Wondering how your country compares to the rest of the world
when it comes to vegetarianism?
Or maybe you are looking for a veg-friendly place to visit?
These top 8 countries are some of the best places in the world to be vegetarian.
INDIA
India is considered one of the most vegetarian-friendly countries
in the world because the Hindu religion (which the majority of India’s
1.2 billion people follow) preaches against the eating of meat.
Some Hindus do eat meat, but vegetarians still make up a
vast part (20-42%) of the Indian population.
While some dairy products like ghee do factor heavily into Indian cuisine,
it is easy to find pure vegan food in India.
Let’s just hope you can handle the spiciness!
ISRAEL
As a Jewish country, the State of Israel has strict rules about keeping food kosher.
The rules about keeping kosher are rather complex but,
in a nutshell, involve keeping meat and dairy separate.
They can’t even be served on the same plates.
This makes it really easy to find vegetarian food
because certified kosher eateries can only serve meat or dairy,
but never both. If you visit a museum in Jerusalem, for example,
the museum café will be dived into meat and dairy
sides so the dishes don’t intermingle.
Since Israelis spend so much time thinking about their food
and how it was made, it isn’t too surprising that so many
of them are vegetarians. Depending on which report you go by,
anywhere from 5-10% of Israelis consider themselves
vegetarians and many of them are vegans.
Even non-vegetarians often eat a veggie diet since the national foods
include vegan dishes like falafel, couscous, hummus, babaganoush, and tabbouleh.
TAIWAN
About 35% of Taiwan’s 23 million people are Buddhists.
Because of this religious influence, vegetarianism is very common in Taiwan.
According to reports, about 13% of the population follows a vegetarian diet.
There are strict rules for how vegetarian food must be labeled and some
of the traditional foods are vegetarian, like dried tofu and vegetable dumplings.
There are thousands of veg-friendly eateries throughout Taiwan.
A word of warning to veg travelers in Taiwan though:
watch out for fish sauce lurking in otherwise-vegetarian dishes!
JAMAICA
Jamaicans may be famous for their jerk and seafood,
but they are also known for Rastafarianism.
People following this religion believe that, in order to spiritually grow,
they must eliminate meat and animal products from their diet.
Thus, Rastafarian food (which is called ital) is strictly vegetarian and many
Rastafarians stick to a purely vegan diet.
You won’t have any trouble finding delicious vegan food in Jamaica,
like spicy coconut milk curries, minced veggies in bok choy leaves,
or beans in tropical sauces.
BELGIUM
A small country of about 11 million people,
Belgium is very veg-friendly.
Not only do they have lots of vegetarian restaurants in their major cities,
but in 2009 the Belgium city of Ghent became the first city in
the world to celebrate a “weekly veggie day.”
Their reason for promoting vegetarianism was to raise awareness
about the environmental impact of eating meat.
GERMANY
When it comes to vegetarianism,
Germany doesn’t usually get the recognition it is due.
According to a recent survey, 9% of Germans are vegetarians.
This is a smaller amount than found in Sweden and Italy
(10% of the population in both of these countries are vegetarian).
However, finding vegan food is usually lot easier in Germany than
in Sweden or Italy, especially in cities like Berlin.
Happycow shows 239 vegetarian and vegan eateries in Germany.
“Accidentally vegan” food like falafel is easy to find on the streets.
And even Oktoberfest – an event which traditionally only included
meat dishes like snitzel – now has vegan fare.
UK
While the UK might not have the highest percentage
of vegetarians in Europe (somewhere between 2-11% of UK adults
are vegetarian, depending on which survey you go by),
it is still one of the easiest places to be veg.
Many people in the UK are taking the “flexitarian” approach
to diet and trying to reduce the amount of meat they eat.
This has created a huge demand for vegetarian products and they
can be readily found across the country.
US
If you live in the Midwest or South, you might not feel
like the US is very veg-friendly. But head into one of the major cities
in the Northeast or California and you will find a huge selection
of vegan restaurants (including cheap eateries and upscale dining).
Vegetarianism is spreading around the country
to the point where a recent survey found that 13% of the population
identifies as vegetarian or vegan.
