Total US adult population aged 18 and over numbers is approximately 245 million. Approximately 8 million adults are either vegetarian or vegan. Approximately half of the vegetarians were also vegan. Approximately 3.7 million U.S. adults are vegan. Approximately\u00a04.3 million are vegetarian but not vegan. &#8230;&#8230;this year they also found out 37% of the US adult population always or sometimes eats vegetarian (including vegan) meals when eating out. This equates to more than 90 million &#8216;meat-reducing&#8217; adults in the US! The Vegetarian Resource Group (VRG) is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public on vegetarianism and the interrelated issues of health, nutrition, ecology, ethics, and world hunger. They\u00a0have been helping health professionals, food services, businesses, educators, students, vegans, and vegetarians since 1982. In addition to publishing the Vegetarian Journal, VRG produces and sells a number of books. Expect even\u00a0higher figures in 2017! &#8230;&#8230; Our Projects The Henry Salt Archive is one of our, almost completed, projects. The Humanitarian League is our [&hellip;]"}
