falafel, hummus, and other plant-based Mediterranean foods are a good option. They can be easily found almost anywhere in Israel, and are very popular among Israelis. Additionally, all products marked as "Kosher-Parve" are usually suitable for vegans as this labeling means that there are no milk or meat ingredients in the product. However, Parve products may contain eggs or fish ingredients, which are not suitable for vegans. Challah and some other kinds of bread also contain eggs. In Israel there is also one completely vegetarian moshav (village) - Amirim. The EVU (4) also cites a study done by the Israeli Ministry of Health that claims 8.5 percent of the Israeli population, or 595,000 people, are vegetarian, which is an impressive figure. The Israeli Ministry of Health is a legitimate source, but no copy of the survey could be found. Israel, at 8.5%, has the world's second largest percent of vegetarians, http://www.submityourarticle.com/article鈥?/a>|||Hard to find reliable statistics about veganism in Israel. Keep in mind that Israel is a multicultural multi-ethnic third world country. Generally speaking veganism goes well with the Jewish dietary so you should expect it to be some how spreading mainly among religious people, For comparison with countries that has statistics available,less than 1% of the Americans and 0.5% of the Brits are.vegetarians http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetariani鈥?/a>|||Not as widespread as Homosexuality. I am currently looking into the raw food diet. Everything I grow can be eaten straight from the garden, but I love meat, and you have to cook it. If I had the money, I would replace red meat with sushi.|||I seriously don't know. I think they might have a pretty substantial amount of vegans in their country; at least, it wouldn't surprise me. I just know it exists, and I believe that it's somewhat successful a movement in Israel.|||Probably just as many as there are in America or Europe. I don't see why there would be an unusually high/low number of them there compared to in other countries.|||veganism is great arseus zionism on the other hand should be dealt with like the plague capiche|||As widespread as those on a low carb diet.