You can find vegan staples like soy milk in major supermarkets
around the country and yummy meat substitutes like
Beyond Meat are becoming available at more retailers,
including Whole Foods and Sprouts Farmers Markets.

嗯 英文翻譯不夠流利請見諒^^
想知道你的國家相比世界其他地區，當談到素食？
或者，也許你正在尋找參觀一個素食友好的地方？ 世界上最好的頂級8個國家是素食主義者。
印度
印度被認為是最素食友好的國家在世界之一，
因為印度教（其中大部分印度12十億人遵循）宣揚對肉類的飲食。
一些印度教徒做吃肉，但素食者還是彌補了印度人口的龐大的一部分（20-42％）。
而像酥油一些乳製品做到的因素大舉進入印度菜，很容易找到純粹的素食主義者的食品在印度。
讓我們只希望你能處理好辣！
以色列
作為一個猶太國家，以色列國擁有大約保持食物猶太嚴格的規定。
關於保持潔淨的規則相當複雜，但概括地說，涉及保持肉類和乳製品區分開來。
他們甚至不能送達同一板塊。 這使得它很容易找到素食，
因為認證的猶太餐館只能滿足肉類或奶製品，但從來沒有兩者。
如果你訪問耶路撒冷博物館，例如，博物館咖啡廳將跳入肉類和奶製品等雙方的菜不要混為一談。
既然以色列人花那麼多時間來考慮他們的食物和它是如何做，這是不是太奇怪，
所以很多人都是素食主義者。 根據該報告，你去了，
從以色列人的5-10％的任何地方認為自己是素食主義者，
其中許多人是素食主義者。 即使非素食者經常吃素食的飲食，因為國家食品包括像沙拉三明治，
方便麵，豆沙，babaganoush和塔布勒沙拉的素食菜餚。
台灣

有成千上萬的素食友好的餐館在台灣。 警告以蔬菜旅客在台灣，雖然一個字：
注意另有素食菜餚魚露潛伏！
牙買加
牙買加人可能是著名的為他們挺舉和海鮮，但他們也被稱為拉斯特法裡。
下面這個宗教的人認為，為了精神上的成長，他們必須消除肉類和動物產品從他們的飲食。
因此，拉斯特法裡的食物（即所謂ITAL）是嚴格的素食主義者，
許多拉斯特法裡崇拜者堅持一個純粹的素食。
你不會有任何麻煩找到美味的素食食品在牙買加，喜歡吃辣的椰奶咖哩，
在白菜葉剁碎的蔬菜，豆類或熱帶醬汁。
比利時
一個小國的約11萬人，比利時非常素食友好。 他們不僅有很多素食餐館在他們的主要城市，
但在2009年的比利時根特市成為世界上第一個城市慶祝“每週素食一天。”
他們的理由，提倡素食是為了提高人們對環境吃肉的影響。
德國
當談到素食，德國通常不會得到認可它是因為。 根據最近的一項調查顯示，
德國9％，是素食主義者。
這是一個較小的金額在瑞典和意大利比發現（佔總人口的10％，在這兩個國家是素食主義者）。
然而，找到的素食食物通常是更容易在德國比在瑞典和意大利，尤其是在像柏林這樣的城市。
Happycow顯示德國239素食和素食餐館。 “不小心素食主義者”食物，
如沙拉三明治是很容易找到，
在街道上。 甚至啤酒節-傳統上只包括肉類菜餚，如snitzel事件-現在有素食主義者的票價。
英國聯合王國
而英國可能不會有素食主義在歐洲的比例最高（英國成年人介於2-11％是素食主義者，
這取決於你的調查由去），它仍然是最容易的地方之一是蔬菜。 很多人在英國所走的
“flexitarian”的方法來減肥，盡量減少肉他們吃的量。 這為素食產品的巨大需求，
他們可以在全國各地很容易找到。
美國
如果你住在美國中西部和南部，你可能不覺得，美國是非常素食友好。
但頭到各大中城市的東北或加州的一個，你會發現一個巨大的選擇素食主義者餐廳
