HOW MANY YOUTH ARE VEGETARIAN/VEGAN IN THE USA?

Posted on December 11, 2014 by The VRG Blog Editor

Earlier this year, The Vegetarian Resource Group did a national survey conducted by Harris Poll of more than 1,200 U.S. youth ages 8-18. We asked the following:

Which of the following, if any, best describes your eating behavior? (Just select one choice.)

    1. You never eat meat, fish, seafood, or poultry.
    2. You don’t eat meat, fish, seafood, or poultry at one meal per week.
    3. You don’t eat meat, fish, seafood, or poultry one full day per week.
    4. You don’t eat meat, fish, seafood, or poultry at many of your meals, but less than half the time.
    5. You don’t eat meat, fish, seafood, or poultry at more than half of your meals, but not all the time.
    6. You never eat meat, fish, seafood, poultry, dairy, or eggs.
    7. Not any of the above. No answer.
