Compassion In World Farming Poll
This Compassion in World Farming survey asked respondents whether or not they have changed their diet to eliminate certain animal foods as a result of the foot and mouth crisis in the United Kingdom.
The percentages of respondents eating less of the following as a result of foot and mouth crisis are:
- Beef (17%)
- Lamb (14%)
- Pork (13%)
- Chicken (4%)
- Fish (2%)
- Salmon/Trout (3%)
- Vegetarian (2%)
- Other (3%)
- None (72%)
- Don’t Know (1%)
The percentages of respondents eating more of the following as a result of foot and mouth crisis are:

- Vegetarian (13%)
