2009年，美國人口的一小百分之一的報導吃素食或純素。
現在，美國人口的5％是素食主義者，一半的人是素食主義者。
百分比節節上升，在過去五年的研究顯示率也在節節攀升。
那麼，為什麼人們繼續吃素？究其原因，似乎涉及混合各種因素，從多少我們已經了解了商業養殖和動物治療在過去五年來的最大影響。
為什麼美國會改變
想想看，1600萬人口的國家絕對吃任何動物產品是相當驚人的，考慮到肉類，
對我們大多數文化的影響程度。大約有42％的人誰不吃動物產品的說，
他們去素食主義者，他們看到了一個教育片後。
六九％的受訪者選擇吃全素飲食，以支持動物的道德待遇
。四五％的人說他們過渡到素食主義了所有那些誰是素食主義者的時間，
並且52％的人說，他們已吃全素的不到10年。這可能是方式在全國已成為更了解我們的食品供應在過去五年的指標。（2）
哪些其他因素參與？
所有這些素食者和嚴格素食者中，絕大多數是女性。（2）
事實上，在2009年時只有100萬人全素N，那些高達79％是女性的時候。
現在，從人口的5％，百萬人報告吃素食主義者，其餘的素食主義者。
婦女仍然佔據79％的素食組％和素食組的59％。（2）
不過，素食主義不只是 女性。許多男人所做的變化以及與截至2012年，
肉類消費量下滑，從2007年大規模的12.2％，事實上，人們不只是吃素食主義者，
他們也更好奇這樣的生活了。谷歌公佈2007年至二〇一四年三倍的素食主義者的搜索！
一個搜索的“素食主義者2007”顯示，1600多的結果，而搜索“素食主義者2014”顯示，超過24,000名的成績！（3）
名人也彌補了那些誰是素食主義者或素食的顯著部分。運動員，脫口秀主持人，
千萬富翁，甚至是政治人物現在轉向到素食為主的飲食習慣或完全素食。
餐廳是由要是提供一個素食主義者或素食主菜和許多新的獨特的素食主義者餐廳也在發生變化是開放的，
現在不在身邊五年前。超市現在迎合素食者，並提供更多的素食主義者和素食產品和
在線原材料的純素食品行業一直蓬勃發展在過去的五年裡，只有持續增長。事實上，
它現在預計，到2050年，美國可能是一個“素食主義者的國家”中，有很大比例至少！（3,4）
不再是純素食主義的飲食嬉皮士和健康堅果; 據統計，現在只是住，可以幫助減少我們的生態足跡，
我們的工作同情心的肌肉一個聰明的辦法。羽衣甘藍，任何人嗎？

16 Million People in the US are Now Vegan or Vegetarian!

In 2009, a tiny one percent of the US population reported eating vegetarian or vegan. Now, 5% of the United States population is vegetarian and half of those people are vegan. The rates have skyrocketed over the last five years and studies show the rates are climbing. So why are people continuing to go veg? The reason seems to involve a mix of various factors, with the largest impact coming from how much we have learned about commercial farming and animal treatment over the last five years.
Why the United States is Going Veg…
To think that 16 million people in this country eat absolutely no animal products is pretty amazing, considering the degree to which meat has an impact on most of our culture. Approximately 42% of those who do not eat animal products say that they went vegan after they saw an educational film. Sixty-nine percent said they chose to eat a vegan diet to support the ethical treatment of animals. Forty-five percent say they transitioned into veganism over time and of all those who are vegan, 52% say they have been eating vegan for less than 10 years. This could be an indicator of the way the country has become more knowledgeable about our food supply over the last five years. (2)
Which Other Factors Are Involved?
Of all these vegetarians and vegans, the vast majority are women. (2) In fact, in 2009 when only 1 million people were veg*n, a whopping 79% of those were women at the time. Now, out of 5% of the population, one million people report eating vegan and the rest vegetarian. Women still make up 79% percent of the vegan group and 59% of the vegetarian group. (2)
But veganism isn’t just for women. Many men have made the change as well and as of 2012, meat consumption was down a massive 12.2% from 2007. In fact, people aren’t just eating vegan, they’re also more curious about this way of life too. Google reported a three-fold increase in vegan searches from 2007 to 2014! A search for “vegan 2007″ showed over 1,600 results while a search for “vegan 2014″ showed over 24,000 results! (3)
Celebrities also make up a significant portion of those who are vegan or vegetarian. Athletes, talk show hosts, millionaires, and even political figures are now turning to a veggie-based diet or a completely vegan diet. Restaurants are also changing by either offering a vegan or vegetarian entree and many new exclusive vegan restaurants are open now that weren’t around five years ago. Supermarkets now cater to vegans and offer more vegan or vegetarian products and the online raw vegan food industry has been thriving the last five years and only continues to grow. In fact, it’s now estimated that by 2050, America may be a “vegan country”, at least by a large percentage! (3,4)
No longer is veganism the diet for hippies and health nuts; according to statistics, it’s now just a smart way to live that can help decrease our ecological footprint and works our compassion muscles. Kale, anyone?
