Do more men or women tend to be vegetarians/vegans?!


Question: Do more men or women tend to be vegetarians/vegans!?
I have noticed that, of all the vegetarians/vegans I know, the overwhelming majority of them tend to be female rather than male!. I haven't investigated any gender correlation when it comes to the reasons for that culinary choice!.

If this is true of you and your acquaintances, any ideas as to why!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Well !.!. the common myth is, that men like meat more than women do!.

Women tend to think more about being healthy, than men - in genral!

In reality I think it's connected to the gender-specific abilities - to act in the moment and to plan ahead!. Men are good at acting in a split-second, when they have to, but not very good at planning ahead!.

Everyone knows that eating a lot of meat isn't good for your health!. Women are just better at applying that information to their lives, and seing the bigger picture!.

Women will think: well, if I want to be healthy 10 years from now, I have to live healthy now!. It'll pay off in the long run!.

Men will think: well, if my health gets worse, I can always cut back on the meat!. But for now, I'll eat all I want!.

It seems that most veg*ans are females and white, but there are a lot of men veg*ans out there and veg*ans of all races and ages!. It is said that about 57% or females, the other 43% are males, so there are a bit more females that are, but there certainly are tons of men out there that are veg*ans!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

In my opinion, it's about 50 - 50!. However, it could be that some men are reluctant to go vegetarian because somehow it is perceived as being kind and peaceful and in harmony with things as opposed to always putting on the tough-guy image that males in our culture are expected to put on!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Many year ago I read in Vegetarian Times that 80% of veggies are female!. I have no idea if this fact has changed!. If you look at who VT is slanted towards I would say the percentage still heavily leans in the female direction!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

ive noticed that too, but i dont really know many vegans/vegetarians!.
im a vegan, and know one other, wh ois also a girl!. and i know 2 vegetarians, both girlsWww@FoodAQ@Com

If you go to local veg society meeting, health food shops, or farmers markets you will meet more veggie men!. Yahoo Answers seems to be 90% women in almost very category!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
