33% of Canadians Now Vegetarian Or Trying To Eat Less Meat
A recent survey conducted by the Vancouver Humane Society and administered by polling company Environics, “shows that 33 percent of Canadians, or almost 12 million, are either already vegetarian or are eating less meat.” Broken down, the figure includes 8% of respondents that are already veg or mostly veg, as well as 25% of Canadians who say they are trying to eat less meat. The online poll, which surveyed 1507 Canadian adults, found that younger Canadians (between 18-34) are most likely to be veg, while older Canadians are more likely to say they are eating less meat.
