Which African countries have the largest numbers of vegetarians/vegans?
I am seriously interested in this for research purposes. Please, please, please do not reply by saying "I don't know," or, "Why should it matter?"
And please do not respond with ethical/political arguments, such as "How would you like to live in the third world?" or "Have you ever tried living in Africa?" etc.
Please be assured that I am asking as part of a wider exploration, including google searches, etc, and would really appreciate hearing from anyone who knew, particularly the African veggies themselves!
Answers:
Probably South Africa it has the most forward thinking people.
South Africa. With the larger proportion of Europeans, it has a higher number who are vegetarian.
maybe Ethiopia cause a lot of Ethiopian dishes are vegetarian, they use alot of vegetarian friendly foods like curry for flavor and lentils and veggies and more.

I've never heard of anyone taking a census of veggies in Africa. However per the IVU they only show 23 veggie organizations there. Uganda has two if that means anything!
Here's a link to the IVU, mayhaps you can contact some of these organizations for more detailed information.
Many of the vegan or almost vegan African restaurants around here are Ethiopian.
