ARE THERE MANY VEGETARIANS IN THE U.K

VEGETARIANISM IS MORE POPULAR THAN EVER BEFORE AND IT IS CONTINUING TO GROW AT AN ASTONISHING RATE. IN FACT, DURING THE LAST TEN YEARS THE NUMBER OF VEGETARIANS IN THE UK HAS MORE THAN DOUBLED.

THERE ARE CURRENTLY ABOUT FOUR MILLION VEGETARIANS IN THE UK, REPRESENTING SOME SEVEN PER CENT OF THE POPULATION. AMONGST YOUNGER PEOPLE, THAT FIGURE RISES TO 12 PER CENT. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT A REMARKABLE 41 PER CENT OF PEOPLE IN THE UK ARE NOW INCLUDING FAR LESS MEAT IN THEIR DIET.
IN THE UK ALONE, APPROXIMATELY FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE EACH WEEK ARE CHOOSING TO GIVE MEAT A MISS AND JOIN THE VEGGIE REVOLUTION.
IF SUCH TRENDS WERE TO CONTINUE, IT IS ESTIMATED THAT BY THE YEAR 2030 EVERYONE IN THE UK WILL BE A VEGETARIAN.
VEGETARIANISM HAS ALREADY MADE A MAJOR IMPACT IN THE UK AND CONTINUES TO DO SO. GO INTO ALMOST ANY RESTAURANT, FAST FOOD OUTLET, CAFÉ, SUPERMARKET OR LOCAL SHOP; PICK UP ANY NEWSPAPER OR MAGAZINE, OR WATCH A TV COOKERY PROGRAMME; LISTEN TO CELEBRITIES FROM THE WORLD OF ENTERTAINMENT, POLITICS, SPORT OR LITERATURE; SPEAK TO YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS, AND CHANCES ARE YOU WILL DISCOVER JUST HOW WIDE RANGING THIS REMARKABLE SUCCESS STORY IS -- THE STILL UNFOLDING TALE OF A DIET WHICH IS FAR BETTER FOR ANIMALS, BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND BETTER FOR HUMAN HEALTH.


"NOTHING WILL BENEFIT HUMAN HEALTH AND INCREASE CHANCES FOR SURVIVAL OF LIFE ON EARTH AS MUCH AS THE EVOLUTION TO A VEGETARIAN DIET."


ALBERT EINSTEIN (1879 - 1955) - PHYSICIST AND THEORIST
