In a national survey commissioned by\nThe Vegetarian Resource Group and conducted online by The Harris Poll among\nmore than 2,000 U.S. adults, we asked the following question in 2016 and once\nagain in March 7-11, 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which of the following, if any, best\ndescribes your eating behavior?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We considered those who never eat\nmeat, fish, seafood, or poultry; plus those who never eat meat, fish, seafood,\npoultry, dairy, or eggs, as vegetarian. We classified that second category of\nvegetarians who don’t eat dairy or eggs also as vegan. Because we use the word\n“never” and don’t just ask if a person considers him\/herself\nvegetarian, our numbers may be lower than others. Be wary of comparing to polls\nin other countries that ask if you are vegetarian or vegan, since people may\nself-define differently. We did not ask about honey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Forty-six percent of the U.S. adult\npopulation always or sometimes eats vegetarian meals when eating out. Twenty\npercent of U.S. adults always or sometimes eat vegan meals when eating out.\nFour percent of American adults are vegetarian (including vegans) all the time,\nand half of the vegetarians are vegan (2%). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
