How many vegetarians are there in the United States?
I would like to know the population of vegetarians in the United States because I think the Food Network really needs a vegetarian cooking show because as a vegetarian and a huge fan of Food Network I think it would be brilliant.
Answers:
It's estimated that 1% of the US population is vegan and 2.5% are vegetarian. This number has increased as the population has increased.
By this (I think) reasonable and even low estimate, with the current population of the US at 300 million, that would mean 7 and 1/2 million vegetarians and around 3 million vegans.
Cool! That is a significant minority. Plenty to warrant a veggie cooking show on Food Network.
Oh, and let me recommend a veggie cooking show that already exists: The Post Punk Kitchen (www.theppk.com)
They have great cookbooks and an awesome website with forums and everything!

I've researched and there would be about 5.8 million of them.
not many,real men eat beef
A 2003 survey estimated that 4-10% of people considered themselves vegetarian. Different polls had different results falling into that percentage range with one poll finding that only 2.8% of people surveyed said they never ate 'meat'.
omg, i'm a HUGE fan of food network! and your right, they do need a a vegeetarian show. but there has a been a few times that i've watched food 911 and even emril live where all they did was vegetarian recipieces. why don't you google or yahoo polls on vegetarinisim.
