Anyway, i just wanted to have the details if that ever comes up again.|||United States is about 2.5% Veg in Canada it is 4%|||In 2003, a Harris Poll indicated that there are about 5.7 million vegetarians in the U.S. (I couldn't find any more recent statistics, sorry). Vegetarians do make up a pretty small percentage of the population, but many meat-eaters are interested in vegetarian foods, too. "According to ARAMARK's recent nationwide survey completed by over 100,000 college students, nearly a quarter said finding vegan meals on campus was important to them."|||According to the Vegetarian Resource Group that conducted a survey by the Harris Interactive Inc. in 2003 recorded that around 2.8% of people in the US call themselves vegetarians with up to 1.8% of people calling themselves vegan. These numbers are estimates and can be widely varied. Also, the poll found that between 30-40% of all people are in the market for vegetarian foods even though they are not vegetarian themselves.|||There are no good statistics. The numbers you hear vary widely. People have different definitions for what it means to be a vegetarian, so even if they told a pollster they were, it wouldn't mean they didn't eat poultry or fish.|||Airport counter person "It seems like everybody is vegetarian these days". Not everybody is vegetarian but it's for sure they are moving in that direction fast. It's in the air, ya might say. Tell the school board to try a veg item and see if it is popular. To what I'm seeing, people want to evolve, but they need the easy and convenient opportunity to do so, so try to get it on the menu and it will fly, fur sure.
