Where can I get demographics for vegans and vegetarians?
I’m doing a business plan project for my business class and I need supporting info.
Thanks

Hello,

My name is Joe, I am 31 years old and my wife and I are both vegans. We are in the minority as we have become vegans primarily for health reasons. We are both athletes and enjoy working out. During my transition to veganism I lost a lot of bodyfat, and actually gained muscle mass. So much for the skinny weak vegan myth.

All the best everyone!!!!

Joe

Hi vernon, Thanks for the book recommendation. We've actually read it and Diet for a New America. Very informative! I don't have any statistics on global veganism, or specifically Japan. However, googling around, I did find the following two sites, which seem to have info on vegan restaurants in Japan. Hope that helps. Japan Wiki; and Japan Times, old article with list of restaurants. You might also want to search for vegan meetups in your area... where you can find like minded people!

hi from a vegan living in japan, (australian)
im a guy ,25 years. (the elusive creature)
just felt like browsing vegan demographics on google since i am the only vegan i know in japan. what is the world’s vegan/vegetarian population do you know any numbers? Japan is very low but I heard 3 000 000 vegan/veg in the UK and 10 000 000 in the US.
I read a cool book that you might want to read too-john robbins-the food revolution

Hi Kate,
Don’t despair… Jane made a vegan out of me. Perhaps you’ll do the same with your future spouse?

Hi Voracious,
We thought it was rather interesting too.

Hi Christina,
Yes, I’m sure climate change and environmentalism will become more important motivations over the next few decades.

Hi vegangirl,
Sorry, the Vegan Project didn’t have any data on vegetarians, but wikipedia has a bunch of data that might be of interest to you.

Do you have any stats on vegetarians? Would love to see those in comparison to vegans!

Prior to the advent of modern “farming” practices (factory farms, etc. which I don’t consider farming at all), I’d be willing to bet that most vegans were that way for mostly religious or dietary needs, not moral or ethical issues. It’s kind of interesting to see the difference 100 years or so will make to the mind set of people.

So my theory that the vegan male is an elusive creature is backed up with facts…

Looks like I’m so average – female, under 35, vegan for ethical/moral reasons and became vegan between the ages of 16-34 (29 to be exact).
