What percent of the world population is vegitarian?!


Question:

What percent of the world population is vegitarian?

Just wondering


Answers:
USA: 2.8 PERCENT IN 2003

In 1994 and 1997, The VRG asked a similar question in a Roper Poll. The number of vegetarians then was about 1 percent, and the number of non-meat eaters was between 5 and 6 percent. We were told then, in future surveys, we could only be sure of a definite statistical movement if the percentages changed by 3 or more percentage points. Our jump to 2.8 percent cannot indicate a trend. In our 2000 national Zogby Poll of 968 adults, about 2.5 percent of the population was vegetarian. So, we have some evidence there has been some permanent movement; however, these differences still fall within the margin of error for each poll

1% the gay percent

over 75%

Considering India holds 1/6 of the world's popluation and it is more than half vegetarian. That would make it at least 8% worldwide. That is not counting the 3% in America or the large groups of Asians in China and other countries.

I think we would clear 15% if we could measure accurately.
