More British veggies than Americans

by David Allen on Tuesday, September 4th, 2007

The veggie way of life is taking the UK by storm, with almost twice as many Brits taking to the veggie lifestyle as there are Americans and that’s official!

According to a report by Mintel around five to six percent of the UK population are vegetarian, in the states the figure is only 2.3 per cent. It seems that being a veggie in America is not as hip as what it used to be.

The figure for animals being killed for food has fallen in line with demand in the UK, the figures show that the slaughter of animals is at an all time low, meaning that there were 20 million chickens, 2 million turkeys and 70,000 pigs not killed for food, until next year that is.
