I'm amazed too!. It's like a revolution of some sort!.
We have been living the life of gluttony (in N!. America especially)!. Such gluttony is not sustainable!. We get sicker and sicker!. Resources start to dwindle!. We have sucked many water supplies dry!. The poor countries and the slaves we have been using to fuel our luxurious lifestyle are not enjoying themselves and are fighting back!. Meat and dairy are highly subsidized to reduce the prices -- subsidized by the taxpayers -- while vegetable, nut, and grain etc!. farmers receive no such help!. The real cost of a pound of low grade beef is estimated to cost roughly $40 US without any subsidization!. This system is failing (it was doomed from the start), prices are rising, people are educating themselves and realizing the truth about their food and where it comes from and the effect has not only on their health, but on the environment, the economy, the animals, etc!. Sure, we could go back to just eating less meat, but in times such as these, people are willing to go all the way; to do the complete opposite -- become vegan or vegetarian, buying local and organic, growing their own food, using enviro friendly cleaning products etc!., recycling, and so on!. The power is with the people!. The consumers have the power to shut down ANY company, no matter how big -- we just stop buying their products, and things are changing!. The real question is, is it a trend the will die off as quickly as it has grown!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

People are becoming more educated and are starting to fulfill their own personal beliefs about things!. Now people are starting to express what they think is right over what society thinks!. the world is becoming more unique and people are starting to think for themselves is my theory why!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It is not really a shift in diet all over the world just westernized cultures!. Most of the world eats a primary vegetarian diet because it is what they can afford!. The numbers are still extremely small relatively speaking in places like Europe, the USA etc!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
The world's population is increasing!. It's just simple math!. If you're implying that the % is increasing you'd need to present something to legitimize that inference!. If you cannot, what do you base your assumption on!?
LOL!.!.!.thumbs down!.!.!.just show me the #'s and I'm convinced!.!.!.!.what's so hard about that!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

im not sure, for some it is a religion thing, for some it is a trend, for some it is because their parents are veggies, for some it because they are scared to eat meat, health wise, and for others it is because they cant stand to eat an animal
i hoped this helpedWww@FoodAQ@Com

It is about communication!. People are now more informed about how animals are kept, the bad transportation, what they are fed with eg!. hormones!. Nobody wants to be a part of this cruelty anymore!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
the reason is i believe 80% of americans r fat, u have a higher % of having a heart attack if u eat meat and vegetarians only eat things that wont scream!. so animal crackers r a okWww@FoodAQ@Com
