Do you find there's more young people becoming veggies because of the internet?!
Because of the ease of emails, google and yahoo, and videos such as "meet you meat" etc!. don't you think that it's easy to spread the veggie word to all your friends, and that more and more people are becoming veggies because of that!?
What do you think, is the internet helping!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Oh yes, I think it's helping greatly!. I became a vegetarian when I was 13 because I could access information easily through the internet!. I have never watched any of PETA's videos, but I did watch a minute or two of Meet Your Meat!. I was thinking about going veg, and that pretty much motivated me to take the plunge!.
I went vegan this year and I used the internet so much for help! Yahoo Answers, Google, Youtube!.!.!.all those places!. I was constantly looking for advice, tips, recipes and everything I needed for a smooth transition to veganism!.
I also think the internet DOES make it easier to spread the "veggie word"!. I make videos on Youtube all the time about veganism and there are so many websites about vegetarianism and veganism as well!. Not to mention Yahoo Answers!
Well hope I helped and good luck :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Possibly but the more important question is "How many of those kids who convert remain vegetarians!?" The number of vegetarians has not increased significantly in the last 20-30 years (about 1 %) despite the hundred fold increase in available information including videos, manifestos, pro resources etc!.
The best that can be said about the Internet is that it helps spread information!. But how much of that information is actually true, how many people actually believe in it is still undetermined!.

That is an unjustifiable theory!.
There are many reasons why young people are becoming vegetarians or even vegan for that matter!.
Some would say that they are vegetarian because they don't find killing animals moral, others would say that they don't like eating meat and those (like myself) are vegetarian due to health purposes and find that having a vegetarian diet is beneficial towards your health!.
Yes, there may be SOME influence towards becoming a vegetarian via the Internet but it should not be considered the reason why young people are becoming vegetarian!. That's like saying that people are puppets on a string waiting to be manipulated by the mass media and have no brain or decision of their own!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

This is an interesting theory!. It would stand to reason that because information and videos (like Meet Your Meat) are now available for free worldwide, that more people would become better informed and choose a veggie diet!. I don't know if there's any way you can prove this, but it certainly seems to hold water!.
Just for the record, I became vegan after becoming disabled in the Marine Corps and reading in a regular ol' ink-and-paper book that a vegan diet was best to manage my untreatable condition!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Oh yes all the various means that we all have to communicate are helping people make more serious choices about what goes into our bodies!. All the info on preservatives and toxins and hormones, well, it is so bad that more people are becoming veggies and eating pesticide free vegetables!. You can really taste the difference too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I always wanted to be vegan but put it in the too hard basket!.
Until I discovered forums like this which are great for getting meal ideas/inspiration etc!.!. Its helping people become healthier too, everyone here is very insistant on getting enough protein & veggies etc that I never thought about much before!. I just ate what tasted good!.
Now veganism is easy!. =]Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think it is helping a lot!. I personally am very new to the concept and am hoping to make my lifestyle as vegan as possible!.
The internet helps with my questions and to get more information when I am unsure or curious about certain things!.

Absolutely, I have been a vegetarian for 10 yrs because I had to do a paper on animal rights and I came across PETA's website and watched the videos!. The internet definitely helps get the word out to more people!. Thank goodness!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
The internet has definitely been helpful with a lot of social movements lately, especially to young people!.
But remember it also works the other way!. The meat industry has an easier time advertising over the internet as well!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's hard to tell if there are more vegetarians because of the internet or if we just see more vegetarians because of the internet!. The internet and the availability of info!. probably has an effect though!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Not just internet, media!. There would be like 50 Vegans in the US if there was no media!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I do believe that it is helping!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes!. A lot of my internet friends have gone veg*n because of the videos I post on YouTube!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
