Approximately 0.5 percent, or 1 million, of those are vegans, who consume no animal products at all. In addition, 10 percent of U.S., adults, or 22.8 million people, say they largely follow a vegetarian-inclined diet. Data for this survey were collected by the Harris Interactive Service Bureau on behalf of Vegetarian Times. The poll surveyed 5,050 respondents, a statistically representative sample of the total U.S. population. Vegetarian Times commissioned RRC Associates, a research firm in Boulder, Colo., to perform the data analysis. The 2008 study also indicates that of the non-vegetarians surveyed 5.2 percent, or 11.9 million people, are &#8220;definitely interested&#8221; in following a vegetarian-based diet in the future. The study also collected data on age, gender and other demographic factors. Of the vegetarians surveyed: \u00a0 &#8212; 59 percent are female; 41 percent are male. \u00a0 &#8212; 42.0 percent are age 18 to 34 years old; 40.7 percent are 35 to 54; and \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 17.4 percent are over 55. \u00a0 &#8212; 57.1 percent have followed a vegetarian [&hellip;]","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/cropped-HappyCowSQUARE-2016-512.jpg","thumbnail_width":512,"thumbnail_height":512}
